  • Summary: EA has created a unique character of the celebrated Brazilian International soccer star that is playable in FIFA Soccer 08 on Wii. The Wii-exclusive Ronaldinho hosts a game mode designed and created exclusively for Wii called Footii Party with Ronaldinho. With this mode, EA introduces unique party games - including Table Soccer and Shoot Off – where you can play as your self-created Mii character to unlock Ronaldinho and take on the champ. Each Footii Party game is created as a multiplayer, social experience designed to engage and entertain fans of all ages. The game's FreeMotion controls help level the playing field for all players and turns FIFA Soccer 08 on Wii into a physical, social activity. It also provides gamers with an authentic soccer experience with more control. It's easy to pick-up and play and with the in-game Soccer Academy you can learn basic and advanced controls in more than 30 interactive tutorials. Each lesson teaches you how to master the FreeMotion controls and perform all the necessary movements to dominate on the pitch. [Electronic Arts] Expand

  1. If you're after a 'serious' football game on the Wii you could do a heck of a lot worse than FIFA 08. If you had concerns about the controls, don't worry - it works. [Dec 2007, p.82]
  2. Overall this is a great little package, even though it is one that feels like it won't be truly perfected until next year.
  3. FIFA Soccer 08 on the Wii is not for everyone. In fact, there are a lot of people who will find this title quite dull.
  4. The game modes aren’t as fleshed out as the other versions of the game.

    Suprising Depth, fantastic controls. I'm amazed at how great this is, it looked very cartoony to me before I actually played it. Best Nintendo Baseball game to date. Collapse

    At first this game may feel weak and lifeless. Yes it is a tired port with no manager mode and yes the controlls can feel hard at times. But give this game a few days/weeks and it kicks in. Everything falls nicely into place, with wii extras and a very good online mode. Expand

    Really dissappointed. Previous iterations had a full on season mode where you could manage the team and try to qualify for chapions league. This version has no management mode whatsoever. All you can do is play country saesons or cups on their own. Whats the biggest outrage is not being able to choose international teams in tournament mode. Totally illogical. So you can only play international friendlies. Online mode is promissing, hold out for pro evo if you're a true footie fan however. Expand
