Electronic Arts released the UEFA Euro 2012 downloadable expansion for FIFA 12 just yesterday and now the company has posted a special launch trailer that highlights the unique experience offered by the add-on.

Lots of FIFA fans expected the UEFA Euro 2012 experience to be launched as a retail game later this year.

EA, however, decided to reward the tens of millions of FIFA 12 owners by making the UEFA Euro 2012 content available as DLC, for a lower price.

While this decision was met with mixed feelings, the add-on is now available for all FIFA 12 owners all around the world.

In order to really motivate them and to promote the unique competition included in the DLC, in the form of the UEFA Euro 2012 tournament, a launch trailer has just appeared.

In it, you can admire the national teams from the add-on, with a heavy emphasis on England.

The UEFA Euro 2012 DLC for FIFA 12 is now available for download on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 in exchange for $20/€20/1600 MS Points.

The price was 1800 MS points in my Northern America market. At first I thought I was getting the next edition of the game at a great price, until I played it and realized it was a legitimate expansion to FIFA 12, and certainly not a different game in its own right, but the price was still almost fair. I say almost, because for some reason that I can not deduce on my own, the gameplay option to play only as your virtual pro during a match was left out. The virtual pros are included at least, and stat building achievements can still be attained, but the option to play only as your virtual pro through the UEFA Euro 12 campaign is absent. Also absent, is the ability to qualify for the Group stage. You can only start there, with teams you select, or teams that are randomly chosen. At this point I would have felt quite ripped off for paying for something I could nearly replicate with the original FIFA 12 tournament options, were it not for "Expedition" mode. It is simply put a completely new game mode, summarized as a cross between fantasy football, territorial conquest, and trading card games. It is as you might imagine, pretty great.
