Real Football 2008

Downloaded by millions of gamers around the world and widely considered as being the definitive football game for mobile devices, Real Football 2008 comes to Nintendo DS. With its instant accessibility, Real Football 2008 lets anyone who loves the beautiful game, regardless of their skill level, set the field on fire with dribbles, lollipos, step-overs, set pieces and spectacular goals. Play in lovingly-rendered stadiums, take on players with true-to-life characteristics, and act just like a real player as you shout into the DS microphone to influence the referee's decisions.

Real Football 2008 makes some big claims, that's for sure. European football stars Patrick Vieira and Carles Puyol are the cover stars, and the game (for a portable console, naturally) thankfully lives up to the hype. There is a selection of competitions to go at, such as Cup and League seasons. Training sessions are optional, and advisable too, if you want to succeed. The options even include the opportunity to tamper with team strategy and tactics. Real Football indeed, and in the palm of your hand too.
