(Currently available in the UK/EU only) With its accessibility, Real Football 2008 lets anyone who loves the beautiful game, regardless of their skill level, set the field on fire with dribbles, step-overs, set pieces and spectacular goals. Play in larger-than-life stadiums, take on players with realistic characteristics and feel just like a real player as you shout into the built-in mic to influence the referee's decisions! Extremely intuitive controls make it easy to put together awesome footballing feats, regardless of your level, and perform spectacular technical moves such as bicycle kicks, step-overs, back-heels, flip-flaps and lobs. Yell into the microphone to influence the referee's decisions and thump penalty kicks into the back of the net with the stylus on the touch screen. Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of match day with nine stadiums that have been intricately modelled down to the smallest details. Stands, fans, pitch detail and 3D players with animations modelled on top world players all help create a genuine match feel. Your team-mates and opponents adapt to your playing style, offering never-before-seen strategy depth. You'll see them run the ball, use defence pressing, or even be substituted, based on the decisions you make. Multi-player mode for unlimited replayability: Play with up to four players with multiple cartridges and enjoy fiercely competitive, unforgettable football tournaments. [Ubisoft]

A robust game engine can't disguise the fact that Real Football 2008 is sadly bereft of the necessary embellishments a modern football title requires. Nevertheless, it's worth a look if the competition leaves you cold.

It's blatantly stepping on both FIFA 08 and (fingers crossed that it's better than last year's) PES's toes (even managing to homage a couple of the latter's features). So when you take into account the lack of Wi-Fi, and that multiplayer requires a card each for a match, you're best giving the underdog a miss this year and selling your soul to the perennial stalwart of your choice instead.

Cool Dude gave it a7:
It's a good game , the part where you can shout into the mic to argue with the ref is cool. Overall it is a good game! All you gotta do is bye it to find out.
