5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Game better graphics than fifa 2008, May 28, 2008

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: UEFA Euro 2008 (Video Game)

This one is a lot of fun. I love Fifa 2008 and PES 2008, but this one has better graphics than Fifa 2008 and a slicker menu system. I think the difficulty settings are not as good as PES 2008 though and the crowd graphics in PES are much better than the EA games, with the drawback being the licensed clubs being limited in PES.

If you enjoyed either Fifa or PES you'll like this one, but of course it's just Euro Cup national teams and thus not worth full price by any means. I don't like the marketing gimmick of coming out with titles just for specific tournaments but at the full price, get this when it's at half price as that's more indicative of the value. If you want all the licensed leagues there's nothing better than Fifa, you can create tournaments there as well, but World Cup is not a set tournament nor is Euro Cup or Champions League, etc. out of the box. I recommend this one at half price due to it just being Euro Cup.

1.0 out of 5 stars awsome game for xbox not ps3, May 25, 2008

This review is from: UEFA Euro 2008 (Video Game)

Bought this game for my ps3 which is connected to my 1080p bravia and was amazed by the intro graphics. Started playing and again was amazed by the details of the graphics. Unfortunately the graphics were the only good thing about this game for the ps3. The gameplay free-flowing and responsive except for the all too common stop and go "jittery" action during the gameplay itself and especially during screen changes before kickoffs, throw-ins, substitutions, etc. Also played this game on my friend's xbox and its amazing. The flow of the game is "flowless" like a football game should be. I've purchased the ps3 for the "superior" processing speeds, so I thought. Oh, and by the way this game is displayed only in 720p on the ps3 regardless of what the fine print says in the back of the case.
