Real Football 2008 gets Euro edition

Just in time for, oh, some tournament or other

Product: Real Football 2008: European Tournament | Developer: Gameloft | Publisher: Gameloft | Genre: 3D, Sports
A week to go until the start of Euro 2008, and us Englishers are still trying to decide who to support, in the predictable surprising absence of our boys.

Allez les Bleus? Deutschland Uber Alles? Whatever they say in Croatia? It's a tough choice. Although for the ultimate realism, my bet's on Spain to be the most likely to lose on penalties in the quarter finals.

Anyway, while we decide, at least we can play a new version of Gameloft's top mobile footy sim. Real Football 2008: European Tournament is, as the name suggests, an entirely unlicensed game released to tie in with Euro 2008.

There's more than 200 teams to play as (that includes clubs, for those of you looking confused at a European map in your atlas), as well as four stadia to play in.

Expect the same luscious 3D visuals as in Real Football 2008, as well as TV-style presentation, and AI that Gameloft says lets your team-mates and opponents adapt to your playing style.

It looks set to offer a more traditional rival to EA Mobile's quirkier UEFA Euro 2008 title. Choice is a good thing, see? Now, should I support Greece or Holland?

Here are 9 legit reasons why people should play Real Football 2008-European Tournament HD

1-The core gameplay is fantastic! The fluidity of the game is refreshingly smoother than its Java predecessor and the physics of the ball has been tweaked considerably. Chesting the ball and controllability is much more defined as well as showing off suet skills like playing through passes, easy one-twos, long passes, deep crosses, one touch step-overs, flip flaps, Marseille roulette etc A power bar will influence your passing succession in open spaces and directional sliding bar for accuracy when attempting goals! The animation of the players and the pace is incredible!!! Goal keepers have stunning reactions when saving goals whilst players seamlessly control the ball with perfection similar to the football mega stars. I actually thought I was playing a playstation game!

2-The graphics are simply gorgeous! There are 3D visuals when choosing players colorful outfits (Home or Away fixtures) as well as highlighting your player's stats brings up realistic animations of the players in 3D. There are 4 superb stadiums to choose from (Lombardo, Redbrick, Felipe, Republique) all of which are greatly detailed with the fans. The pitch is rich with impressive color texture and the players expressions are outlined when the camera zooms in on bookings and on fabulous goal celebrations. Great care has been taken to give players their individual characteristics. The game can be played with a choice of 4 camera's perspectives (Normal, Near, Far, Follow Through) Interactive game replays are fully immersed in 3D. You can rotate the camera in different angles, stop, rewind, forwind or pause to the build up of an incident anytime of the game or relive the excitement of scoring that awesome goal.

3- There are various weather variables to adjust (Fine, Rain and Snow) to add more realism to the proceedings as well as the option in playing in a Day or Night game. You can tweak the rules to your preferences (Extra time with penalties, No extra time, Golden goal, Silver goal), the duration of playing time and 3 difficulty levels to master.

4-The game features most licensed clubs and players. Over 76 National teams spreading across through Europe, Asia, America, Africa, 9 classic National sides with about 100 clubs from England, Italy, Germany, Spain etc which adds great authenticity to any soccer game

5-The game has superb menu music as well as the infamous chants from the crowd throughout the game-play! Some of the crowd chants differ in different matches making the atmosphere even more realistic as if you are really in the stadium!!! Crowds react when there are bookings and scoring goals!
