FIFA 08 heralds the latest football season in "Next Gen" gaming! This game has a new graphics engine that was designed to do justice to the power of the PS3.The developers at EA Sports have come up with an ever-more realistic football simulation game with FIFA 08. Players will have to take on the qualities of their physical counterparts in order to win the cup. This 2008 version has loads of innovations, including a new shoooting system and intuitive game play. It has an impressive database containing no less than 620 teams, 30 championships and over 15,000 licensed players. Shoot to score with FIFA 08!
The greatest battle of the new football season is not between any real world club but between the virtual giants of FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer. Konami’s game has always been the favourite but last year FIFA closed the gap to such a degree that the title race has never been closer. This year’s FIFA uses a completely new game engine, for the first time built specifically for the next gen consoles. But improved graphics and animation are only the half of it, with just as much focus going on the artificial intelligence thanks to the new "35 point decision engine". What this basically means is that every player on the pitch is fully aware of those around him and constantly thinking about tactics and position when not under your control.
Other changes include better modelled physics for taking a shot on goal, which take into account everything from air pressure to the angle of your foot. You’re also able to create your own special moves to replicate every possible trick from real life. There are also new game modes including Be A Pro which challenges you to play the role of a single player through a whole season or career. On top of this there are revamped online leagues to play a virtual season in the Premier League, Bundesliga, French League or Mexican 1st Division against real opponents. With 620 licensed teams, 30 offline leagues and 15,000 players as well FIFA might just have made enough new signings this year to put it over the top.

Good Football Game This is by far the best football game I have ever played. The gameplay is good because if you get a good team that work together well you can score loads of goals. The only bad things are that the keepers are very inconsintent and sometimes you make a firm but fare challenge and you get a yellow card for it.
Gameplay-very good
stadium atmosphere-good
game modes-pretty good
Overall it is a very good football game.
Fifa 06 with better graphics A good game but it really is like fifa 06 with better graphics. No create a team, and most irritatingly, every save is called career 1, 2 etc. which makes it very difficult to find one if you have lots of saves. No practice either. The arena is a good idea but training allows you to have practice matches whereas arena is a player against a keeper. there are plusses. graphics 9/10. realism 9/10. having real boots like addidas, puma, umbro etc rather than just ea 1 2 3etc. a good game but lacks some crucial... more info
Same old FIFA FIFA 08 makes it first trip on the PS3. Does it dissapoint, well we'll see.
First, FIFA 08 bring the new be a pro mode which allows you to control 1 player on the pitch and get match ratings and advice. The camera angles is good but it gets frustating when you don't have the ball though. Another dissapointment is the Arena Mode. There is no way to really perfect your free kick technique because in the Arena Mode, free kick practice involves no wall. Also, in a match while taking a close up free kick... more info
Awful.... I've had this game for ages now but i guess ive been putting off writing a review 1) because im too lazy and 2) ive been trying to find some good things about the game.....there are few..... The graphics are actually pretty good but i guess its what we come to expect from the Fifa series. But whats the point in awesome graphics when the gameplay is TERRIBLE!? Hmmm where to begin?... Well the reffereeing is a disgrace to football. Last time i checked (being a referee myself) football was a... more info
