An amazing game... far superior to PES :) cant wait to play fifa 09

Definately worth £18 but euro 08 was brill. So judging by ea improvements maybe fifa 09 will be amazing. Fingers crossed.

I love this game but for some reason it doesnt feel right. Its really slow and sometimes the first touch is appauling and the defenders can easily muscle you off the ball. Online the game is brilliant with little lag (even less on 360) and it is a better game on ps3. Cant wait for 09, loads of stuff will be sorted and as this years it will be better than pro evo which is hideous online and nothing like real football.

This game is not that good. The tournements are rubbish, you dont even see the celebration of the cup after winning.

Go away and buy PES 2008/PES 2009.

I have played every fifa since Fifa 98 road to world cup and i have to say this is by far the best one to ever come out. Ever since FIFA 2004 which i thought was the poorest of the lot since 98, i thought that i would never waste my money again until i borrowed 07 of a mate and thought that they had improved it a lot over the 3 years, which led me to pre ordering this one.

Between the years i didnt own a copy of fifa i turned into a big PES fan and thought that i would never buy fifa again, PES6 was by far the best footy game i played and i dont like to say it but is by far the best footy game i have played still to this day. When i brought PES for the PS3 i thought if FIFA was this good then PES must be amazing but it turned out that it would only just manage a 3star rating because it seemed that all the fun had been wiped out of the game and that they had lost what made PES 6 so special and that was the smoothness of the gameplay and how well it flowed no matter what was happening on the pitch.

To me now FIFA 08 gives me the footy excitment i want from a game eventhough i still play my PES6 which to me is unbeatable for a footy game and still brings me more enjoyment then FIFA 08 but the graphics bit i am struggling to handle on the game because it was for the PS2.

FIFA was the original footy game to play until PES game along and took over but only for a few years before FIFA became the better game on the PS3 and now it is time for PES to try and step up and take back its place on top of the footy gaming world, however, they have a lot to do to manage this and if the next FIFA is going to be as good as what is being said about it, then there is no chance that this will happen.

If you are going to buy this game so late this is a good price for it but i would suggest just waiting for the FIFA 09 to come out on 3rd October.

hope this helps

Fifa will always be compared to PES after PES 5 & 6 set the standard. Since then FIFA have closed the gap, especially on the new gen systems. And this maybe true here. But this doesn't do enough to take the lead. There are allot of new nice things ie one player career and the online leagues. But the same game problems exist. The ball is attached to the players and not controlled by them like PES. The game at times plays like old EA ice hockey games not like footy.

And who cares about the teams kits. Footy is about football not T-Shirts.

PES won't have to work hard to stay ahead of this.

fifa 08 is a complete turn around to the other fifas. the gameplay is outstanding and extremley real. be a pro mode is good but is lacking movement and ideas. the online play will see yourself waste hours of fun playing against mixed opponents.

I was excited for days when I preordered this game. It came a day before release day which I didn't understand but I played it before most other people so I was happy. For about a week I was hooked but then it just got boring. The thing to do with this game is play it, then stop and wait for about 2 weeks and then play it again. Then it won't get boring. Still so much better than pro evo. I don't understand why people buy pro evo, it doesn't even have real teams.

If you prefer the look and sound of football then go for this. gameplay then pro evo wins hand's down as it has done since SNES/Mega Drive days

For years and years, i have been a Pes Man. To be hones,t who aint? But this year, All the hype over Pes being next gen, but it is terrible compared to Fifa. Look at the graphics on pro, the pitch looks like ones off world cup games from Mega drive lol. Fifa has owned it this year, impressive looks, loads of things to do and very realistic.There are two down sides, formation settings as in changin where players rand what they do is complicated and long process, And also when players recieve balls, they are often slow to get it under control. But Fifa will hopfully work on that on 09! I will still buy both as i have done this year but im hoping both games have me fighting over which one to play
