  • Summary: Winning Eleven 8 once again raises the bar with in-depth gameplay, improved realism and increased control. The game now features all the teams from the Italian, Spanish and Dutch leagues under the official license. Featuring 136 club teams and 57 national teams, Winning Eleven 8 offers gamers control of up to 4,500 of the world's greatest soccer players. The game introduces a wealth of new moves and tricks including new free kick and penalty kick techniques, an innovative indirect free kick move and a new dribbling system that offers more control as gamers go one-on-one and try to pass opposing players. Also featured is the first-ever on-screen referee in the history of the series. Boasting an enhanced ref AI, the referee will run up and down the field reacting realistically and instinctively to fouls, giving advantage for minor infringements and even stepping in to calm things down when the action gets heated. Winning Eleven 8 also features improvements to the popular Master League, which now has more strategy through player development and injury, and a new 'My Best Eleven' option so fans can save their greatest teams.

    Simply beautiful, with finely tuned play and as fine a presentation as we've seen in sport. The new details make the game feel much more real, and every step Konami takes towards full global licensing is a boon for fans.

    The most dynamic soccergame to date. Great playability and lots of fun. This one beats Fifa 2005 in all aspects (except for the menu-system that has some flaws).… Expand

    This game isn't bad, but the fuss everyone makes about it is just too much. First of all, while the graphics are good, everything about the game looks cheap. Not that it is everything, but a little polish makes the game more fun to pick up. Secondly, the controls can be sluggish, especially on defense. The keeper is awful at times, not even attempting to save some shots that wind up going in. The touch of the players is realistic, however even the quickest rated players struggle with agililty. I've had this game 3 months playing regularly and it still just isn't all that great. I know everyone hates EA and I understand why but this game just isn't all that.… Expand
