There are two ways to play. In the main game, FIFA 08 on the Wii is a truly authentic football experience with more control than ever before.

The all-new unique Footii Party with Ronaldinho mode introduces three party games featuring Ronaldinho as his own unique avatar. Play Juggling, Table Football and Boot It with your self-created Mii™ character to unlock Ronaldinho and take on the champ. Have fun and watch the meter count your calories burned.
The game’s revolutionary FreeMotion™ controls help level the playing field for all players and turns FIFA 08 on the Wii into a physical, social activity. Use motions to control everything from tackling to shooting and throw-ins to freekicks. Send the ball exactly where you intended with a wave of the Wii remote and Nunchuk. It's easy to pick-up and play and with the in-game Football Academy you can learn basic and advanced controls in more than 20 interactive tutorials. Each lesson teaches you how to master the FreeMotion controls and perform all the necessary movements to dominate on the pitch.
FIFA 08 thrusts you into the action and challenges you to play like a pro to win glory for your club. Mesmerise defenders with authentic individual skill and play like a real football player.

Intelligently manage your club by preparing for each specific opponent using new custom formations. Design your own unique strategy to create the perfect formation and tactics. Assign roles and move players to the exact position in relation to team-mates to undermine the opposition.
FIFA 08 delivers complete authenticity with licenses for all of the world’s top leagues, over 570 licensed teams and more than 14,000 players.
