FIFA 08 (Wii)

EA's first FIFA title for the Nintendo Wii has been the subject of quite some excitement in the run-up to its release- and while it doesn't quite manage to live up to the highest hopes of gamers, it doesn't completely disappoint, either. As you'd expect from a FIFA title, most of the details are great- the soundtrack, the available clubs, kits, likenesses are all there. Right down to the way that Wayne Rooney runs on the ball. There are some new, ...
...control mode, which makes it easier for casual players (yes, like your Dad) to pick up and play a multiplayer game with you. There's the challenge mode, featuring real-life scenarios for you to play out. But most strikingly, there are three mini-games. The first is 'Juggle'- you assist your Mii is a game of keepy-uppy, by following on-screen instructions at the right moment, dance-mat style. There's 'Boot-It', a sort of penalty-shootout with power ...

...game, as on all the Fifa genre games the first button you come across on the menu is Play now this is just the same as all the previous Fifas so there's nothing to discuss there. However many fans would be disappointed to know that there is no career mode in the first Fifa Wii. The career mode gave the player the fun and excitement of managing a football club though every season however this has been scraped. Although many new features have been ...

Review of FIFA 08 (Wii)

The Fifa 08 on the wii is basically playing football on the playstaition; but you don't have to bother with the remote; you can do it all with a flick of the wrist. As it has been said many times it plays like the whole family can enjoy playing it. It is much better than on the playstation; because you do it with the flick of the wrist and you feel alot more involved in the game than u do pressing buttons. The bad points are; not as good graphics ...

Review of FIFA 08 (Wii)

This is a great game quite difficult to get used to the settings at first but once you have got them your off. Its great how you can move the ball around the field it took me a while to figure everything out and have still not figured out all the special moves and stuff as yet. So thats it you can play and play the game but still learn new things everytime. The shooting is good the tackling is better the passing of the ball is direct and can move ...
