Product Information

Despite the shortfalls in the game mainly due to some bugs and limited memory on the DS card the game plays well and feels like a finished product. Virtual Pro: Live out the fantasy of being a real life footballer by creating yourself in game with a 3D head using Photo Game Face. FIFA 08 draws you deep into the action by giving you the power to tinker with every last detail of the beautiful game. defender trick system creates head-to-head battles as you move up the pitch, performing dozens of elaborate new tricks to throw the defender off-balance. Some other bugs include intervening in a game you chose to simulate and watch the minute by minute text commentary, when intervening although you play as your team, the player names and stamina bars displayed are always for the opposite team, which can be extremely confusing.

One of the issues that worries me with the DS is that large game producing companies such as EA tend to make DS games that are potentially just the GBA version with touch screen controls, again this isn’t the case. Dive attributes will determine the keepers with the ability to reach for further shots while reflex attributes determine reaction times, so a keeper like Petr Cech of Chelsea FC will be able to showcase world-class skills. Passing Manoeuvre: All-new pro passing system ensures an even more realistic game, where understriking can ruin a run and new swerve passes ensure safer play.

If you can create a team without the temptation to max out their skills or even leave them as they originally are, then you can enjoy this option as you would get great satisfaction from playing you team in career mode and trying to earn ‘Prestige’ points with them. Your attacking will be improved by smarter player runs and improved passing physics, giving you more options. FIFA 06 is presented well on the DS and feels fluid with great controls and use of the touch screen in game to assign the whole team to defend or attack.All seems to be going fairly well in your team creation even up to the point to designing what each player should look like from a selection of options including face, build, hair do’s etc. Real Madrid's Kaka will deliver crisp, creative passes, Barcelona's Andres Iniesta will utilize tighter turns and close control to dribble through defenses, Manchester United's Wayne Rooney will hold off defenders and strike shots from distance with pace, and top-flight defenders like Giorgio Chiellini of Juventus will anticipate, predict and react to offensive players to win back possession.
