Tag it:
 You can turn the clock back, and play for your favourite National team, all the way from the qualifying phase to the finals. Fifty teams and their official stadiums are on offer. Although the game is based on the Fifa 08 engine, the action is zippier without been frenetic. The responsive controls allow you to take on and beat opponents: a skill that seems to elude most of our home-grown players!  The realism of the qualifying games is mightily impressive. You are likely to encounter palpably hostile crowds, indifferent playing surfaces and teams hell-bent on preventing you from scoring. Captain Your Country mode is new. This most welcome addition allows you to earn the right to lead your country to glory. You will be able, by virtue of your performances, to progress from the fringes of the squad to the role of captain.  UEFA Euro 2008 offers you a mouth-watering array of multiplayer online options. In addition to the already impressive Fifa options, you now have the Battle of Nations mode. Here you battle it out with gamers throughout the world, scoring points, which will be accredited to your home nation. The winning nation will not be announced until the end of the real life tournament. The graphics are mostly excellent, although in close-up the player’s faces can resemble rather inferior wax-works.  The sound cannot be faulted. The roar of the crowd, the passion, the chants and the cat-calls will genuinely enhance your enjoyment. The accompanying commentary is second to none: the snappy and informative delivery by Andy Townsend and Clive Tyldesley never becomes tiresome. UEFA Euro 2008 treats us to the most realistic football experience in the Fifa series. To make the most of the game, however, you ought to buy it without delay, because once the real tournament is over its appeal will diminish. |
