UEFA Champions League 2006-2007 for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

This game is okay the actual gameplay is just ok people say its better than Fifa and at times i agree and others i dont. For one it's harder to play defense in this game for sure but on the plus side the AI is 1000 times better sometimes they'll actually move to get the ball and they also play defense. This big deal for this game is the card system in the ultimate team mode. You actually build your team using cards and you can buy more online this is a really fun system to play trying to build your ultimate team. Definately a good game for any soccer fan especially if you watched the Champions League however, with difficult achievements and a much harder game than fifa casual fans should stick with Fifa.

As someone who gets 99% of their exposure to soccer from either video games or the World Cup, I won’t pretend to understand the depth of the passion that soccer fans have. I think U.S. sports fans certainly have passion for their baseball and football, but I’m not sure the average fan lives and breathes their favorite club like a soccer fan does. So, even though it always strikes me as strange, I shouldn’t be too shocked about how many new titles seem to drop every year. That’s why I was only mildly surprised to have UEFA Champions League 2006-2007 show up in my mailbox barely a half a year after FIFA 07. That’s not to complain, I certainly enjoyed FIFA 07 and was more than happy to jump feet-first into a new title and kick it around a bit.

If you’re a novice to international - specifically European - football, the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Champions League features some of the absolute elite football clubs that even soccer newbies are mildly familiar with. Clubs like Real Madrid, A.C. Milan and Manchester United all compete on this grand European stage for the chance to hoist the European Champion Clubs' Cup – considered the most prestigious by most European fans. Unfortunately, here in the states, I’m not sure that having a title specific to Champions League is nearly the selling point that it is on the other side of the pond.

Fans should love what UEFA Champions League 2006-2007 has to offer. While it seems very little has been changed to the actual gameplay since FIFA 07’s release – that’s not all bad. The game still has some of the best physics in recent sports titles, and the AI still manages to produce a significant challenge to players on any skill level. The visuals have been improved since the fall, giving the game a crisper and smoother overall look.
