Get closer to the action than ever before by mastering the skills required to play like a real professional football player in FIFA 08. With the usual slick presentation and infinitely customizable options, Pro Evo 2008 is really gonna have to go some in order to top FIFA 08. It's an interesting experience that gives you the opportunity to prove how good you really are at the game and develop your skills as an individual player. The so-called "Be A Pro: Co-op Season" mode sees you create your own player profile, then play just as that player for the season in a team with your pals, or with others online. The management mode from the previous version stays, and FIFA 08 has introduced a new feature that I've been wanting from a football game for a long time. Always having the benefit of licensing on its side, FIFA 08 has a staggering 620 teams from 30 leagues, and a total of more than 1,500 real players at your disposal.

The graphics are smooth, detailed and well animated and the commentary and crowd effects make it seem just like you're watching it on telly. FIFA 08's gameplay is more fluid than ever and thanks to some tweaks to the shooting mechanism, defending pressure, player attributes and even the influence of air pressure, it's now a very realistic simulation of the beautiful game.
