I dont think this is an improvement to Fifa 07 in terms of gameplay.The accuracy sucks because of which it is a herculean task to score a goal.At first I thought it was the hang over of moving from a PC gamepad to an xbox controller(I bought a 360 recently).But after playing Fifa 07 on the xbox 360(gift from a friend) I believe that it is miles better than Fifa 08. The action is faster in Fifa 07 and you really feel as if your in the game whilst Fifa 08 has a slower gameplay which may make it more realistic, but less entertaining.EA has taken a step back in my opinion with this game (contrary to the gamespot review).
In terms of graphics, Fifa 08 outshines Fifa 07 and that is the only bright spot in otherwise what is a poor follow up to Fifa 07. The players seem to be a lot more crisper in 08 than 07.
Some seasoned players might argue that it is much more realistic but I don't buy that. It is the case similar to when PES5 came out for the PC which was a disaster as far as scoring goals... and the referee wasn't kind either.There was a big debate about it amongst the players.
For people looking to buy this game I suggest they better try it first by renting it.
