A very thorough preview of Winning Eleven 8
is up at Next Level Gaming. Screenshots and videos await you at the link (including a video that loads immediately,
consider yourself warned), and some in-depth coaching on how to play the game. Some of it is obviously aimed at those
relatively new to soccer, since it explains the different offensive formations. But that's a good thing, as it might
bring a new fan into the beautiful game, and that's always welcome.
I only recently picked up Winning Eleven 7 for the PS2, and it plays one heck of a game of soccer/football. (Delete as
applicable to where you are.) The one thing lacking, sadly, is the all encompassing licenses that its rival FIFA Soccer
enjoys(*). Winning Eleven is still worth your time though as it gets it all right where it counts. Gameplay.
