SUMMARY:
In FIFA 08 the bases of the game is to beat the other team in a soccer match. The goal at the game is to be victorious and win the English Cup, your league cup, also other sorts of championships for the club to win. You can make trades, and training schedules in order for your team to win and prevail over other teams.

GAMEPLAY:
My opinion on this game is that it's very cool. I know that is childish to say but it really is. This game is letting the gamer and the characters on the game interact in many ways. This game makes me feel like I am actually a manager and lets me control eveything as if it were the real thing.

In the beginning of FIFA 08 it was very hard and frustrating. I got irratated very easily because the controls were sensitive and the computers A.I. would not let up that easy for me to break the lines. On top of that it was very hard to score. It took me a day after i bought the game to actually score! But my emotions were raging because I felt as if it were cheating and I would constantly yell at my PSP and tell it to "COME ON" or "YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!" But after I played for hours and hours I finally got the game style down and was ready to take on the game. When I finally won it was awesome.

My thoughts on the characters of the game were realistic. The characters interact with each other really well. For instance whenever i would score a goal the rest of the team would run up and grab him and cheer and do celebration dances. I found that to be realistic and awesome, because when I watch soccer games in real life they do the exact same things. Also what I thought was pretty cool on the characters was when I was in the Juggling mode of the game; which is where any character of the game is able to do soccer tricks. Well The charcter keeps its eyes on the ball the whole time and is watching it go up and down. Also when he kicks the ball you can see where the foot hits the ball and it really matters to where you hit it at. Also the higer profile players are better than the lower profile players. also when you are in manager mode the higher profile players cost a whole bunch of money unlike the lower profile players, just like in real life.

But this game is good. I like it and I recommend this game for sports gamers who play soccer. Also on this game you can play online. Sinice the psp is wireless and if there is a Wi Fi around than you can get online and play fellow teams with your club a.k.a soccer team. But this game is awesome and im going to keep playing it until something better comes along.

Good entry! In depth analysis and good review for the gameplay. Your design section is the only thing I could even think to ask you to improve on, just add more about how the game works, like how the characters are controlled.
