Also featured is the first-ever on-screen referee in the history of the series. The game introduces a wealth of new moves and tricks including new free kick and penalty kick techniques, an innovative indirect free kick move and a new dribbling system that offers more control as gamers go one-on-one and try to pass opposing players. Featuring 136 club teams and 57 national teams, Winning Eleven 8 offers gamers control of up to 4,500 of the world's greatest soccer players. The game now features all the teams from the Italian, Spanish and Dutch leagues under the official license. These were awesome moments.Winning Eleven 8 once again raises the bar with in-depth gameplay, improved realism and increased control. I let an innocent guy die, because I really didn't want to use my last bullet to save him. When I was in a tight spot and badly wounded I had to eat some human meat to survive. I have to put the guy with the gun down right away, and if I don't intimidate the other two right away, before they can scoop up his pistol, I'm done for. And made every fight a tough tactical battle. You essentially cannot beat two opponents if you are out of ammo and there isn't a cliff or a fire around. Good: Many people will probably detest the combat.

I wish that problems could be approached from many different angles, instead of essentially one angle of attack.

Bad: There are occasional moments of frustration with gameplay.

But it honestly looks pretty damn good for an arcade title. Are the graphics great compared to a regular 60$ xbox title? No. But it honestly looks pretty damn good For a 15$ game it is outstanding.
