Step onto the field with your created player to play an entire game as that footballer, and develop him into an elite player over the course of the season. Never before have you been able to approach the game this way, improving your abilities one skill at a time just as if you were a pro. Play with up to three friends playing all fixed to their players on your favorite club, complete individual challenges to develop your player attributes and win glory for the squad, while competing with your friends to develop the best player by seasons end.From the moment you step on the pitch, FIFA Soccer 08 challenges you to think and react like a real soccer player by giving you complete control over all of the action. New manual controls enable you to dictate the play with control over through-passing and crossing. Control the goalkeeper in one-on-one situations to deny the striker yourself. Take ultimate control over your defenders with new manual controls that enable you to use the right-stick to quickly switch defenders and choose exactly who you want to control when defending. Plus, now it is more strategic to break down the opposition than ever before with new defensive and positioning logic that ensures players are in the right place at the right time, constantly considering all threats and opportunities.Intelligently manage your club by preparing for each specific opponent using new custom formations. Design your own unique strategy to create the perfect formation and tactics. Assign roles and move players to the exact position in relation to teammates to undermine the opposition.

between the virtual giants of FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer. Konamis 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 years 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. Youre 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.Harrison Dent

I have always been a FIFA fan but recently started taking an interest in PES. FIFA 08 on the PSP in my opinion is the best football game out there.
--Gameplay-- FIFA 08 comes with a new range of game modes:
Kick-Off - Normal exhibition game where you can play with any club or country in any stadium in the world.
Football IQ - Allows you to answer all different sorts of questions in 4 different categories (Local Game, National Cup, International Championship and Friendly Match). These questions can be very hard at times; however there are some really easy ones to go with it. My current IQ is a not very impressive 115!
Interactive Leagues - I have not used this mode yet, but it allows you to play in an interactive league with other players using the PSP's wifi connection.
Game Modes - There are some great parts to the game mode. Here you can play a tournament, go into manager mode where you can buy and sell players, set training routines, and also play or simulate you matches. There is also a challenge mode (easy and hard) 61 challenges altogether. Other great new playing modes are the Juggling (you simply follow on screen instructions using the d-pad) and Wall Attack (hit different targets on a wall to improve your score).
--Difficulty level-- Like most games it always takes me a while to get used to all the controls and work out the best tactics to employ. I couldn't work out how to tackle properly at first and really struggled to keep a clean sheet. I soon got to grips with it and started to enjoy the game more and more. The challenges come in two different parts (Easy and Hard) the easy challenges start off by needing to score 1 goal in about 45 minutes and the last of the hard challenges is by started 3-0 down and winning the game 5-3 in the 2nd half.
--Fun factor-- With all the new additions to FIFA 08 this is by far the most fun football game on a PSP I have ever played. I currently have a team in manager mode, play exhibition games, work on my football IQ and regularly try to improve on my juggling and wall attack scores.
--Reliability-- Very reliable game never had a problem and always runs as smoothly as hoped.
--Game controls-- The game controls are great although I have not yet got to grips with the off the ball runs. Using the joystick controls the movement of the players and is easy to control the players when jogging or sprinting with them. Another addition that I love and always use is the quick tactics which can be used with the d-pad controls. One thing I hate about the game is that I find taking penalties far too hard! I always put them wide or hit the post, when I do manage to hit the target the keeper rarely save it! Graphics
--Audio-- FIFA 08 comes with a good range of background music and the commentary is what we have come to expect from Martin Tyler and Andy Gray.
--Instructions/Manual-- Yet again they manual for an EA sports game is fully comprehensive and covers everything you need it to. Although I always find it more fun just to play and work out all the controls for myself.
I love this game and is defiantly in my top 3 of PSP game out so far along with virtua tennis and Brian Lara cricket pressure play.
Advantages: Cool mini-games, good manager mode Disadvantages: slow loading screen, gameplay controls can be fiddly
Being a very big fifa fan from my PS2, i was very excited about getting this game: the prospect of being able to play one of my favourate games wherever and whenever i wanted (as long as my battery was charged).
Starting the game up threw me with familiar game logod like previous fifa editions, and then started the music. Obviously because of the storage space of the UMD discs, you would expect much less music too be included, although suprisingly, ... ...good as my old PS2 fifa games which i find to be quite amazing given the size of the PSP itself.
Controlling the players i found to be quite sluggish, not repsonding to some things i wish it to do. This problem i soon started to overcome though as i began to play the game more and more, scoring more and more goals.
I particularly like the manager mode however, having the ability to modify the team in every way, bringing in new players and controlling ...

Advantages: gameplay is good, nice presentation, official kits , good replay value, lots of extras Disadvantages: a few bugs here and there , online play isnt very good
...teams have the original kits)
Fifa on the other hand has all the presentation but lacked the game play.
Fifa 2008 on the other hand has good gameplay and nice presentation
which i didn't expect.
But it does have some cons:
Online play is awful mostly because its lagy, makes you want to throw your PSP at someone(luckily im not a fan of online gaming on sports anyway), but also online play will cut out 70% of the time.
Also a few glitches here ...

Advantages: Easy to play. Overall its an exciting game. Disadvantages: It is to easy to score and needs to improve the graphics
FIFA08 Review:
when i first bought this game i fort it was not going to be as good as fifa08 on psp and xbox etc. but it is actully a realy good game. the onli downside i think is the graphics of the game. they need to imporve the graphics in fifa 09 on nintende ds maybe?
it is really easy to scoare a goal aswell. i just run on the side of the pitch and then cross the ball in and header it into the goal. really easy to do and win matches.
Overall it is a good game and i reckon that it is worth buying on the nintendo ds. it is addictive and great fun to play.
i hope that this review helps

Advantages: Lots of new features Disadvantages: Gamplay a bit too realistic
Fifa 09
Thinking of PES 09 or Fifa 09? Hopefully this review will help you. I've got fifa 07, 08,09- Fifa 07 on PSP and Fifa08 and 09 on PS3.
Firstly Fifa 09 is not that different from 08. Graphics definatly better then fifa08 but I'd say that the gameplay of fifa08 is better. Different features of fifa 09- Players are much more realistic for example they fall over much more easily; you can accually see the referee in the game; headers are much harder to score from crosses; after you score you can do a celebration that you can choose by pressing the buttons it says for example: areoplane celebration down triange up; the all new be a pro season where you only control 1 player throughout the season, get your players experience up, score tons of goals and get bought by other clubs and different online features like Interactive ...

Advantages: Multi purpose modern gadget: films, music games, internet Disadvantages: Lacks some features of DS
. of course the amount you can put on there will depend upon how large your memory stick is. The basic pack comes with a 32mb stick which is unsuitable for any films, but you can now purchase 2 or even 4GB memory stick for around £30.
Note: a film will take around 700MB (rough estimate)
You can also purchase UMD movies to play on your PSP which are just like DVDs for the PSP. Here are a few good ones:
- I Robot
- The Simpsons Movie
- Night at the Museum
You can get most new films!
Music:
Again very similar to videos in which they need to be put on through the computer and the amount you can store will depend upon the memory stick.
Games:
there are a variety of different games which can be bought for the PSP and which are very similar to those of the PS2 - in content and graphics.
Here are my favorite games:
- Fifa08
- Loco ...
