FIFA Soccer 07

As frustrating as this blunder is, the improvements exclusive to this next-generation iteration will most likely make weathering the disappointment worthwhile, and online play that enables up to 8 people to take sides should be a blast.

We'll reserve final judgement until we get final code, but robust multiplayer like this could conspire with the game's top-level graphics to make the 360 version - which, you'll remember, is the only next-gen version - the definitive FIFA of this season.
