Just for kicks

The 2006 FIFA World Cup videogame is the closest fans can get to the event



VIRTUAL FUN It's now possible through a videogame

The chance to play with your heroes for soccer's most important trophy could be a reality, finally. At least in video games. Electronic Arts' 2006 FIFA World Cup game, the World Cup's only officially licensed videogame, has developed enhanced gameplay attributes and stunning graphics that bring to life close to 100 superstars, and captures all of the spirit and pageantry of the game. It is the closest fans can get to experience 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany without playing the game.

Featuring visual representations of the world's superstar players, gamers experience the 12 official stadiums as they take their team from qualification to glory. In addition to taking control of one of 127 national teams, players will enjoy groundbreaking new play modes. Global Challenge tests even the biggest soccer fanatic by recreating classic moments in FIFA World Cup history with modern teams.

True champions can challenge their friends in eight-way multiplayer matches and take advantage of tremendous in-game un-lockable content such as legendary players and exclusive licensed football apparel.

The 2006 FIFA World Cup video game is available on the PlayStation2 computer entertainment system, the Xbox and Xbox 360 video game systems from Microsoft, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo DS, and Game Boy Advance, PC and mobile as well as the PSP (PlayStationPortable) across the world.

In India, the 2006 FIFA World Cup Game is priced at Rs. 1,299 and is available at all leading music and bookstores across the country. Check details on the game at www.easports2006fifaworldcup.com or http://info.ea.com or www.eaplay.com.
