 Great Game February 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This Is Great Game, There Are Lots Of Different Modes, Lots Of Editing Options etc.
The 'Be A Pro' Mode Is Fun And A Great Addition, Especially With 2-4 Players.
 A good try, but not the football sim you'd wanna play January 12, 2008

Football is the most popular and the most televised sport on the planet,and this is the thing even people who hate sport are still interested in it,even if they don't watch it.
Now EA has been pumping sports games out since the beginning of humanity and I wouldn't be surprised if they make the world cup of tiddely-winks, or penny throwing, or if they get totaly plastered a game about throwing chickens.
EA's newest game for the PS2 boast's more than 15,000 international players from any country on the planet. It's really obvious to see that they've put a lot of money in to marketing they have every league from south Korea to the American D1 (maybe americans will actually discover they play soccer(football) thanks to this game!).
right i've got past the teams now to the gameplay: Fifa boasts ball phisics ,or whatever sort of stupid acronym they come up with, the players have there strength's and weaknesses and the controls are pretty easy to understand and a good thing is that if you're a Pes player and you're going over to EA you can change the controls so they suit your style.
Now the bad bits: now to get this out of the way I am not a huge fan of the crazy money spin known as the Barclay's Premiership I am in fact a fan of the french league (Ligue 1) mostly 'cos I suport a french team and because there is real football and money doesn't come into the equasion. Now here's the problem: I thought that i'd play as my favorite team ,Lille OSC, you might have heard of then last season in the champions league against Man U (which was obviously a draw or a win for Lille!) I played with them against them southamption (no intro there!) and they beat me 1-0! now I just sat there for five minutes so I played three more times 2 draws and a loss. It is now apparent that EA has obviously made every English team the superhuman robotic brazilian football team(even the teams that you've never heard of) So they are trying to make Hull city or Luton town fans happy so that they can say "yes i beat Lyon 4-0!!" you understand what i'm saying, They haven't taken one look at the french league, and it's quite plain to see that the designers just phoned it in a bit and prayed like mad that they could pull it of.
so finally this is the main point of Fifa 08 for the ps2 it's just to get more money and a sports game to throw out of the door and see who'll buy it.
I would strongly advise to get the next-gen version as the graphics look better, the gameplay is better and the players don't look like they've OD'd on sleeping drugs and have either come from madame tussaud's or have joined insomniacs anonymous.
Thankfully the game was only given as a test try and i'm now thankfull that I've got the PS3 version, now all I have to do is wait for Playstation 3!!
07 is better! January 10, 2008
I have just got hold of a copy of 08 - waited until the sales came! Glad I did - I had 07 and to be honest 08 is not any better. Actually in trying to make it better EA have made it more complicated and really not gained much ground over 07. Who thought of that rediculous stick flick that you have to use to get control of the defence? Dreadful idea - and slow - by the time you get the player indicated and the game responds to the control, its often too late.
The training schedule is a good idea - but just adds too much to think about and fit in. Especially if you start with a small club - I had Brighton - and you have no where near enough players to complete games with and no hope of signing any new ones.
My advise - if you are happy with 07, then stick with it. it is just as good, simpler, and therefore more enjoyable. 08 is trying to be more realistic and in so doing has become too complicated.
I will stick with it as I paid out for it - maybe it is too early - but my first impressions are that 08 is not the leap forward from 07 that it claims to be.
FIFA 08 January 8, 2008

I do not see why everybody is saying this fab game is rubbish. Pro Evo is one of the worst football games i have been on. Fifa 08 is world class. It has brill graphics. (It is alot harder than fifa 07)
Very good. January 1, 2008

I enjoyed this game while it lasted, (the disk got scratched) and I would recommend it to aspiring footballers, and gamers alike.
A good gift, but make sure they would like it.
