James's review - By: , 31 Aug 2008 
I thought fifa 08 was a great game. The psp had great graphics & that is very good for a football game.It was a great game because it has lots of modes & things to do! I the challenge mode there are lots of challenges to go through & best of all you can do lots of things with the points you earn for completing a challenge. In manager mode you get lots of games & get to change players & formation & lots more. You can change the difficulty the camera view bookings injeries & offside. I think this was a good use of my time
Pro evo shouldn't be on the shelves with this out. - By: Mr. N. Birtwistle, 07 Jun 2008 Fifa is a fantastic game just to limited with what you can do it's like a shortened version of playstation & x-box FIFA!
Solid Presentation. Flawed Gameplay. - By: P.Davey, 31 Mar 2008 
I think my title explains FIFA 08 well. I have played FIFA since 2002 & it always has been presented well. The large amount of official teams, kits, stadiums never fails to impress, & is always an advantage over Pro Evo. Add to that a pretty good soundtrack & commentary & FIFA 08 is looking good. All of this presenation isin the PSP version, & the menus are slick, however it is the on pitch gameplay that really matters, & this is where the PSP version suffers.
Having played FIFA for years on Professional or World Class difficulty I thought it would be the same for the PSP. Not so. This game is much harder!!! To the point where it is much less fun watching your opponent keep the ball & give you no space to build an attack. Even getting towards the goal to have a shot is a struggle- & onlyin Semi Pro mode!
FIFA 08's graphics are not too great, & that's expected for a portable game. The textures are grainy & the players themselves do not have the detail of console versions, but its still fairly good. The controls are the same as any PS2 FIFA, & you can assign movement to analog or directional buttons which is good, but I think when playing itself the controls are too sensitive.
There are some extras on the PSP version like mini games & a trivia quiz & these are pretty good, although after a few tries you'll want to head back to the pitch.
So FIFA 08 for the PSP is a good scaled down version of the console game, with all the official licenses available, but I think the gameplay is way too hard which hurts the experience. I don't think FIFA or Pro Evo has made a fantastic portable version, so I would say it's just down to personal choice.
A Real Disappointment - By: The Meister, 06 Jan 2008 
Each year there is a highly publicised battle between fifa & pro evo for who has produced the best footballing game. PES had it sewn up every time up until PES 5 & fifa 2006, when Pro Evo started simply rebranding exactly the same game each year, & fifa developed & improved theirs. this trend has continued until 2007. fifa 08 is- I gather- briliant on ps2, x box, etc.- but on psp is worse than fifa 07. The gameplay is worse, the graphics are worse & only the off-the-field elements are even slightly improved. If you have a psp, get pes 2008.
FIFA Rocks - PROEVO Sucks - By: J3B, 01 Dec 2007 The ONLY footie game to own for the diehard fan. Proevo lost it's appeal to me when I bought 07, & 08 improves the whole experience. Now adding pre-season friendles as well.
OK the keepers make Lehman style boobs on occasion, but that is realistic. You can pull off the special moves (with practice), but crossing is certainly harder. Crank up the difficulty level & enjoy a tough game of footie. As a plus you get proper leagues, Masterleague ? Pah !!
