UEFA Euro 2008 Kicks Into Stores!

By | May 21, 2008 | Xbox 360 |

As of yesterday, the game based on this summer’s second biggest sporting event, the UEFA Euro 2008, has hit store shelves. UEFA Euro 2008 should be available in every major retailer in North America as of yesterday, but definitely as of today. Also notably, there is a demo for this game on Xbox Live Marketplace, so if you’re interested give that a try first. I enjoyed it quite a bit and it seems like a welcomed improvement from FIFA 07 and 08.

UEFA Euro 2008 gives you a shot at playing with one of 52 European countries to take them from the Qualification rounds, to the group rounds and finally to the elimination rounds that could take you all the way to the finals, if you’re good enough. There is also a new mode called Captain Your Country in which gamers can put themselves on the field and take their country through to glory.

A new addition to the series is a massive web component called EA Football World. Using this, while connected to EA servers, your every performance against any country is rated using points, where more points are awarded for scoring an upset. Gamers can also track their performances through EA Football World which is available in 5 different languages.

We’ll have a review up of this game, hopefully soon. Download the demo, try it, and if you like it, go get the game!

    Hmm, I loved the one FIFA game I played. I've never played an UEFA game…what is different about it as compared to FIFA?

    This isn't real "football"! I kid, I kid, I'll have to try out the demo…

    LOL…absolutely nothing really. its just another way for EA to put out more games. lol

    Lol…EA…soon EA will be putting out groceries and buying out Wal-Mart…lol. I guess I'll give this one a try since I loved the FIFA 06 game. Do you get to create your own character in these games?

    I think so…from what I read in the press release the Captain Your Country mode should let you do that…

    And I agree on the your first sentence. EA just can't stop whoring its franchises…

    The only difference that is possible is that the UEFA game might not have international play (outside of Europe). Its supposed to just be all the European leagues as opposed to FIFA which is considered international, but you never know with EA. They love to break the rules and do whatever they want. lol.

    It's considered "European" which in EA's eyes isn't international because it doesn't include the US. LOL You're spot on with the fact that this would only include European countries…of which there are 52 in the game (see OP).

    An actual FIFA game would include upwards of a 100 different 'international' teams.

    Hmm, I may buy one of them today, I think they have a UEFA 07 out…I may buy that one first since it's gonna be cheaper. That way I can see if I actually like it as well as I did FIFA. Thanks for the help!

    No prob. I liked both 2006 FIFA's but 2007's achievements were too damn hard so I didn't bother with it. I haven't seen 2008 yet…Is there even one?
