GamerTM: UEFA Euro 2008 Review

With many Pro Evo fans starting to question their faith as the Konami franchise stagnates, Euro 2008 offers hope for the future – if EA continues to develop and apply the kind of improvements seen here, the next FIFA will almost definitely be a unanimous fan favourite if PES doesn't raise its game.

Okay, so it's basically just a streamlined version of FIFA 08 with new trimmings but look beyond this and there's a world of ball-kicking goodness to be enjoyed. Its decidedly stunted nature makes it a far more appealing choice for the multiplayer gamer but even so, it's still one of the better footy games of this generation.

thats the big difference between EURO08 and FIFA08, nice work.
the only thing i miss from pes games is the formations switch on pitch I REALLY NEED IT ¡¡¡
EURO08 is a nice surprise hopefully the next fifa will include that formation option

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.

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."
