Today IGN has posted their review of 2006 FIFA World Cup, which comes out April 24th, in which all together they gave the game a 8.4 out of 10. IGN's Reviews go into 5 different categories for the title.

Presentation-(9.0)
Every national anthem, facts about each country, every World Cup stadium -- EA nailed the international spectacle that is the World Cup.
Graphics-(7.0)
The cutscenes and replays look terrific, as do player animations, but regular gameplay is only decent, visually. That's videogame soccer for you.
Sound-(8.0)
Excellent work in the audio booth and with a responsive, riotous crowd. We're not sure which country will appreciate the song list, but it's probably not this one.
Gameplay-(8.5)
Yes it's a good imitation of Winning Eleven, but FIFA does manage to innovate with star players, shooting and PKs. Imitator or not, this is a fun soccer game to play.
Lasting Appeal-(6.0)
World Cup games are traditionally shallow and, while this is the deepest World Cup game yet, there should be more bang for your buck with some kind of manager mode.

2006 FIFA World Cup is EA's latest soccer game in the FIFA series in it's EA Sports line up and the second FIFA game for the 360 the first being FIFA 06: Road to FIFA World Cup which came out at launch. Soccer fans should make sure to check out the newest FIFA game as FIFA will be the sponsor of next month's Free Xbox Live Week.
