This one is a lot of fun. I love Fifa 2008 and PES 2008, but this one has better graphics than Fifa 2008 and a slicker menu system. I think the difficulty settings are not as good as PES 2008 though and the crowd graphics in PES are much better than the EA games, with the drawback being the licensed clubs being limited in PES.
If you enjoyed either Fifa or PES you'll like this one, but of course it's just Euro Cup national teams and thus not worth full price by any means. I don't like the marketing gimmick of coming out with titles just for specific tournaments but at the full price, get this when it's at half price as that's more indicative of the value. If you want all the licensed leagues there's nothing better than Fifa, you can create tournaments there as well, but World Cup is not a set tournament nor is Euro Cup or Champions League, etc. out of the box. I recommend this one at half price due to it just being Euro Cup.

Bought this game for my ps3 which is connected to my 1080p bravia and was amazed by the intro graphics. Started playing and again was amazed by the details of the graphics. Unfortunately the graphics were the only good thing about this game for the ps3. The gameplay free-flowing and responsive except for the all too common stop and go "jittery" action during the gameplay itself and especially during screen changes before kickoffs, throw-ins, substitutions, etc. Also played this game on my friend's xbox and its amazing. The flow of the game is "flowless" like a football game should be. I've purchased the ps3 for the "superior" processing speeds, so I thought. Oh, and by the way this game is displayed only in 720p on the ps3 regardless of what the fine print says in the back of the case.After becoming a little addicted to the Basketball hockey, and soccer video games and for some of the reasonable prices these were going for I decided to add this to my game collection, and after a ton of headaches an the like truly regret the choice now. Don't get me wrong the graphics, stadiums, and players are extremely well done for this game but when you see he glitches and bugs come into effect during the game play it really begins to annoy you. One point is when your running across the field and do a pass sometimes the ball whizzes around the field like it's caught in a tornado ending up who knows where, at first I thought it was some weird option in the game but after rechecking the manual I saw that wasn't the point another weird glitch is when your chasing the opponent who has the ball your player will sometimes vanish and end up on the other side of the field or going the other direction. I didn't really try out the other extras of the game and haven't really played this game since having these glitches pop up every time I did play which became so frustrating that I've just let the game collect dust on my shelf since than, so if you're looking for a good soccer game and for a reasonable price I say try out the PES soccer games from Konami or FIFA soccer from EA sports the 2007-2009 versions which I have and haven't had any problems with since getting them and while I know this game too is from EA sports sadly they seemed to have done a poor job of removing the glitches and bugs from this game...Read Best Reviews of UEFA Euro 2008 Here
If you want to play the UEFA 2008 tournament on PS3, you have to get this, it's fun but not much different gameplay than EA's FIFA 2009 (yes it's closer to 2009, not 2008)Some fun bonus material is included, like replaying parts of past big Euro cup games where you have to win in the dying minutes for example.My favorite Fifa game was world cup 2006 and until this game came out I did not enjoy most other soccer games. Great game play, very reaisitic ball skills, etc.
My only complaint is the difficulty levels. Mainly from Semi-Pro to Pro there is an extreme jump in difficulty. I literally just beat Sweden (playing as Spain) 16-0 on Semi-Pro and then in most matches will be lucky to tie against Sweden or any other decent teams in Pro.
Overall good game though!
