Damn the demo is awful.

Some times it changes screen and the players disappear for a split second. Haven't seen anything like it.

Thanks again EA for milking peoples love of soccer.

Harry1905874d ago

sure the demo is so awful?
or do you simply not like the series?

Sheddi5874d ago

Actually I enjoyed the demo

masterg5874d ago

I'm sure I don't like the demo.

Nothing new in the last 5 years in the series.
Graphics and frame rate was awful, and with the latest added playing going on screen a split second after the background is added is absolutely awful.

Love soccer, but the general improvement in soccer games in the last years have been close to nothing at all.

Or do those look absolutely nothing like them? Maybe next time they should use a picture when creating player models, rather than doing it from memory?

Milky5874d ago

the skin tone is completely wrong on all of them apart from the last one where the footballer looks extremely ill.

Iamback5874d ago

All players in PRO EVO look ugly, dont know the reason

Extra Guy5874d ago

why were the pictures so pixelated?

nbsmatambo5874d ago

Perhaps Ea sucks at modeling, they should take lessons from GT5p

UEFA Euro 2008 (Xbox 360) Review (from Platformnation.com)

UEFA Euro 2008 does a great job of bringing together the technical preciseness and fun of a real soccer game like no soccer game before it. Being able to control almost all the action, and feeling like scoring a goal is a true accomplishment, comes across immediately. If you're a fan of the beautiful game, or even if you're not, you'll be in for real treat with this game.

Games Asylum Review: UEFA Euro 2008

Games Asylum writes: "The first thing to ask of any football game is: is it better than Pro Evolution Soccer? The answer in this case, is yes. Euro 2008 plays a slower, more realistic and more cultured version of the game. It relies far more on crossing, sensible defending and picking out the perfect pass, in contrast to Pro Evo's festival of dribbling.

It also plays a far better game online. I experienced hardly any lag, and when I did I found that the entire game slowed down to accommodate it. I never lost a goal or game due to lag, a huge difference to Pro Evo's nasty habit of making the ball disappear and then reappear in your own goal. There's also a wealth of online modes, including playing a Euro 2008 tournament online, playing in a league or just picking a single game. There's also an interesting feature called 'Play for your Country' where you choose your country and your scores both offline and online go into a ranking table to find out which country has the most obsessive citizens."
