Heroes will be born, villains will be crucified. History will be written, dreams will be fulfilled and shattered. The World Cup, a time and place where even the most transient football fan pauses, notices and appreciates the beautiful game.

This summer in June, 32 of the world's best soccer teams are descending on Brazil, home of the beautiful game, to determine a champion. And like every time before, EA sports has released a special World Cup edition of its annual FIFA Soccer game to commemorate the occasion.

This is exactly what I wanted from 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil . It's a fully featured game of FIFA that has been branded beautifully for the World Cup. If you can't wait for June for the World Cup then I'd highly recommend checking out this game, it's really well done.

Has EA Sports managed to replicate the spectacle and excitement of this summer's tournament?

Nice presentation that captures the mood of the tournament; solid football game underneath; decent range of modes and options

Too expensive considering the brevity of its relevance; no series progression

World Cup Soccer…every 4 years with huge worldwide fanfare the perfect game makes its return with the World Cup tournament. The cup is contended for over a few weeks and usually the soccer, or footie for you purists, is never better, with the very best the game can on stage for fans to watch.

Four years ago I reviewed the last World Cup game from EA, and now it is time to look at how much the game has changed. With the next generation and digital downloads en vogue, it is interesting that EA chose to make this game available on disc for the last generation of machines.

With the excitement building up for the World Cup in Brazil this year, Betfair has kindly sent us a copy of the new FIFA game. Here's what we thought of it. It's that time when the nation comes together every four years to gather its hopes and dreams of England finally winning that prestigious World...

2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil is your regular videogame tie-in to one of the biggest shows of sportmanship that comes by every four years. That's right. The World Cup is upon us once again where crowds will throng in the streets of Brazil come June.

Puts you in the mood for some World Cup action; Detailed stadium models and playing fields

Some issues with AI players; Average looking models for players that are evident up-close

The World Cup is an event unmatched by anything else seen in sports. Not even the Olympics touch the enormity and fanatical breadth of the World Cup. The whole world truly watches this one month tournament played every four years.

Ok, here it goes. First of all this should of course has been a DLC. Way too expensive as a single game. Ripoff! Second, EA Sports has been really lazy this time (you are slowly getting used to it). The presentation is looking amateurish.
