NZGamer writes: "It seems that with every major sporting event across the globe occurring, you can almost bank on it having a videogame counterpart. The Olympics have their button-mashing duels, football has its premier international showpiece, the World Cup, on display, and now it's Euro 2008's turn to make its way on to consoles, handheld and PC.
Euro 2008 will let you control any of the sixteen participating nations who qualified for the event, as well as an additional thirty six countries, allowing you to customise the event as you see fit. A real bonus for all you England fans out there still upset on your team missing out."
The Good:
-Will capture the essence of the tournament perfectly
The Bad:
-Lack of a Zidane head butt feature
The Ugly:
-Still can't change the real thing for English fans
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."
it's pretty good.
