It's not a game..... It simply isn't. Even though it's meant to be.
The crossing is so awful that none of the players even seem to know what the box is, they'd rather smash someone's face in when they're sitting innocently in the stand. The shooting is frequently off target. I find I'm actually more acurate shooting outside of the box than inside of it. It just seems, poor, comapred to it's PES counterpart. It appears harder to actually play...and that;s only when you can get it to play.
I have it in my collection. But It'll never let me play it. In fact, I've played one game in an hour and a half today. Officially the crashes are winning 4-1, because in that hour and a half I've had to turn the damned computer off FOUR times. Great for patient people, which I am not.
If you like your computer games to crash everytime you ask it to start, then this is the perfect buy.
But I don't. so It isn't.

Madden. The fifa games are rubbish in comparison to madden. The be a pro mode is useless as you can only do one game, whereas superstar mode on madden is much better as you can do a whole career and you just do your player. i have both fifa 08 and madden nfl 08 and i can honestly say that fifa pales in comparison. Franchise mode is 10 times better than manager mode.
Don't waste your money get madden

Nothing new. I have been a fifa fan for all these years. i had got all the games even when my friends said i should stop buying them and get pro evo. my friends were right. i had really enjoyed the earlier ones like fifa 2003/4/5 beacause the game flow wasnt so stiff. when you changed direction it was smooth, same as all the gameplay. but since fifa 06, onwards the shot mechanics are poor, same unrealistic shot every time. when they run their arms look very stupid and you cant aim freekicks or corners with an arrow anymore. the goalpost vibration dosen't help. unlike the pro evo series where the shooting varies between what player you are. (ronaldinho will shoot like ronaldinho) and the dribbling is very smooth. i will still get the fifa games because i dont like to wait for the next football action. but i woulod reccomend the pro series.

Disappointed. I have to say that when I brought this game it was mainly because I was curious to see how it had succeeded Fifa 07. It doesn't. There are a few changes and a few add-ons but nothing to what I expected. It almost feels like the game has taken a step backwards. Fifa 07 I think is the best game for originality I have ever played and unfortunatly the fun factor has totally been stripped from Fifa 08. It is actually boring to play a game which lasts about 15 mintues, regardless of what game settings you have it on. I really am not surprised there are so many used copies available, (75 used today). Utter disappointment and the creators should be ashamed. Tut tut disgraceful.

I love this game, but.... I am a massive fan of EA games and the fifa series.Fifa 08 is one of the best games that i own,but to be honest with you,i think it's getting to the point,where EA are focusing more on the ps3 and xbox 360, as there seems to be a lot more that you can do on the newer consoles. However i still love this game,and would recommend it to anyone.
:D 5 stars
