Fifa 08 Preview June 9, 2007

We now have our first installment of the Fifa series on the world renown Nintendo Wii.
It features intuitive wii remote controls, online gameplay, and use of the simple mii’s.
1up got a hold of an early copy and had these comments to say and I quote: What we did find was that soccer on Wii is a pretty fun time. The game is built on FIFA’s PS2 engine, which has plenty of holes in its A.I. Lucky for us, those flaws helped us acclimate ourselves to using the Remote’s motion controls to pass, shoot, and boot long crosses. How the gameplay holds up in the long run, of course, has yet to be seen, but you shoot the ball with a sort of kicking motion: yank the Wii Remote up to hammer the ball. The harder you do it, the more power you get…and the higher chance you have of blasting the power meter over the bar, so it’s all about moderation. And we love the free kick system, where the angle of the Nunchuck dictates the spin and bend of the ball.
