FIFA 08 (PS3)
The greatest battle of the new football season is not between any real world club but between the virtual giants of FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer. Konami’s game has always been the favourite but last year FIFA closed the gap to such a degree that the title race has never been closer. This year’s FIFA uses a completely new game engine, for the first time built specifically for the next gen consoles. But improved graphics and animation are only the half of it, with just as much focus going on the artificial intelligence thanks to the new “35 point decision engine”. What this basically means is that every player on the pitch is fully aware of those around him and constantly thinking about tactics and position when not under your control.
Other changes include better modelled physics for taking a shot on goal, which take into account everything from air pressure to the angle of your foot. You’re also able to create your own special moves to replicate every possible trick from real life. There are also new game modes including Be A Pro which challenges you to play the role of a single player through a whole season or career. On top of this there are revamped online leagues to play a virtual season in the Premier League, Bundesliga, French League or Mexican 1st Division against real opponents. With 620 licensed teams, 30 offline leagues and 15,000 players as well FIFA might just have made enough new signings this year to put it over the top.

Customer Review: Fifa v pro evo
as a pro evolution soccer fan i was disspointed with this years version so i went out and bought fifa.
It isnt as bad as you think, it doesnt seem to be so arcade style football.
still pro evo is better.
Customer Review: it will fool you for a while
well firts of all ive played all the fifa games since 99 for the ps1 and have always played on the hardest difficulty. this is the best but it’s still rubbish. you’ll be fooled for about a week on how great the gameplay is but after a while you just get annoyed. the way the players move is graet but theyve forgotten about everything else. your goalkeeper is still slow to react and ive experienced keepers coming out to head the ball in their box! what is with that. you now have great skills to be used but u have to perform them way before you come to a defender as they’ll just slide tackle you. when you go to slide tackle they just turn around and you end up giving a foul away! also as the difficulty is increased the opponents dont just play better as you’d expect they become freaks. you can hardly tackle them, even though players are given ratings their just thrown out the window as they become amzing at everything. you could play as barcalona against hull city and hulls players would be faster, have quicker reactions, stronger, better goalscorers etc etc. its just unreal. you want them to be a better team like better passing and better quality shots and crosses but its just taking too far! like most sporting games you’ll get bored with it after a month. waste of money. this will be the last sport game i buy! buy call of duty 4!!!

Customer Review: Review based on Japanese Import of GT5 Prologue
Having bought the PS3 on launch i have had my moments of extreme doubt when i came to its purchase. However with Uncharted and now this, i am in love with the PS3. (And i can use the 5 disc Blade Runner blu ray as its an open region disc)I also have a 360 and love both machines. However the standard of the graphics and photo realistic graphics really make me wonder if the 360 could match it. Everytime i fire this up it amazes me. A solid 60fps, excellent rumble (i imported a dualshock 3 too and it works 100%) and thank the Lord, an in car view option!! Negotiating the mostly Japanese menus is a pain at times but the level of detail especially on the London and Nordwand levels (flowers by the roadside??)is incredible. Watching the replay on an HDTV screen is jaw dropping. Unless you are a car nut and GT fan then wait for the UK release. It really is awesome, and will sate my appetite until the full blown GT 5 appears later this year. Now if i can just work out the best way to a Ferrari 599…..
Customer Review: Review by GT 3 and 4 world record holder (at a few tracks)
Dont comment on a new game unless you’ve played it. GT HD is NOT the same as GT5 prolouge. Ive have all the gt series and have played both the free HD demo and gt5 prolouge, using the df pro wheel and now with the g25 wheel. This prolouge is very good compared to gt3 ( GT4 physics are a joke ) but is too expensive, it is only a taster for gt5 and should be at least half the asking price. Dont listen to anyone saying it feels arcade like,the games physics are a massive improvement on gt4 and a quantum leap over anything the x box has to offer in the driving genre.

Customer Review: What has Sega done?
This has to be one of the worst games ever for the PS3.A child of 10 will find it boring after about an hour.The controls lack the direct response we have come to expect for modern games, and the so called puzzles needed to pass to progress the story are so easy that I wonder why they are even there.The graphics are very poor and the PS3’s capabilities are totally wasted This is just a game produced to make money on the back of a well advertised film which I have not seen and will not see due to this awful game having put me off. Save your money with this game and buy something decent. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Customer Review: Poor, not worth all the hype
Good graphics all round. What spoils the game is the very poor camera angles, you cant see what the cahracters are looking direclt at, so when jumping onto platforms, you often miss the target, The puzzles to solve the answers on the compass are so difficult to work out, since when was a snake ‘cunning’? Very poor game
