FIFA 08

The biggest complaint about EA's FIFA franchise has been the absymal controls. Well, thanks to the Wii, those days are long over. Tricks and skills involve simple flicks of the controls instead of complicated late 80s Street Fighter type moves, and furthermore, things are no longer based on the perspective of the player in-game. Swinging the remote to the right ALWAYS means right, regardless of player facing or camera angle. Though Wii controls can be intimidating to those of us raised on control pads, everything is intuitive. Plus, FIFA 08 includes a nice tutorial / training feature that explains things so simply and easily that even an Xbox 360 fan could understand.

It is true that FIFA 08 on the Wii does not include a manager mode. The reason is quite simply that this game is meant to be PLAYED. The Wii has established itself as the ultimate party console, and now FIFA 08 is the ultimate footy arcade game. There are a number of highly sophisticated manager sims out there. This game is for those of us who want to dive on to the pitch and hear the roar of the crowd instead of sit in a boardroom and count our pounds or euros.

Backyard Soccer 2004

My 11 and 6 year old both love this game. We had the old one but it kept closing down on the computer. This one doesn't have that problem. They just love having a major league player on the team as well. Keeps them happy and busy, so I have to limit their time playing.

Worldwide Soccer Manager 2008

Having played this series since the end of the previous century, this version is the best yet. For long time fans, there have been plenty of tweaks and additions to make the game that much more addictive and consuming. For virtual newbies, the game may at first seem daunting in its complexity. Fear not, SI has your back. This year they've included a tutorial to help get your feet wet. They also got a new assistant function that will give you context sensitive suggestions. Once you've got your bearing, it becomes a bit like the Microsoft Office Paper Clip. Fortunately, it's a feature easily turned off.

In general, the game play is fantastic. All the aspects of an international career in management are present. You've got your first team, your reserve squad and a youth set-up. You train your players to keep them fit and make them better. You design your tactics the way YOU want your team to play. Then you set them loose on game day to watch them ignore your best laid plans and get trounced.

PES 2008 is long awaited in North America, but now that it's here we can enjoy the finest edition of this long running series on PS2. Everything that was in PES 6 is still here plus the addition of new community and world tour modes. The network service is up and running (since 03/13/08) and it's very easy to find a game against an online opponent, and as long as you pay attention to the connection quality (and only play opponents with 2 bars or more) then it will be very smooth and enjoyable. So in summary, despite the next-gen systems having better graphics, the PS2 game is the better overall experience hands down.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008

This game is truly revolutionary. I am a football nut and watch the games on Setanta all week long. The Wii interface is a dream come true. You can control players off the ball with ease, and strategically control a match. Passing all over the field is as easy as pointing the cursor on-screen. Defending is much more about controlling the gaps, and man-marking rather than button-smashing. Corners and set pieces are brilliant as you send players on runs to draw away defenders and then sneak in a fullback at the last moment for a free header.

Seriously, this game is the best thing to happen to football games in a long time. Fifa/W11 are just graphical improvements one year over next ad nauseum. They can't touch the change in gameplay that we have here in the Wii version.

FIFA 08

This is a thoroughly enjoyable video game, and the Manager's Mode, which I'll be reviewing, is even more addictive (and time-consuming, but in a good way). This game features more than 15,000 players in 30 officially licensed leagues around the world. The manager mode allows the player to take over a club and guide its fortunes on and off the pitch to almost the tiniest details. You have to worry about training your players, keeping them fit, and ensuring that you have sufficient success to meet the board's expectations or else you'll get the boot. The best thing I like about this particular game mode is the ability to scout for new young talent or develop it in your own youth academy and then put them on the pitch to see if they can play with the big boys. I highly recommend this game to anyone who really enjoys soccer as it'll provide hours and hours of entertaining fun.
