Now if you're a soccer fan, you're probably wondering why EA released this game when they have FIFA? Apparently the answer is to make more money during the Euro soccer season. Let's hear it for EA marketing! This is FIFA with less teams, only 52 in Euro 2008. To make up for that, the game has better graphics and some more control in what the player can do with the ball before and after scoring.

Euro has several modes including a story mode where you have to take your team to the championships. The Captain Your Country mode lets you take a created player to try and be the captain of the team by the finals. There's also a few achievements you can do in the single player mode. Soccer games are pretty much the same. You have a few special moves and the different weather can make the ball a little more difficult to handle, but the game is fixated on passing and setting the players up for a goal.

The graphics are very good when zooming in on the players, but it's difficult to play soccer in this view. You'll have to watch the details during the ingame replay or sports highlights after the game. EA provides a very international soundtrack of singers we've never heard before. There's only 8 stadiums with seasonal weather effects.

The game has plenty of multiplayer fun, as you would expect from EA sports. You can play Battle of the Nations where online players from their respective countries try to earn as many points for their country as possible. There's also the standard online 16-team elimination. This is a very short review because the game is just a shorter version of FIFA with a few different modes. It's not really worth the price they are asking, but since it has all the criteria for a good game, we can't lower the score. But we will lower the Dollar Value price.
