PC Fifa Soccer 08 Review
http://www.swiftworld.net

Just not too long ago in 2006 did EA Sports released an outstanding sports title Fifa 07. Many regarded it as a great improvement from Fifa 06 and that EA finally decided to improve its soccer games. With that said, Fifa 08 was just released a few days back and the claims made simply sounds majestic. Fifa 08 aims to give users better gaming experience as well as trying to fascinate players with its next-generation graphics. However, is that enough to impress the fans and players? Or is it simply a failure? I will give you my comments on the PC version of Fifa Soccer 08 as well as what I think about the console versions (I did not play them, just saw it through trailers etc).

I would like to repeat once more that I will be giving you my review based on the PC version and not the next-gen consoles (PS3 and Xbox360). You will know why I strongly emphasize this at the end of the review. If you have been reading my blog, you might notice that I gave my thoughts on the PC Fifa Soccer 08 demo version. And my thoughts were completely negative and not a single praise has been added. Then and there I also stated how much I longed for the be-a-pro mode and I can finally try it out as I finish installing my Fifa 08 game.

Presentation
Like always, sleek menus, easily navigated. I always have no problems with EA Sports games. Nothing much to comment about the presentation of the game.

Graphics
Fifa 07 previous generation graphics. That basically sums everything up. Nope, do not expect the graphics to be what you see on the gameplay trailers nor the screenshots put up at several gaming portals. Those screenshots and video clips belongs to the Xbox360 and PS3 versions, not the PC. What you see in the demo, is what you get. Nothing less, nothing more. I would not complain much as such graphics ought to be what people call average, but what disgusts me is how unchanged they were from Fifa 07. The stadiums, pitches and players have the same original details as of Fifa 07. I actually thought the demo was just rushed out thus giving the poor graphics display etc, but the sad truth is that no EA Sports meant the graphics to be that way; exactly how it was in the demo. Horrible, simply horrible. I know by now many Fifa fans would be cursing my arse for such horrible and negative comments on their beloved game, but guess what, just accept the fact that EA did not care much about we PC users/fans/players. With all that
