    It’s debatable whether these improvements really warrant someone who’s already got FIFA 08 in their collection to hand over full price for the game, but EA aren’t worried I presume, it’ll sell like hotcakes regardless. The gameplay’s been tightened up, graphically it looks great, the Captain Your Country mode is great fun and most club and international teams are omitted. If you’re an owner of FIFA 08 and think the positives outweigh the negatives, certainly... Read more

    While I think the idea of two soccer games by the same company every year is a silly idea, there are many of you how chomp at the bit to get each and every incarnation. For you I say, UEFA EURO 2008 is the best version of soccer that EA has put up to date, and just gets me excited for what lies in store for the full game called FIFA 09 this fall! Read more

    by Jonathan Marx Has it already been four years? It seems like it was just last Summer when the Greeks shocked the Portuguese (in Portugal) and became the footballing champions of Europe. I for one will be glued to my set for the majority of the high profile fixtures, but I suppose the majority of Yanks will let this glorious tournament go by the wayside. So too shall it be with EA CANADA'S wonderful soccer title, UEFA EURO 2008. This special edition, mid-year treatment... Read more

    UEFA EURO 2008 captures the look and feel of the journey from qualification to the finals with rain and mud dynamics that impact playing conditions, real-time player ratings that change based on player performance, and a penalty kick mode that re-creates the elation and agony of a penalty shoot-out as if you were on the pitch. Experience the thrill of scoring the goal that sends your country through to the next round and then choose how to celebrate it with all-new... Read more

    Having put all the control options to manual, this plays a great flowing and dynamic game of football. A lot of variations in the types of goals you can score with build up play is a necessity, unlike fifa's of old. Obviously with the tournament having been and gone this game is probably past it's best, but a good sign for fifa 09 nonetheless! Read more

    It‘s like FIFA but better. England may be out of the tournament in this cruel world we live in but don‘t let that put you off this cracking footy game! Take on the challenge of leading one of over 50 European national teams to glory as UEFA Euro 2008 recreates all the drama and excitement of the official tournament. If you were a fan of FIFA 08 then pull up a chair and listen closely. You‘re going to love this game; largely because it‘s quite a lot like FIFA 08... Read more
