UEFA Euro 2008 for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

I had been waiting to get this game forever because I saw all of the great reviews and I like soccer. I was a little disappointed though, but I think it was mainly because I sucked.

My first instinct was to rip it out of my console, but I decided to keep playing to see if the game (or myself) improved at all.(Just so you know, I did choose a good team)which is not the best way to earn team points, but is supposed to be best for actually winning!

Four hours later, I was still playing with a furious, yet crazed determination that I was going to score a goal. I did end up scoring two total goals, one on accident past my own goalie, the other a miracle from God!

The reason I had such a difficult time was that the players without the ball can run faster than the player with the ball....which I guess is kinda true in real soccer, but SUCKS for video games! I was always overcome by the opposing team, and was not able to find a workable strategy to overcome this problem.(Yes, I passed the ball....more times than necessary). Slidetackling in this game is truly an art, and will most often land you a yellow card rather than a steal. I probably should have looked online for hints and tips, but I was so emersed and involved in this game that I thought I could just keep playing and eventually find something that worked....nope.

Anyway, the graphics were great, character movements were realistic and fluid, the announcers had a creepy accuracy and intelligence to what was happening in the game. The controls were simple and responsive. Oh, and if you have a small standard def TV...you might want to leave this one alone. The players were a little smaller than they should have been....at least IMHO.

There was a lot of detail in this game, and it was done very well and it is one of the most surprisingly INTENSE sports games I've played thus far, I just sucked at it. It almost resulted in a broken controller until I thought to myself "Yeah, not on this game bro....not on this game.

GREAT GAME LOVE PLAYING IT..

it diren't work

its not fun game maybe u like it

If you are a fan of soccer games, check this out. In some reviews there are comments about the lack of club teams. Well the point of this is national teams from Europe and the tournament that crowns the champ of the continent. There are all sorts of fun mini games and scenarios to tryout. Take FIFA 08 and tweek it a bit and add a few new moves by the players but not as good as 09 and you have EURO 08. This is a long rental for sure.

It's alright. I am not experienced in soccer video games, so maybe that was why. Of the sports genre, I definitely prefer college football or madden.

This game made it way too hard to score a goal. On easy with the best team was still hard

awesome game. some of the through balls u can do here cannot do anywhere. best game for passing and build up ea has made till now.

:)

Definately not up to the FIFA label and EA sports level of expected game play.

this game was too hard to learn and feel like you have a lot of control. its all eruo teams too, for some reason i thought there would be Brazil but then i read the title. when i rented all i saw was soccer game. This game is very hard to be good at and got too frustrating.
