FIFA 08 (RIPPED)
Everyone knows there are two types of gamer - those that love that Pro Evolution Soccer, and those that prefer FIFA. Until recently, I'd have told you that those in the latter camp are a bunch of idiots who don't know anything about either computer games or football. Since the last couple of releases of the EA game though, I've shocked myself by becoming increasingly impressed with FIFA (largely because it's becoming more like Pro Evo, I would argue). The ubiquitous update for the 2007-08 season is by far the best release to date and it seems that the game has finally come of age.
The 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. 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 has always had the benefit of licencing on its side and this year there are a staggering 620 teams from 30 leagues, and a total of more than 1,500 real players at your disposal.
The management mode from the previous version stays, and now EA has introduced a new feature that I've been wanting from a football game for a long time. 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. 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.
With the usual slick presentation and infinitely customisable options, Pro Evo 2008 is really gonna have to go some in order to top FIFA 08.
