If I had to describe FIFA 08 in two words, it would be stunning and difficult. The game looks great, I knew that going in. The big question here is the gameplay. Every year they promise that it will get better, and this year… inconclusive. You only get a 4 minute half. For the size of the demo, about 700 mb, I don’t know where it all went. The game is smooth, but playing FIFA is a lot like chess. You need strategy. You cannot dribble through everyone or just blast the ball downfield. They game has a ton of promise. I need to play a full version before I can get a decent feel for it. A very cool caveat is that you can play 1 v1 against the goalie in between halves and while the game loads. Very cool.
