I'm very impressed with Euro 2004, they could have put a bit more effort in to make it seem like a proper game for Euro 2004, like they did with World Cup 98, that was one of the most impressive games in terms of lots of World Cup related stuff in there.... World Cup 2002 of course as well!
It just didnt seem to be in reference to The European Championships to much, apart from the various teams of course.
I found the gameplay to be much more responsive and an overall better experience than FIFA 2004...
I had a thrilling game last night, I can really get into this game, it was Germany vs Italy (I was Italy) in the semi-final of EURO 2004, the game had 3 injuries, 2 penalties saved, 2 sending offs (1 for each side!) and Ballack scored for Germany to make it 2-2 in the 88th minute with myself running down the wing crossing the ball in for a wonderful volley to win 3-2 in the dying seconds, the game plays VERY well indeed.
Yes, there are some bugs that need sorting, as always.... they fixed a few but there are some weird actions, like if you touch the ball facing the goal your bound to walk it into your own net...and the keeper diving through the netting is a bit lame, but hey, FIFA 2005 has what, 5/6 months till its release, imho they got the gameplay spot on now, they just have to work on some other aspects to make FIFA 05 a step closer to Pro Evo.
