EA gamers, the people that brought you the FIFA series as well as the Euro 2004 hit game. The focus here is obviously on the Champions league. You can take even the lower teams of the divisions to champions league glory.

Yes its another football game and the chances are that FIFA 2006 is in production but the variety can always still be worth it. The variety in UEFA Champions League 2004/2005 is that this is the first mission based football game. Yes that is correct mission based. I know you are thinking how, but its obvious really its like real football. Different clubs have different targets in a season. There are over fifty missions in the game ranging from you having to win the Champions league outright to having pressure put on you to have to win a game by a certain margin. Can you handle that type of pressure from the board?

Take any team from the English, French, Spanish, German or Italian top divisions plus a number of others outside these leagues. With game boasting a choice of 239 teams to make your choice from. There is also a multiplayer mode and an online play mode.

New features in the game include a brand new set piece system and EA Sports talk Radio where you get to listen to what the fans really think about you.
