Summary
UEFA EURO 2008 captures the look and feel of the journey from qualification to the finals with rain and mud dynamics that impact playing conditions, real-time player ratings that change based on player performance, and a penalty kick mode that re-creates the elation and agony of a penalty shoot-out as if you were on the pitch. Experience the thrill of scoring the goal that sends your country through to the next round and then choose how to celebrate it with all-new interactive user-controlled celebrations. Captain your country, play alongside your heroes, and inspire them to championship glory in the official videogame of UEFA EURO 2008. A new game mode called Captain Your Country enables gamers to customize them on the pitch and wear the shirt of their national team. Work through eight status levels to earn the captaincy of your team and then lead your country into battle for championship glory against your rivals. Go online in Battle of the Nations to earn status points for yourself and your country in a competition for global supremacy. Go for the biggest upsets to earn the most points and then watch you and your country move up the leader boards. Face the challenge and pressure of competing in the championship rounds in the EURO Online Knockout Draw to test your skills against the world's best. [Electronic Arts]

Jolt Online Gaming UK
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.
Read Full Review >Electronic Gaming Monthly
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]
GameZone
The soccer is well done, the ball physics are solid and the overall environment – from graphics to sound – is well done.
Read Full Review >PSX Extreme
Euro 2008 is yet another superb soccer game from EA Sports. It picks up where FIFA 08 left off, and adds improvements to the overall experience.
Read Full Review >MEGamers
If you are a football fan, you should not miss this, even if you have bought FIFA 08.
Maxi Consolas (Portugal)
It’s the confirmation of everything that was great on FIFA 08 for the PS3 and Xbox 360. The gameplay is side-by-side with everything that Pro Evolution Soccer has delivered over the years and it’s better than any FIFA to date. And with its shiny presentation and online and offline modes, it’s a must have for every soccer fan out there. [Apr 2008]
Cheat Code Central
The player likenesses are fantastic and the overall presentation is wonderful.

Most soccer nuts awaiting this summer's Euro-only tourney in Switzerland and Austria will buy this one anyway, but for those on the fence, I recommend giving this one a shot. Particularly at the slightly reduced $49.99 price tag.

Those searching for a great tune up to this fall's FIFA 2009 should look no further than the impressive package of UEFA Euro 2008.
Read Full Review >Thunderbolt
The gameplay’s been tightened up, graphically it looks great, the Captain Your Country mode is great fun and most club and international teams are omitted.
Read Full Review >TheSixthAxis
There's the obvious full complement of local and online game modes, but the best new option is the Captain Your Country mode.
Read Full Review >DarkZero
The normal match modes and multiplayer are a step up from Fifa 08, with player movement and ball control even more realistic than what has come before.
Read Full Review >PSW Magazine UK
This is FIFA 08 with the Euro 2008 license slapped on. Don't expect anything different and you'll be treated to the beautiful game. FIFA fans will enjoy, PES 08 fans may well not.
Read Full Review >IGN UK
EURO 2008 is undoubtedly a step forward for the FIFA series, bringing it tantalizingly close to dethroning the once all conquering "PES."
Read Full Review >PTGamers
See this game as version 1.1 of FIFA 08, but focused on the UEFA European Championship, and as a nice taste of things to come in the next edition of FIFA.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
UEFA Euro 2008 plays a better game of football than anything else on the market, but only just.
Read Full Review >VideoGamer
The big question hanging over Euro 2008 is if it's worth its price tag, given that it's essential a tweaked FIFA 08 and FIFA 09 is only a few months away? The core gameplay has been tweaked enough to make FIFA 08 feel slightly dated, but chances are FIFA 09 will improve on this even further.

Where this game really shines is online. [June 2008, p.76]
Playstation Official Magazine UK
Things look very good for "FIFA 09." [May 2008, p.106]
Play.tm
Although there is nothing wrong with the gameplay (which is rock-solid), it's as good as FIFA 2008 - if not ever so slightly more fined tuned. My only concern is why any football fan would want a version that is not as complete as other versions already on the market.
Read Full Review >IC-Games
If you are desperate for a good football game, you couldn't find a better game on the market, that's for sure, however a desire to play the game is not likely to last past the summer, certainly not past the probable release of FIFA 09.
Read Full Review >GameShark
Soccer diehards will love the action on the pitch and the faithfulness to the pageantry of the UEFA Euro competition. However, given the limited scope of this title, it’s hard to justify paying nearly full price unless you’re a soccer junkie.
Read Full Review >Gaming Age
The best version of soccer that EA has put up to date, and just gets me excited for what lies in store for the full game called FIFA 09 this fall!
Read Full Review >GameTrailers
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.
Read Full Review >Gameplanet
A good solid soccer title which builds on previous EA soccer titles. Some glitches here and there and a high learning curve means you will need to stick at it, and might put off newcomers to the series. But an incredible match and graphics engine help to make up for this.
Read Full Review >Gamer.nl
UEFA Euro 2008 might not be the most original game, but it certainly entertains us... On the other hand the playing time is a bit short, there are a few minor bugs and the game even lacks the Dutch football team.
Read Full Review >GameSpy
Battle of the Nations is a phenomenal way to stoke the nationalistic fire of the competition in gamers around the world, but it's shutting down the day after the tournament.
Read Full Review >PSM3 Magazine UK
An improvement on FIFA 2008 in terms of tempo of play, but this still lacks real bite. [May 2008, p.68]
Play UK
Does 50 teams for the price of 570 sound like a good deal to you? If it doesn't, then you don't need UEFA Euro 2008. If it does, you also don't need UEFA Euro 2008, you need professional help. [Issue#165, p.90]
