B Ajay Krishnan  "Well The Game Is Fantastic, As Always, But There Is This One Major Feature, I Don't Know If The Feature Is Mission Or I Am Not Able To Find It, But I Used To Love Playing The Whole Season (for E.g Say Epl) Which Included The Premiership Matches And The Champions League Matches And The Fa Cup Matches All Part Of The Season."

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Josh Sutton  "Overall The Game Is Quite Enjoyable, Some Of The Commentary And Player Movements Look Quite Forced And At Times Far Too Computerized For Other Games In Comparison, It Requires Alot Of Thinking And On The Spot Decisions Which May Detract From Some Gameplayers, As An Australian I Was Really Excited To See That The A-league Was Included With The Proper Licensed Players And Teams.
One Severe Let Down Was The Player Face Templates, They Seem To Only Focus On The Really Well Known Household Names Which Is A Disappointment.
Overall It Is Nicely Fluent, Fairly Lifelike And Fun For A Kick Back.

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Jorge Lopez  "I Had To Take My Whole Review Back. See, I Actually Now Love This Game! Is So Realistic. Although, Graphics Could Be Improved And Add A Bit More Of Tactics Into The Offensive And Defensive Lines.
It Is Definetely Down To Earth. And, To Tell The Truth, I Like It Now More Than Pro Evolution Games.
You Gotta Play It To Know It."

Garvinroachford  "Personally I Am A Soccer Freak And What I Am Experiencing In This Fifa 2008 Game Is Shear Nonsense , Because Defenders Are Too Too Too Quick And Slow Defenders Always Catch Players Like Henry ,eto ,messi Just To Name A Few.and The Computer Always Has The Habit Of Dribbling Around The Ball When Nobody Is On Him,this Happened To Me And I Got Tired Of The Game And Turned It Right Off Because This Is Not Real Football. Fifa 2007 Is Far Better Than Fifa 2008.another Fault Is"

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Hai-son Nguyen  "When I Saw The Reviews Of This Game On Youtube, I Really Thought That It Was Identical To Fifa 07. From A Visual Glance I Agree, It Seems Nearly Identical. Playing The Game However, Is A Much Different Story. Fifa 08 Is Basically A Version Of 07 With All The Bugs Fixed, And Playing Strategies That Correlate Very Well With A Real Life Situation. The Players Move So Much More Realistically (even The Players Have Running/kicking/etc Postures That Are Identical To Real Life. Ie Beckhams Signature Crosses Look Very Similar To The Way He Crosses In Real Life, Peter Crouch Really Uses His Height Advantage For Headers Unlike 07 Where A 3ft Person Had The Same Height Ability As A 7ft Person. Players Psychology Is Also Incorporated Very Well In This Game. When Playing Liverpool Ull Notice Steven Gerrard Frequently Taking Long Distance Power Shots. You Will Notice Ronaldinho And Ronaldo Do Their Fancy Moves, You'll Notice Beckham Making Amazing Crosses. This Game Is Purely A Perfection Of Fifa 07, And More. You Would Think The Graphics Are The Same, But When I Tried Playing 07 2 Weeks After Playing The New 08, I Realized A Tremendous Difference. Additionally, Fifa 08 Is A Much Harder Game To Master Than 07. It Only Took Me A Week To Be Able To Play Comfortably At World Class Level In Fifa 07. It Is Now My Third Week With 08 Playing Hours Everyday And I Am Still Losing At Least 50% Of My Games Playing Professional (even With Their Goalie Set At Amateur!).

With The Game Engine That Ea Sports Have Used For This Game, I Believe That It Has Reached Its Point Of Saturation. I Expect Fifa 09 To Be Something Special, A Transition Much More Dynamic Than From Fifa 07 To 08. In My Opinion, The Ps2 Is Getting Old, And The Graphics On The Ps2 Is Probably At Its Limit Now. Get The Ps3 And Take Advantage Of Its Superior Gameplay/graphics, Or Get The Pc Version Of The Game, Ensuring Your Pc Is Top Notch. In My Opinion, The Fifa 09 Version On Ps2 Will Simply Be Similar, With Minor Improvements And Simply Changes In The Players' Stats And Teams."

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Mninawa Daweti  "I Had Hoped That There Would Be More Changes Between Fifa Ea Games (btwn 2006, 2007 And 2008) Especially When It Comes To Commentary. Although The Game Controls Have Changed Between 2007 And 2008 I Still Feel Like I Am Playing The Same Game Of 2007 When In Fact I Am Playing 2008. Thanks For Changing The Spectator Noises Between Different Venues. I Would Not Expect To Hear The Same Clear Songs Sung In Old Trafford When In Fact I Am Playing At Sansiro."

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Jesper Simonsen  "It Will Be Much More Sweet To Win An Tournement, If Your Captain Lift The Trophy, Off The Tournement You Have Won, Like In Fifa World Cup.

The Trophy " The English Cup" It Is Wrong, It Should Be The Fa Cup.. The Oldest Cup In The World. Your Grapfich Of The Trophy Is Not Right.

If You Make Any Changes In Your Career Mode, Like Another Shirt To Your Team, And Another Player,you Can Only Do It In "play Now" Modes,ore Change The Look Of A Player, Why Cant You Do It During Your Career Of 15 Years."
