 Best FIFA Ever October 10, 2007
Stephen E. Pakert

I've personally purchased every FIFA game since 2001 and played the game since it first appeared on the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis. That's over a decade of yearly iterations plus the "World Cup" and "UEFA" editions. I know what I'm talking about.
FIFA 08 on the PS3 is the best FIFA game ever to be released on a Sony system. The graphics and music are top-notch, but that's standard for the game's last few years.
Where the game breaks new ground is in the physics department. Never have professional athletes been honoured with such life-like avatars. Every kick, deak and tackle looks and more importantly feels like the real thing. The new shooting mechanics are inspired as are the ball physics. Combined these two components push the realism through the roof.
The list of impressive attributes continues: loading times are nearly non-existent, Create-a-player is more robust, the arena interface (also found in EA's NBA LIVE 08) is simple and fun and the addition of custom formations is a long awaited boon.
Finally the return of "The Lounge", the tweaking of "Manager Mode" and the addition of the "Be-A-Pro Mode"(which allows the user to control only one player during the match) ups the replay value exponentially.
FIFA 08 is stellar - really an awesome buy for anyone looking for a great sports game. My only complaint involves the lacklustre commentary, which despite being broad in scope is less than enthusiastic.
That small flaw aside, EA has a real winner here. You will not be disappointed, I guarantee it.
Fantastic Game! December 28, 2007

Finally, how grateful am I that a true soccer game has returned. I'm pleased to say that this is the best FIFA that has come in years. The feel of the game, the graphics, the sounds, the new gameplay, etc. I'll try not to make this a long review so here it goes. FIFA has all of the clubs that matter, (and many that don't, really) with official kits, boots, balls, stadiums and many more. The new addition is the shooting system, place the ball where you want it. There is also the new be a pro mode that allows you to play with a single player and be judged on your performance. I have said before that FIFA was becoming an expensive roster update, but I must now take that back and judge this game as excellent. Please, if you love soccer, do us all a favor and pick this game, you won't regret it, I bet my life on it.
great addition to the fifa series. November 5, 2007

i can not express in words how great this game is. i played soccer competitely for over a decade and have been coaching a competitve premier club team for over 4 now. the game designers did a magnificent job constructing the way the game is supposed to be played. this game might seem hard and or not as fun as the last fifa games for somebody who doesn't understand the actual game of soccer. the AI in the game is amazing and will actually adapt to how you play the game and start using your own tactical style of play against you. this is actually the first fifa that has ever given me a challenge and i love it. the game is very smooth and the way the players touch the ball can only be better represented by watch an actual live game. an amazing game. if you are a fan of soccer, this is a must by.
Most Polished Fifa Ever! January 8, 2008

Fifa 2008 is the most polished and perfected fifa that has ever been brought to market. The game play is amazing, the menu, the graphics, the extra features!
People that have played fifa for ages like me will agree, this fifa tops them all for so many reasons its hard to express.
Once you connect to the internet the game breathes an entirely new life: soccer podcasts from all around the world, game updates, roster downloads, live sports ticker, match games with entire strangers.
ITS AMAZING!!!
Great game! March 14, 2008
Ricardo M. Guajardo Guerra (Hidalgo, Tx)
This game is really great for me, i like the online tournaments, the type of game play and also the "play on a single position", this is great, because it tells you when you are playing well, when you are playing wrong that especific position, and you can choose any one that you like....and of course also te classic things, but improved.
