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."
DarkZero writes: "Well, it's here again. The football tournament that infiltrates our homes, hearts and minds every leap year is once again upon us, and EA have once again been kind enough to grace us with yet another addition to its flagship footballing juggernaut. Thankfully, due to the drastic improvement present in their last couple of Fifa releases, this is no longer something to be frowned upon with horror and disgust, but rather a real opportunity to put the failures of the home nations to one side and enjoy playing out the competition in a much more satisfying manner.
As is tradition with these Euro editions, the sole focus is on this summer's Euro 2008 tournament, with no options available to play league matches with club teams. Of course, anyone expecting otherwise obviously hasn't gotten used to EA's formula of milking these sports franchises for all they're worth, but in fairness 'it does what it says on the tin', and there's always the excellent Fifa 08 to satisfy any other needs. In any case, enough changes have been made to justify forking out once more for this latest incarnation, with several new modes and play devices introduced which substantially alter the way the game is played."
I have PES and thinking about getting Fifa 08, but I dont know about this. Didnt like the demo much....anyone have this?
