Promising. Lets hope EA gets it right in the coming future.
The gameplay is really solid. It can be a bit difficult at times, especially for casual players and first time players to the FIFA series. The shots require precision timing and a good eye. As long as you can get these correct, you can really enjoy the game. I liked the idea of tricks added into the game, which you couldnt do in previous games.
The graphics are great. I like that the uniforms bend and wrinkle as the player moves. The pitch looks nice, the fans are nicely made, and the ball looks like the real life ones. It was just a well made game.
Some of the things I liked in the game was the Be a Pro mode, where you take control of one player for a game. It was a cool experience and I really enjoyed it.
Some of the things I didnt like were kind of things that shoudent be seen in a soccer game. First off, the player movement seems real yes, but players dont turn on a and run in the opposite direction when a ball comes their way. This is just me, it happens all the time. Another tihng I didnt like was the ref's calls. Many were stupid calls that would get a real ref fired. Lastly, their were a couple glitches, like a ball going through feet or worse, through the goalies hand.
All in all, FIFA 08 is an awsome game. I play it all the time. Its fun to play, and offers fun, memorable matches all the time. FIFA 08 is definatly a buy. It is just those glitches, and player movement problems that does not make this game a 10.
