What's the story?
Reviewed by Chris Saunders
If you're tired of purchasing sports games for your kids that focus more on trash-talking than the actual game, you'll be relieved to know that there's at least one title that's all about the game. EA Sports has created another masterpiece with the release of UEFA EURO 2004. The soccer game will give your kids an up-close and personal look at the intense world of European soccer.
Kids can play as any of the 51 European nations. They can arrange and play friendly matches against other nations or play through the tournament going from qualifying to playoffs and into the finals.
Is it any good?
As with many other sports titles, this soccer game has its share of commercialism. If your kid spends any amount of time playing video games, they may not even notice that players are wearing authentic uniforms and stadiums have large billboards that display names of title sponsors. It's a scene that you would expect to find if you actually visited a European stadium for a game.
Other than a bit of commercialism, the game is appropriate for players over 6. The game is one of few that you can pick up and play without having any prior experience playing video games (or soccer, for that matter). The variety of options makes this game worth the price.
How to play
- Playability: Easy for players of all ages to pick up and play. Kicking and running are the primary skills needed, which require only minimal game controls.
- Reading Required: 6+
- Graphics: Graphics are realistic from the fans that fill the stadiums to the authentic team uniforms.
