UEFA Champions League 2006-2007

UEFA Champions League 2006-2007 is a fun game with realistic and accurate play. The instructions leave a bit to be desired, but even novice soccer players will be able to figure out the mechanics of the game without too much time and trouble. The thing that sets this game apart from other soccer games is the card trading element. It is fun and addictive, and earning packs is almost more fun than winning the matches themselves. With a strong game engine and good graphics, this game gets a strong recommendation.

Football fans should have no problem picking up U.E.F.A. and enjoying themselves with a layered experience, but for me and gamers like me, I have a hard time even fairly scoring U.E.F.A. because it is so niche, so specifically targeted that a fully “objective” review just isn’t possible. For me it was more a matter of just enjoying the Play Now mode when some friends are over and we want to play some video game soccer. That’s fun. Not worrying about Achievements or cards or if the players are being accurately portrayed in physicality or their endurance – just playing and having a few laughs.

Fabian (2:25 PM): Mein Review zu UEFA Champions League 2006-2007 - ich würde gerne kreativ sein, aber mir fällt nicht's ein. Tanja (2:25 PM): Oh. Tanja (2:26 PM): Wie kommt's? Ist das Spiel so langweilig? Fabian (2:26 PM): Nein, eigentlich nicht. Es ist nur... naja, es ist im Prinzip FIFA 07 mit Champions-League-Lizenz und einem neuen Kartensystem. Fabian (2:26 PM): Okay, eigentlich ist es schon ein bisschen langweilig.

A moins de vouer un culte à la Coupe d'Europe et de ne pas posséder FIFA 07, investir dans UEFA Champions League 2006-2007, c'est faire le choix de dépenser 65 euros pour ce qui est une mise à jour du dernier titre de la série. S'il est sans concurrence dans la retranscription de l'ambiance de la compétition, le jeu d'EA est limité en termes de contenu et ne marque en rien une évolution de la franchise, si on le considère comme une suite directe de FIFA 07.

If you’re a member of the die-hard, fanatical, and obsessive soccer crew, UEFA will keep you busy until the next edition of FIFA hits in roughly 25 minutes. Card fans will be satisfied with the new options, while non-soccer fans will wonder what’s different enough to justify the price. UEFA is milking the sport dry on the 360, and it’s shame since it plays a solid game on the field.
