Introduction
Fifa 08 is a football game based on reality football in the world today, with all of your favourite stars which you aspire to be. It is full of enjoyment and it is also extremely competitive; playing against mates to be the ultimate champion of football. It includes a manager mode, create and structure your own tournament mode and much more excellent features to find and reveal. Also, while you are playing, you can perform wild tricks ... ...Another additional service is that Fifa 08 has licensed all football teams and kits on the game, unlike Pro Evolution. This means you get your full value for money, playing with any team imaginable and possible. Also you can change the ball type, to most of the balls we see today. Isn't that just fab! For example they have not only the Premiership, but also the Championship and Leagues 1 and 2 with all the teams, players and official kits. Unlike ...

Advantages: Amazing Graphics Disadvantages: A slight let down on gameplay
Where to start with Fifa 08? I'm sure most of you have heard or asked the question...Pro Evo or Fifa? Don't lie you know that's why you're here! I've generally always bought both Fifa and Pro Evo games, mainly because I couldn't just pick one as they are both excellent in their own ways. I will now attempt to find differences in the games and eventually pick the better one....here goes....
Controls
Fifa bring brings more realism than ever in the ... ...So much more realistic that Fifa (I can't decide if thats a positive or negative thing, you decide), which is a pretty damn realistic game so you can imagine how good Pro Evo is. Graphics
The graphics are even better in this new installment, 10x better than Pro Evo. When you are at full distance it really does look like your just watching a game on tv. You will at one point start shouting at cesc fabregas for not moving until you realise its because ...

Advantages: Great online play, fantastic graphics, all leagues included Disadvantages: No world cup mode, difficult to score goals and produce fancy skills
Fifa 08 is the first Fifa game to arrive on the playstation 3. Having played all previous Fifa's, I couldnt wait for it's release, however, I cannot help but feel slightly disapointed with the finished product considering the hype that surrounds it.
The game play is much slower than previous Fifa's, very noticably, and somewhat frustratingly so. But this is to allow for the vast new skills moves of which it provides, just about every skill a footballer ... ...as be a pro mode, Fifa 08 has many other different modes in which you can play a game of football. You can have a quick kick off mode where you can just experience a quick game, against the computer, or against a mate. You can also play kick off mode online, either ranked or an unranked game. The challenge mode (which is very long and enduring!), where you can pretty much play every competition there is to play in football, including all the lower ...

Advantages: More proffesional style of play, AI challenging, Many GAME modes, Great offline and online modes Disadvantages: Slow gameplay, Trick system very hard, Slightly confusing menu system
FIFA 08 has evolved throughout the years and has had hard competition with its fellow main competitor "KONAMI". But this year it has exceeded all expectations and brought us a brand new game with new enhanced AI, new tricks, amazing graphics and always the most completed kits and names of players.
By holding down L2 and moving around the right analog you can perform amazing tricks that can cut through defenders but its not always so easy...

The problems with FIFA 08 is that its much slower then other FIFA's and yes we can notice it quite a lot but after trying many matches you will soon get used to it.
The menu system can be a bit confusing at start because there are so many features in it.The "star" players like ronaldinho, messi, van nistelrooy.... really look like real-life but their facial expressions are yet very weak. The none-stars don't look so much as in real life which ...

Advantages: Amazing graphics, solid gameplay, on pitch tricks, good soundtracks, new modes with online features Disadvantages: Harder to master, somewhat flawed foul system, no national teams playable
Fifa vs PES remains one of the hottest debates among football gamers. You can read all sort of reviews comparing both of them on the internet or in magazine and i must say the views are not unanimous at all. I have waited for PES to released before doing a full review so that i can see it for myself. So fellow gamers, here is my view.
Having played both games, i personally thinks that fifa 2008 stands out more for me (i am sure you could have guessed ... ...all, the graphics for fifa 2008 are breathtaking and it is exactly what you expect from PS3, a `futureproof' gaming consoles. After all, it is what it is all about. The pitch looks so real and i swear you can even see sweat dripping down the player's chin! My girlfriend even once thought i was watching a live football match on my tv when i was playing (bizzare, but it's the truth!). PES 2008 is extremely disappointing in this department. Its graphics ...

Advantages: Flawless Graphics Disadvantages: Weather Cant Be Changed
...game of all time!
Fifa 08 is top class when it comes to player movement, realism, crowds, and player's faces. You just could not ask for a better FIFA package... or could we?
We can all moan and have our negatives but in my opinion the only one that I have is the fact that the weather cannot be changed on the game and it must remain constant throughout.
That is the only real concern as the online play is fantastic with 3 different modes that can ...

Advantages: Graphics and new play modes are great Disadvantages: Gameplay is slow
...have forgotten the basics in fifa 08 and concentraited on graphics. The game itself includes a lot more features and gaming modes including be a pro where you can control a single player throughout the game an shout commands to your other team mates in order for you to master the players position and abilities.
EA have edged towards a more Proevo style of play reducing shot power and game speed which gave fifa the continious counter attacking speedy ... ...sound affects and features that fifa 08 provide are a great improvement on what was already an great advance in simulation football, but unfortunatly have lost a lot of the magic that fifa offered making the gameplay not as good espically in multiplayer modes. If you have fifa 07 id stick with it and if you are looking to by new i would still go with fifa 07.

Advantages: Great Choice. Disadvantages: People Don't Take Advantage Of The Choice!!!
...choice, the creators of the FIFA games, EA, have always been made to feel a little embarassed by their rivals Konami (loyal FIFA fans would disagree wi thought!). But this time round EA got one over Konami by creating an extremely entertaining and realistic game.
You have the choice of over 600+ teams (just so you don't complain) nearly all of which are licensed!! The gameplay is extremely smooth and the step up from the PS2 era is clear to see. ... ...my opinion average but it isn't anything that you'd complain about. What was a nice touch though was the one on one with the keeper during load up. And if anyone has played PES2008 you'd be absolutely shocked with the quality of the soundtrack (If you own PES2008, then you know what I mean)
There are also a few different modes to keep you busy, 'Manager Mode' is as always great fun and 'Be A Pro' will make you think differently when playing as you'll ...

Quick review of FIFA 08 (PS3)
I never Expected FIFA to overcome Pro Evo, but it really has. It is such a fluid game now, with the upgraded physics, anything is possible it is no longer fixed actions and animations, any type of shot, pass, tackle, header and save is completely do-able and I will just say Pro Evo 2008 has alot of catching up to do. FIFA is the benchmark and the online reaffirms this, the interactive leagues, rankings and 1vs1 along with Be a Pro Mode add everything you could ever want, and more than PES offers/ with Better Graphics. I don't have time to fully detail the game here, but really now, it is the bees knees - get it! ...

Advantages: ADDICTIVE; WIDE CHOICE OF TEAMS AND STADIUMS; GREAT GRAPHICS; ONE ON ONE MINI GAME Disadvantages: HARD GAME TO GET USED TO
...I was younger, for example, Fifa 2003, I could actually run the whole pitch with the goalie and score where as with this game I struggled to get the ball past midfield using the whole team.
The gameplay overall is great, a little complicated but very addictive and soon started getting used to the controls and got to grips with the way to play the game.
There's a vast choice of football teams and different world famous stadiums to play within. This ... ...as your favourite team, even if in a lower division and help them through the season.
The graphics are great and the sound is good but did find that the comments made by the commentators can get repeated very often and can get annoying.
One little thing with this game which I found great was that when loading a match you can play a one on one with a goalie as Brazilian Ronaldinho to help practice your control of the players and understand the controls ...

Advantages: Lincesed teams, Authentic crowd & Stadiums Disadvantages: Add More Competitions e.g Champions League
FIFA 2008 is by far the best i have ever played the game is brought to life with authentic crowd chants and the fully licensed teams which makes the game more realistic when playing. FIFA is brought to life with the fantastic skills that are on offer this gives the game more of a feel and makes people want to play the game because the skills are what attracts people to play the game. The graphics just get better and better all the time the commentary ... ...is a must have for all your ps3 fans and FIFA fans. The Game Play will keep you addicted to the game so peps their is only one thing left to do and that is go and purchase the game if you already haven't you don't know what your missing. ...

Advantages: great graphics Disadvantages: repetative, not too different from fifa 07
Fifa 08, well where can i start? A very very good football game for the PS3 with numerous different game modes and amazing online play. Fifa 08 has some of the best graphics i have ever seen a a game as the ps3 enhances the visual game play dramatically. The game has all the main leagues from around the world so you won't be dissapointed if you wanted a specific team. The only bad point i find with Fifa 08 is the fact that is isn't too dissimiliar ... ...same. However the online play is amazing, with numerous online game modes including leagues, matches, ranked matches and unranked matches. If i am being truthfully honest i think that this game gets a bit too repetative and all of the fifa's seem to be the same, despite this though, if you like football then this game is well worth a buy. ...
