footy aficionados fancying themselves some world class football will get just that in ea's newly announced spinoff, fifa world cup 2010 south africa. simultaneously releasing on xbox 360, ps3, psp and wii, this special installment -- only once every four years people! -- in ea's ongoing franchise features all of the 2010 world cup's 199 qualifying round national teams and all ten of the official south african event stadiums. there's also an online-enabled world cup mode, where you can take any national team (dibs on brazil!) and progress from the qualifying rounds right up to the final match.

wii players will get ''''''an art style that celebrates the cultural vibrancy of the first fifa world cup to be held in africa'''''' (so, pretty much, it'll look like a cartoon) and their own special game mode in zakumi's dream team, where players create custom teams and take their virtual squads on the road against the 32 participating world cup teams. no specific psp version features have been revealed.

fifa world cup 2010 south africa is being developed by ea canada in burnaby, b.c. and is scheduled to hit the pitch on april 27 in the us and april 30 in europe and asia.
