Game Review: UEFA Euro 2004

Game Review

 

Through Balls: One of the skill moves.
(Notice the numbers on the screen)

 

Selection of the intended target in a Corner Kick

 

Realistic protests when a player is cautioned by a referee

Scouting report of the next opponent

Also, there is also a lack of consistency of the hotkeys/action keys in the Menus. For example, in a screen, an escape into the former screen can be the Return key on one menu but on another sub-menu, the button for this same action may be the Esc key. Hence, it takes a bit of getting use to for a new player.

Even though there is an online multiplayer option, what surprised me was that there is no network mode. This is a surprise as this function is not new and was present in FIFA 2004. Hence, not having this mode here restricts some dimension of the game.

 

Conclusion

Despite these minor flaws, UEFA Euro 2004 has an extremely high re-playability level and accompanied by its brilliant sound effects and graphics, makes this the ultimate gaming experience for the football game fans. For all these plus points, I would personally give UEFA Euro 2004 a rating of 8/10.

So if you are looking for that great adrenaline rush that has been missing in your gaming life for a while, UEFA 2004 is definitely THE Choice for you.
