Fun:
I am a fan of FIFA 09 for Wii, but I was deterred from buying 2010 because of bad reviews. But with the World Cup coming up, I decided to purchase the game to get to know the squads for the upcoming tournament. I am enjoying this game immensely.
First off, the gameplay- the addition of using B to do high passes brings the game's fun factor up by a mile, and was something missing from 09. The shots are explosive and remind me of a more arcade experience, but it's quite fun. The shooting is a bit like the Footii matches from 09, but faster shot speed. There is a bit of slow motion that comes when shooting, but it enables you a split second to position your defensive player to make a block and help protect your goalie. I don't find it obtrusive, but some might so please keep this in mind. So far, I am not sure if this feature can be disabled. Shooting on set pieces is more difficult, and is not as automatic as it was in 09- you no longer point the Wii remote at the screen, and requires some timing by shaking the remote at the correct moment. As a soccer fan, I like all of this.
Second, I really enjoy the Build Zakumi's Dream Team feature, which put you and your (default) low rated all-star squad up against various nations, with objectives to complete in game. This feature reminds me of older EA games, accomplishing things to gain points for better skills, etc. As you defeat clubs and accomplish (like maintaining 68% possession against South Africa, or completing 10 straight passes and scoring off those passes against Honduras) tasks, the game allows you to trade players with the team you defeat. This enables you to build an All-Star team of the best Internationals! Another neat feature I like is, as you build your Dream Team, you are able to download it to your Wii remote to play at a friend's house. Very cool, although I don't know how useful it would be unless playing many friends in some sort of tournament. Overall, seeing the new kits, having 199 teams, and the innovative features make a cool game.
Update 5/11/10: I am still enjoying the game, having completed the Dream Team feature and now trying to complete the unlockables. I noticed some commments are negative toward the Wii version compared to other consoles. I think this is the point of the Wii. If you are new to soccer or just want to have fun and score a lot of goals, this is a fine game and system.

Fun:
If you are a football fan, specifically an International football fan then this game is right for you. No it's not Soccer, it's football!
Surely you must have tried one of the EA Sports FIFA games and if you haven't you should. South Africa 2010 game is pretty much the same as FIFA 2010 (which is based primarily on club football) but focused on International teams with some mild improvements. Graphics and output is very nice. Some basic highlights:
You can "Hit the pitch"
Challenge ANY of the final 200 teams in qualifying for World Cup
You can create your own world cup
Swap teams for the final 32
Change the teams in groups of your choice
Or even swap players (ridiculous but true)
It has on-line playing
And in interesting challenge to create your dream team
However, it's all based on the structure of the South Africa World Cup; stadiums, dates, venues and the ever controversial vuvuzela! Amazing how this games captures a lot of the realities including that darn ball that flies everywhere!
Negatives from my experience:
The game does come with a few glitches every now and then
Celebrating a goal is quite lame in comparison to FIFA 2010 (I really hope they revert in later editions)
For the Die hard fan, the teams skill and capability is based on FIFA ranking so France and Italy for example are a lot better in the game than actual performance (no offense to the fans)
If your team did not qualify, you'll realise that your player make really silly mistakes because again, it's based on the Fifa ranking.
That's my view.

Fun:
It's a decent, arcade-ish, multiplayer-oriented soccer game, but it suffers from being far too similar to FIFA 10 (if you already own FIFA 10 you're getting just slightly more than a re-skin of it). The game features unrealistic physics and some crazy-insane slow-mo effects (very Matrix-like) to really bring out the all-important "cool factor," however, it eschews realism in favor of fast-paced fun.
The rest of the gameplay feels very old school with only eight directions available for movement which makes it very tough to have effective runs up the field and even tougher to turn the corner around the defender. Other annoyances come when you try to intricately weave passes through the defense. Having through balls and standard passes on the same button is a real mistake. You can no longer hold down the pass button to determine its power, as holding it down now triggers a through ball. Too often the player I'm trying to pass to was too far away for the game to realize where I was trying to go with the pass. Instead of it auto-detecting the distance and delivering a slightly faster-paced kick, all I got was a tap of the ball that then rolled five feet in front of my player. If you have a Classic Controller, I'd recommend using it. The results are much better than what you'll get with either the Wii Remote and Nunchuk combination or just the Wii Remote.
This game will appease younger gamers who just want to go kick the soccer ball, hear unrealistically loud noises when players take a shot and see lots of bright colors.
If you want to just finish a match with incredible scores and using fantastic tricks, this is your soccer game. Those looking for a realistic soccer game won't find it here, you'd still better stick with Pro Evolution Soccer, far deeper and more satisfying.
