FIFA Soccer 08

Having just finished reviewing the impressive Xbox 360 version of FIFA 08, I couldn’t wait to try the PSP version. While it isn’t anywhere near the improvement of the 360, it still packs quite a punch. There is always room for improvement, but overall FIFA 08 is a real kick in the grass.

Un peu juste en termes de sensations footballistiques, cet opus PSP brille finalement davantage par ses exclusivités de contenu que par son gameplay, un brin vieillot. Si les Ligues Interactives assurent l'intérêt de cette simple mise à jour, il faudra un peu plus d'efforts aux développeurs pour ne pas lasser les joueurs PSP en 2008.

EA is good at what it does and offers a solid title to soccer fans with their release of Fifa 08. The gameplay mechanics, audio and graphics all give the player a satisfying experience while playing. In addition, the extra modes such as the trivia game Football IQ, a tournament mode as well as various challenge modes extend the gameplay and give you something to do besides just play soccer against the computer. The inclusion of a multiplayer mode further extends the life of this title by allowing you to play against friends or newly met players through the EA game servers. Even if you are not much for sports titles, it is hard to deny that this game has a lot going for it. And while the learning curve can be a bit steep, even a casual gamer should find their time playing enjoyable.
