NCAA 08 is a pretty good, pretty much what you expect from an EA football game
Going through legend mode is a lot of fun, i especially like the high school football games at the start. The crowd noise is pretty well done, mascots are prsent and you get a feel for the school spiited. Rivarly games feel even more heated when your playing at home and your hear your crowd getting pumped.
The actaully game play itself is pretty good, its a typical ncaa/madden type game. The few annoying things are the amount of fumbles. I understand these are college kids who aren't as good, but no one fumbles the ball this many times. Also interception a lot of times the guys are really not near the ball at all yet they manage to get it into their hands. Besides the turnovers everything else is pretty solid.
But as you can see I've repeated the game is solid and thats what you will get. Nothing is going to jump out at you, it can be addicting, it is fun, and its worth playing.
