PSX Extreme writes: "You may be thinking to yourself, 'why is EA releasing another soccer game? Don't we already have FIFA?' Well, yes, we do. But, you see, with the Euro 2008 approaching its start, it's only right for a videogame to fill the void of those who wish to virtually recreate their own Euro 2008. And because FIFA is...well, FIFA, it can't quite perform those duties, now can it? So here is UEFA Euro 2008 for the PlayStation 2, it runs on the same FIFA 08 game engine, so it'll feel similar to many. But the inclusion of the Kick Stick sets Euro 2008 apart.
The rundown is simple; the game greets you with an optional tutorial of the Kick Stick controls. The Kick Stick allows you to use the right analog stick of the Dual Shock to perform all of the game's various penalty kicks, and it even allows you to manipulate the curve of the ball's travel. The feature is surprisingly intuitive, much more so than many other similar mechanics found in other sports games, like baseball and hockey. After watching the tutorial, you'll be brought to the game's main-menu where an interface unlike past EA Sports games welcomes you. Here you can choose Play Now, UEFA Euro 2008, European Campaign, Captain Your Country, Penalty Shootout, The Lounge, and Practice. The last four game modes are tucked away under the "Game Modes" selection, for whatever reason."
