Amazon.co.uk Review:
The greatest battle of the new football season is not between any real world club but between the virtual giants of FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer. Konami's game has always been the favourite but last year FIFA closed the gap to such a degree that the title race has never been closer. This year's FIFA uses a completely new game engine, for the first time built specifically for the next gen consoles. But improved graphics and animation are only the half of it, with just as much focus going on the artificial intelligence thanks to the new "35 point decision engine". What this basically means is that every player on the pitch is fully aware of those around him and constantly thinking about tactics and position when not under your control.
Other changes include better modelled physics for taking a shot on goal, which take into account everything from air pressure to the angle of your foot. You're also able to create your own special moves to replicate every possible trick from real life. There are also new game modes. On top of this there are revamped online leagues to play a virtual season in the Premier League, Bundesliga, French League or Mexican 1st Division against real opponents. With 620 licensed teams, 30 offline leagues and 15,000 players as well FIFA might just have made enough new signings this year to put it over the top.

I think my title explains FIFA 08 well. I have played FIFA since 2002 and it always has been presented well. The large amount of official teams, kits, stadiums never fails to impress, and is always an advantage over Pro Evo. Add to that a pretty good soundtrack and commentary and FIFA 08 is looking good. All of this presenation is in the PSP version, and the menus are slick, however it is the on pitch gameplay that really matters, and this is where the PSP version suffers.
Having played FIFA for years on Professional or World Class difficulty I thought it would be the same for the PSP. Not so. This game is much harder!!! To the point where it is much less fun watching your opponent keep the ball and give you no space to build an ... Read More:

Each year there is a highly publicised battle between fifa and pro evo for who has produced the best footballing game. PES had it sewn up every time up until PES 5 and fifa 2006, when Pro Evo started simply rebranding exactly the same game each year, and fifa developed and improved theirs. this trend has continued until 2007. fifa 08 is- I gather- briliant on ps2, x box, etc.- but on psp is worse than fifa 07. The gameplay is worse, the graphics are worse and only the off-the-field elements are even slightly improved. If you have a psp, get pes 2008.

The ONLY footie game to own for the diehard fan. Proevo lost it's appeal to me when I bought 07, & 08 improves the whole experience. Now adding pre-season friendles as well.
OK the keepers make Lehman style boobs on occasion, but that is realistic. You can pull off the special moves (with practice), but crossing is certainly harder. Crank up the difficulty level & enjoy a tough game of footie. As a plus you get proper leagues, Masterleague ? Pah !!

Firstly, FIFA does have some great features - competitions, player names, rivalries.
However, it's got some massive glitches and gaps.
Most annoying are the penalties given as free kicks, outside of the box. The offside and backpass rules are also a bit sketchy. Also, if you aren't a first tier team, the commmentary is pretty dull.
The game engine and AI aren't great. Runs are poor, as are through balls. Passing is ridiculous, with bad choices often being the first choise over an easy lay off.
The buttons are similar to the wholly superior PES, except for shoot/lob being reversed and the really annoying use of 'x' as 'change player' not 'default (eg. short pass/block tackle)'.
