    Except for the boring commentary and lack of real team names, there is nothing wrong with this game. Near perfect, just needs a little more wild fan atmosphere. This is the most realistic video sports game ever created (sorry Madden).

    I am not bothered with licenses or any of that irrelevant stuff...to me no other game provides so much joy on a 2 player mode as this game. Hence, my only complain regarding this game is its lack of online capability.

    This is an extreme game of the new overcoming season that exploded through the minds of international gamers and made them talk one language FOOTBALL.

    Nearly perfect. far and away the best of the genre. the match flow is highly realistic and the tactical options are deep and--best of all--actually affect the gameplay.

    I remember the days of playing Fifa soccer on Genisis and how great that experience was. Now I could relive those days with WE8. Not only is this hands down the best sports game, I would vote this game as one of the best games ever made in the 30+ years of video game history... The amazingly fun gameplay and the realistic graphics make this game 10/10 in my book.

    Best soccer game ever made. This game makes FIFA of the EA seems a joke.

    This was an awesome game! One of the best football simulations i have ever seen. It has nice moves and a good variety of passes and give and goes. The season mode i thought could have been better, i wish there was online play, but most importantly i wish they had the variety of teams like World Tour Soccer 2005. What ever happened to have the other favorite club teams such as DC United. This is a must own soccer game for fans! Really fun to play friends and the goals are just as exciting( cause there hard to get)! Expand

    Other than boring commentators, and licenses for real names, this game is an excellent game.

  1. The A.I. is even brainier than before (teams now put extra pressure on the goal when trailing and sit back with the ball when ahead), the shooting controls are less sensitive - a good thing - and the visuals are finally comparable to FIFA's.
  2. 90
    WE8 just feels real. The tempo and feel of the game show a deep understanding of soccer. The A.I. is spot-on, especially that of your own teammates, who continually move around and make runs for your benefit. Control is smooth and rock solid.
  3. 90
    It's still a winner - but this time by a very narrow margin.
