Fun:
I think this football game has to the best football game so far. What i would like to say is goodbye fifa 08 and pro evolution 08.
When i first recieved news on this game i was in two minds becasue when a big international cup comes up EA introduce a new game. So far the world cup games have been terrible and lackin depth. But i decided to take the chance and spend £40 on release date. I have not been dissapointed. This game features everything and the gameplay is just superb. Also the depth in this game is at a high standard. Its hard to get bored of this game because there are so many modes to play through. The online as well has recieved a newdimension and adds to that Euro feeling. Now online you can play through the official euro 2008. Yes i won mine with the Pols:) it was gr8.
One of the best things which Euro as added is the weather conditions (now feature rain) it looks realistic even more on HD. Also when you score a goal you can customise your celebrations. So if you score that vital winner with the Faroe Islands; just go straight to the fans :D. The fans have also improved, penalties are class. The whole game is at a very high standard. I definetly reccommend this football game to all you football fans out there. Yes England did not qualify but its only a game.
P.s you are looking at the fifa 09 format in this game

Fun:
I have and love pro evo gameplay but admit that seeing FIFA this year the overall feel looked better than previously yet i resisted.
I had this demo and bought the game immediately - is fantastic, the pro camera is a great addition and captain your team really is engrossing (you have to out score players on your side, either online or CPU to get the captancy and keep it through tournament, nice addition)
Its the graphics and sound, weather and stadiums etc that complete the look - fantastic.
Gameplay is what its all about though and again this comes up trumps.
The AI is very good compared to other footie titles.
Teams do play differently - eg away games against a poor side they will have backs to the wall and defend - not easy to rack up the goals even then.
Commentary is fantastic - andy townsend is the new commentator, seamless and cant think of an annoying repetition or the commentary being out of sync with the gameplay at all - there is usually.
I realise spending £40 3 times a year is a bit much but this is very good game - cant really compare benefits if you have FIFA08 already but if still on Pro Evo and wondering if should then would highly recommend - Pro Evo's not been out the box for 2 weeks now

Strange at first but a massive grower.

Better Than FIFA 08, But...
What is it with EA Sports? They seem to be able to create football games that are almost perfect, but with enough annoying elements to make you want to tear your hair out. Read more
