  1. The footie's great, and that's good enough for me. [Christmas 2007, p.66]
  2. The tackling has been improved, and while the whole thing can feel a bit spongy, it still plays a decent game of football. [Christmas 2007, p.76]

    A humungous game built around 12,500 real-life players with more modes and teams and options than a stadium has face painters, FIFA 08 is a superior soccer experience despite its ho-hum facade.
  4. While the next gen consoles got a new facelift the PC version seems to have been an afterthought.

    The new FIFA 08 is just a next game of the FIFA series. Even though nothing will beat FIFA 98 RTWC, this FIFA was not a step in a wrong direction. The only thing I miss is a possibility of playing in a hall. The graphics could have been better but it is not the most important thing if you just want to play football. Expand

    A improved game on its features. nice be a pro feature but it all comes down to the classic match 11v11. The player switching system is still cock up and i expect it to improve alot more better. buck up on it, if not it will hav a serious impact on the player in his game. disappointment but i look forward to the nxt pes. fifa...u have disappoint alot.

    After 2 minutes of playing it I thought I had re-purchased FIFA 07 (seriously). EA obviously do not care enough about the PC platform to release a quality football game for it. Instead they have released a game that is almost identical to 06/07 versions. Heck, Im looking at generic player models that were used 4 years ago! EA should be ashamed of themselves for releasing the game at all. Collapse
