UEFA Euro 2008 review for Sony PSP
In recent years there's generally been two types of footy game from EA. Your yearly update to FIFA, and another game to cash in on any tournament that's going on in the intervening months. Last year it was the turn of the Champions League; this year it's the European Championships. These games have always been a pale imitation of their older brother, usually featuring similar gameplay but with a serious lack of content. That's not been the case this year with UEFA Euro 2008's 360 version, with the FIFA 08 engine being tweaked to produce a slightly faster, yet still thoughtful and considered game of football, and a raft of new content including several new modes like the superb Captain Your Country, an almost RPG-like mode as compelling as any singleplayer game in a sports title has been.
