  1. Representing this summer's European tourney, UEFA impresses in many ways: shimmering presentation, engaging game modes, and tweaks to problems that hurt "FIFA 08". [June 2008, p.78]
  2. Playing the game is fun defined. While Pro Evolution has managed to slowly botch its own previously stellar system with each release, EA's FIFA has been making steady progress over the last few years, culminating in this climax.
  3. UEFA offers a solid game of soccer with no glaring flaws, a slightly steep learning curve, and a deep amount of play options that should keep most players satisfied--at least until next year's installment hits the market.
