    Pick your favourite team, control your favourite player and lead the whole nation to success. It does not get any more exciting than this!

    For those of you with FIFA 08, this is well worth a look simply because of the refreshing new modes and roster of teams/players available.

    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.

    I still prefer this one compared to FIFA 09. All the good ideas like the career mode as being a pro, the nice graphics (weather) ,the brilliant audio(crowd) and the nice own tournament creation and calculation are all euro 2008 ideas at the first place. But he main reason i prefer this one is simple: the front end looks much fresher and nicer and the tournament atmosphere playing all the way to the finals is the thing FIFA 09 is lacking of. Great game, looking for world cup 2010!… Expand

    The controls in this game are absolutely horrid. The player movements are broken and unrealistic. The cut scenes are exactly that cut and broken. I seriously cannot understand why videogames continue to incorporate cut scenes in games. It is contrived and not revolutionary. I would have expected a much improved physics engine from EA. Once again, EA disappoints.… Expand
