 UEFA Euro 2008 for ps3 November 3, 2008

I have 2002 and 2006 fifa world, played fifa 2008 and bought this UEFA Euro 2008 from amazon like 5 months ago and let me tell this is the best soccer game i ever had and played. I would recommend it to everyone who likes good soccer games and also good graphics.
excellent soccer, beautiful graphics June 24, 2008
Zingo (Hamden, CT United States)
This is another title in the series from EA, I like the graphics and the controls are easy to use. There's a learning curve, but the more you play this title the more you want to go back and challenge it.
the commentary lags the action and needs some tweaking. Close up graphics are better than competitors but can also still use some improvement.
(it's much better to watch gameplay from a zoomout position)
Overall, fun to play and way ahead of PES 2008 (which was a very disappointing purchase).
Quite Good May 31, 2008

Probably they still use the same Engine as in Fifa 2008 but it's easy to score goal with compare to FIFA 2008. I also observed some changes in free kick in which you can kick the ball in a curved fashion, without the ball being kicked over the wall (side curved). Changes were made in penalty as well, the way it looks. Unlike previous FIFA version, penalty looks side view and looks like an actual match.
Captain your Country Feature has been added, in which you will have to become a captain for a country and win the game as to proceed into the next level.
All are countries and there is no Club teams. Spain, France, Italy, England and Germany are the top teams.
Best Next Gen Football Game Ever May 30, 2008
Ryan A. Walker
Best next gen football/soccer game ive ever played. Better than FIfa 08 and PES 2008 - fluid game play, faster than Fifa 08 and better use of the through ball. the commentary, graphics and all the small details EA pay attention to are amazing in this game. I was a PES fan but this game is way better than Pro Evo. If fifa 09 plays like this game Konami are going to be in trouble
Fun Game better graphics than fifa 2008 May 28, 2008

This one is a lot of fun. I love Fifa 2008 and PES 2008, but this one has better graphics than Fifa 2008 and a slicker menu system. I think the difficulty settings are not as good as PES 2008 though and the crowd graphics in PES are much better than the EA games, with the drawback being the licensed clubs being limited in PES.
If you enjoyed either Fifa or PES you'll like this one, but of course it's just Euro Cup national teams and thus not worth full price by any means. I don't like the marketing gimmick of coming out with titles just for specific tournaments but at the full price, get this when it's at half price as that's more indicative of the value. If you want all the licensed leagues there's nothing better than Fifa, you can create tournaments there as well, but World Cup is not a set tournament nor is Euro Cup or Champions League, etc. out of the box. I recommend this one at half price due to it just being Euro Cup.
