HEXUS.gaming has reviewed EA's latest soccer title and believe it is the best to have even been released from the studio, and "the best football game on the market."
"Forget the fact that England didn't qualify for Europe. As soon as you start your first tournament, hear the National Anthem blaring out of your speakers and see the Germans or French lining-up in front of you, you'll only have one thing on your mind: beating the living daylights out of them and bringing home the cup. In my humble opinion, despite there still being room for improvement, EURO 2008 is the best soccer game to have ever graced the Xbox 360."
EA Sports UEFA Euro 2012 first trailer
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 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."
i am a hardcore Pro Evo fan and me and my mates were very impressed by the demo, its a really good football game.
I'm a big fan of the football world and i played most football games nothing can touch Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 even if it isn't that better than 07 but fifa is trying to pull up there game there close but didn't you hear what konami had to say they said be sure that Winning Eleven 09 or most people know it as Pro Evolution Soccer 09 the best football game ever seen....PES smoothness its just a different state
