Advantages: Good game to play with your mates!

Disadvantages: Not for the ladies

First things first, soccer is not soccer, it's football. For the rest of this review every time you see the word football - and this only applies to Americans, the rest of the world will already know what I'm talking about - I'm actually talking about soccer. The last few entries in EA Sports' FIFA series have been some of the best football that we've seen as far as last-gen goes. The gameplay was as sharp as a knife, the graphics were - well, they were PS2 graphics but still held their own. Heck, the games came as close as any EA football effort has to equaling the glory of Winning Eleven 9. Is FIFA 08 the game to bring down Konami's run of supremacy? Read on to find out.

Unlike the current-gen alternative, FIFA 08 on PS2 does not feel like a slightly undercooked game that could have been great. What gamers will find on their aging Sony platform is a football title that has all of its ducks in a row with features to spare. Remember how current-gen users got a Be a Pro Mode that only allowed you to play in one game with only one human player taking part? Well, on the PS2 you can create your own all-star hopeful with three of your friends and bring them through an entire season, improving your attributes all along the way. You won't find the same repositioned camera angle and stylish icons that pop up to make the experience a bit more all-encompassing, but it's still fun nonetheless. Even if you can't take it online, it's still nice to be able to play an entire season with your buddies.

Summary: Overall a good game!
