I may be alone in thinking this, but this game is worth the 59.99 it's sold for, simply because of the ridiculous amount of depth that the large amount of countries and players give. National Anthems are included for nearly every nation in the game as well as great nation and player specific commentary that is some of the most in-depth I've heard this side of The Show (the fact that even minor countries get this treatment is tremendous).
The fact that Tyldesley announces most, if not every starting eleven in the game is remarkable. When you're playing with New Caledonia or Luxembourg and discover that each player gets a shout-out when passing the ball around, you know this game has something extremely special going on with its presentation. Probably the most in-depth commentary since the start of the FIFA series.
To those wondering why this game didn't ship as part of FIFA 10, it would have been impossible. Not until the next generation of disc storage (or until Blu-ray is adapted to each console) will a game have the ability to cram so many teams and so much commentary onto one disc. Plus, EA's done this for years already. FIFA 98 may have had many international teams and a World Cup Qualifying mode, but it never allowed you to play any "true" World Cup games, not to mention there were far less national teams included in the game to begin with.
Like World Cup 98 and 2006 (2002 was a disappointment IMO), this game will have a heavy rotation for the next few years, even after FIFA 11 arrives. The sheer scale of this game and the amount of countries you can play for is astounding IMO. Even the relatively limited CYC mode can be addictive with the sheer number of countries you can possibly play for.
