Critic Reviews

88 Game Chronicles
While it isn’t anywhere near the improvement of the 360, it still packs quite a punch.
82 PSM3 Magazine UK
The complete package for any football-loving PSP owner. [Dec 2007, p.83]
82 IGN
FIFA 08 on PSP is a solid soccer outing, there’s no doubt about it. It will keep players entertained for a lengthy plane ride or a boring college lecture, even if it does borrow many of its modes from the PS2 version.
80 Games Master UK
Solid, well presented and enjoyable. Just the right level of challenge for the PSP. [Dec 2007, p.56]
80 Pocket Gamer UK
It still can't quite keep up with "Pro Evo" on the pitch in terms of purist authenticity, but FIFA 08 is a huge, glinting treasure trove of features and modes with accessible gameplay and solid presentation.
75 GameSpot
The PSP version of FIFA 08 is packed with features and game modes, although the football itself could use a bit more work.
60 Gamestyle
While one of the the biggest issue with the series lies decidedly with the console's controls itself, it's hard to lay all the blame on the game itself completely; but it remains difficult to recommend this over its home console versions, as ubiquitous as they are.
