my review of euro 08

Some of the things that let's it down are, 1.) just like fifa 08 it has button lag & still has the bad habbit to pass it the wrong way, 2.) even if you set the auto switching to 100% manual it switchs your player when you don't want to & at times doesn't let you change when you do want to change your player, 3.) when you play Captain Your Nation you can't transfer the stats you built up with say a weak team to a stong team or your own nation, when you turn on Team Pressure Tactic the other team still finds a way through more times than he should & the Defence falls asleep. Some of the plus's are, 1.) a online cup but you don't know if the player won a match after E.T. or P.K.'s 2.) & it looks much better than the Football games that are based on the Euro Championships or World Cup, I've reduced the rating by 1 star because EA still hasn't fixed the bugs in the game
Hmmmmm, not a fan!

I was exceedingly excited when this game dropped to £26.99, so I snapped it up. To be honest I was disappointed with the gameplay. Now I realise that everyone hopes for realistic gameplay, but this goes too far in my opinion. I'm a big pro evo fan and unlike most I was a fan of pro evo 2008 (although on live it can get slightly annoying!). I just find the pro evo series a little bit more fun and exciting to play. I would say that if you're a fan of Fifa you will undoubtedly loves this, but i'm afraid it's not for me!
The best footy game on the 360 by far

Ok the euros might be over but this game is still worth buying.
The game isnt as packed with as many features as you would expect from fifa, however the captain your country mode is fantastic, the online play is 90% lag free (unlike pes!!!!) and there is nothing better than winning your mates time and time again. Which is why this game gets 5*****
3+ (PEGI) |
