 Pro Evo - Still the purists choice, no matter what people say ! November 6, 2007
24 out of 28 found this review helpful
I have been playing Pro Evolution Soccer for as long as most reviewers on this site and, for the life of me, I really don't understand what all this griping is about. Admittedly, I was very disappointed by the licensing, but then us PES fans always are but the gameplay (which is surely more important??) always wins us over. As a United fan I was twice as disappointed by the removal of Old Trafford and the fact that Konami had the license for the United team/kit last year, which unfortunately has also become a victim of the licensing wars. However, you can edit until your hearts content (which you CANNOT do on the PS3 version, Mr Smug Next Generation Console Man who slated this version) or you can pay somebody a small fee to do the dirty work for you.
Anyway, the gameplay (for who really cares about the rubbish menus and the rubbish music - don't you realise you can switch the menu music off ?? Or do you not possess a mute button ??!). The gameplay is absolutely fantastic ! The match itself is faster this time around, the passing is smooth, the throughballs are twice as effective, the shooting still a million miles better than the 'hit and hope' Fifa system and the direct free kicks are much improved. The players DO react differently too, you DO get defenders lunging in at the last moment to block your shots, you DO get more tricky centre forwards running at you and you DO get more intelligent computer opponents running oh so cunningly off the ball in order to ruin your evening. Yes, the game still can have that effect on you, leaving you distraught at that last minute equaliser or punching the air as you spank one into the top corner.
If you add to this the fact that (those without mute buttons) will notice a marked improvement in the commentary which is actually reactive to the game now, at least when Jon Champion speaks anyway, the game has definitely got better. I admit that when Mark Lawrenson chips in, he does speak a load of rubbish, but pray tell me what is unrealistic about that !!
Overall, I love this game and I know if you look into your hearts, the true fans will do too. It could be improved 'off the pitch' to justify the price tag (Konami - that is directed at you), but PES 2008 is better in most aspects than it's predecessors and worth adding to your collection, despite lacking the 'cosmetic' touches.
So, if you like cosmetics, I suggest Fifa or Maybeline whilst us gritty football fans will pick the style, panache and playability of Evo every single time.
Still quality where it matters November 19, 2007

I agree title menus and music(turn it off) are terrible
Gameplay - Despite other reviews it has improved. I play the master league so it may not be as noticible on the multi-player version. Previous version I won every game on top level, now the computer has improved and can score goals from any position and it is a fight to win matches. Graphically no major improvements as I think the PS2 has been pushed as far as it can go but there are improvements in movement and shooting.
So you are getting an improvement on previous version with updated players. The menus do not detract from the overall quality.
If you are a Spurs fan sign, Shaw & Schwartz both 18yrs old and provide much needed balance as they are left footed
The best football title EVER returns!! September 17, 2007

The greatest football game of all time returns. Pro Evolution Soccer returns with it's usual blend of creative gameplay and it's 'fix it yourself' editing options!
In PES2008 you are going to get four fully licensed leagues:
Spanish La Liga
French Ligue 1
Italian Serie A
Dutch Eredivisie
In addition to that you will get an extra 34 fully licensed club teams from across the world:
Bayern Muenchen
Anderlecht
Club Brugge
Dinamo
Copenhagen
HJK Helsinki
Olympiacos
Panathinaikos
AEK Athens
Rosenborg
WisBa Krakow
Benfica
Porto
Sporting Lisbon
Spartak Moscow
Lokomotiv Moscow
Celtic
Rangers
Red Star Belgrade
AIK Solna
Hammarby
Helsingborg
Goeteborg
Be_ikta_
Fenerbahce
Galatasaray
Dynamo Kiev
Basel
Boca Juniors
River Plate
Internacional
Sao Paulo
Newcastle United
Tottenham Hotspur
The international teams remain the same as in PES6 except that Isreal replace Latvia.
The Fully liecesed international teams are:
Ghana
Ivory Coast
Croatia
Greece
Ireland
Portugal
Scotland
Turkey
Brazil
Australia
Japan
South Korea
Czech Republic
England
France
Italy
Netherlands
Spain
Sweden
Argentina
This promises to be extra special with the introduction of 'Teamvision'. This should keep the AI in the game fresh and also make sure the game doesn't get stale too soon(not that it will anyway!).
Anyway, this game is gonna be awesome. Go go go, buy it!
BRILLIANT November 19, 2007

This game is by far the best football game ps2 has to offer. Once again the latest pro evo in the series sweeps aside fifa with its brilliant game play that feels and looks like football. The life-like graphics are still unbelievable making more players look like the real ones. People always criticize the kits but the fact is if they weren't licenced you wouln't be able to alter or update them. So what if they are missing a few symbols or words it still looks and feels brilliant!!!
Best since PES 4 October 27, 2007

Great game ! Graphics have improved and I found it a lot better than the disappointing PES 6.
New modes, such as 'World Tour' add to the already great depth in PES.
Beats Fifa hands down yet again 10/10
