Going to start this as basic and add to it with time, but wanted to give an idea of what was in store for the achievement hunters out there. Take this as a review to "Should I start the game?", and slightly the content in the game (it is a soccer/football game...you should get the idea of the story line, haha)
1) The look and feel of the game
I haven't played many other soccer games, but this one has a great look to it. My parents came down to visit one day while I was playing this. My mom doesn't see many xbox games but when she walked in the door she thought it was an actual world cup game on TV. That should give you a slight idea that it doesn't look bad.
The control and feel though leaves a little to be desired. I don't think the AI in this game included much "I" with their "A". Examples are leaving players uncovered and not helping if you get burnt. They do a good job of getting to the ball on offense except for with through passes.
2) Achievements...
NOT for the faint of heart. While MOST of these achievements are not INCREDIBLY hard, most are difficulty specific and some (the 10 challenge levels) are tough and involve a lot of grinding. I am done with 10 of 15 levels on the 1st challenge, and 2 of them so far have had me play 6-7 matches to beat it...that is about 3 hours for just 2 of 15 segments!!! Each challenge after the 1st is near 10 game situations long. There is a good listing in each of the solutions for what to expect there.
Overall...it is a tough one...this is not a game that people just forgot about causing high TAs...it is a tough and grinding game to complete, especially the online segment.
So far, all the onlines are still available.minus one
The Real World achievement in FIFA 08 worth 27 pointsAs the Lead Profile, Play an Online Interactive Leagues game to completion
so you will not be able to get 100% on this game any longer either.
