FIFA 08 challenges players to master the skills required to play like a professional football player. Fans around the world can experience the same highs and lows of real-world players and tackle the challenges they face on a daily basis. Players are now aware of their surroundings, reacting authentically to threats and opportunities to make intelligent decisions. Now with the FIFA 08 shooting system you can enjoy even more control and precision in front of the goal to become a true marksman.

For the first time ever, fans playing FIFA 08 will face the pressure to improve their game that real-world players endure every day. A new play mode called 'Be A Pro' locks you in the role of a single player and challenges you to master the same disciplines as a real professional player-from positioning and tackling to reading the field and passing. FIFA 08 now gives every football fan the chance to perform pro skills with a true next-generation organic 'building-block' system. You can combine tricks and skill moves together to recreate signature moves from the real-world superstars or define your own style of play.

In addition, FIFA 08 is dramatically more real and exhilarating with the inclusion of 620 licensed teams, 30 official leagues, and more than 15,000 players.

Great game I can't stop playing it!I have never played fifa 07 so I can't say it's better or worse.The only thing im not happy woth is where is the champions league? And the uefa cup? And Euro 2008? And the World cup? And why don't you get to play as international teams? And where are is divisions 1,2, and 3? The rest of the game is great though great graphics great gameplay great manager mode and great multiplayer.It just needs a bit more leagues and tournaments and internaional teams then it would be the best footie game ever!

Apart from the new controls the graphics for this game are basically the same as the ones on Fifa 07, also the game modes are basically the same, excluding the introduction of the Irish and Australian leagues!!! (said sarcastically)

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Good game, but not anything special

I bought this game hoping for something even better than Fifa 06 & 07, but I was slightly disappointed. The graphics may be slighty better, but nothing too great. The difference between easy and semi pro mode is so extensive it's unbelievable. Still a good game at £15, even though not much change from previous games.
