''Well here we go with the second version of this review – the first being eaten by new relatively new, but now most definitely dead, PC. Thankfully UEFA Euro 2008 is a much more reliable source of entertainment albeit a slightly flawed one.
I'm not going to explore the whys and wherefores of EA choosing to release another football game midway between yearly FIFA updates. You have the choice to buy or not to buy this game, it's as simple as that.
Obviously the game is focussed on this summer's European Championship – so there are no club teams. However Euro 2008 isn't limited to the tournament and its venues itself, you can play through the full qualification campaign too.''

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."
The european box implies that this has some form of co-op mode online.
Can anyone confirm if 2 different boxes can hook up and play captain your country or anything else online or whether the only online mode is the 1 v's 1
Thanks
