Details on how you will play the Wii version of FIFA 08 have surfaced. Read all about it inside...

EA have released details on the Wii version of FIFA 08, including how you will be playing the game. Forget the old rumours about EA working on some kind of foot strap for the Remote - you control this games with your hands.

The game has changed the camera from the common left-to-right gameplay, and instead have given us a bottom-to-top viewpoint, similar to Sensible Soccer. This is to make the controls feel easier to perform. Flick the Remote left or right to pass the ball left or right, and pull it up hard and fast to shoot at the ball - the harder you move the Remote, the more power the ball has. During a free kick, the angle the nunchuck gives the ball relevant spin. Throw-ins are done by holding the Remote and Nunchuck above your head and making a throwing motion. The Wii version also allows you to control your goalkeeper directly during the game.

The Wii version will also contain various mini-games which utilise Miis, including a Table Football game, and use the Remote in different ways. The game will also contain an online mode, complete with leaderboards and online tournaments. It also has online updates in the form of team roster updates.

FIFA 08 is due out this September.
