game builds on the implementation of Teamvision with additional key advances. As with previous releases since its inception in 1996, the ball is again treated as a...
brings all the realism of Pro Evolution Soccer to the Nintendo machine, but with a more â??team-orientatedâ?? control system. The Wii game mirrors the real sportâ??s use of open space and the exploitation of defensive lapses and accurate passes essential in creating scoring opportunities. The Wii version of PES 2008 expands on these elements, with the use of the Nunchuck and Wii Remote controllers giving the player control over both the player on the ball, and those around him.
Advantages: Good graphics, better referees, slightly improved master league, better Ai Disadvantages: No random selection, flawed gameplay.
...i'm a big fan of Pro Evolution Soccer. I started with Pro Evo 4 and have been enjoying 5 and 6 for a couple of years now. Pro Evo 2008 is the next installment of the series and i have mixed feelings. I'm reviewing the unpatched version. This review is aimed at players of Pro Evolution Soccer 6.
The Graphics:
They are nice, not great but nice. The additions are ok; flagsmen for example can be seen running up and down the touch line, the grass is ... ...you head over the the pro evo fan forums and read some threads. There are also performance issues to take into consideration, if you don't have a decent gamers PC.
Conclusion:
I stopped playing Pro Evo 2008 a few weeks after a brought it, and went back to Pro Evo 6. If you have a powerful computer however and are prepared to download a few patches them you might be able to find a playable game somewhere there. ...

This is a great game i baught this the day it came out the reason i have not given the game 5/5 is because it has not got all the licences for kits and club names although the have got player names now unlike prior PES versions. i love the game it is so addictive and the gameplay is excelent, the players move like they do in real life and you can do so many different skills you can do in real life.
One of the main reason i baught this game is because ... ...friends round all the time you can still play when they are not at your house. you can play them online or any random person online so you can improve. But sadly this is not the case as konami have designed a very bad, online is more or less unplayable. It is so slow and choppy the players and ball dissappears and appears somewere else. IVe been able to play maybe 10% of the time a decent game were it was playable but majority of the time it was ...

Well, being an avid FIFA player for the last 8 years I wasn't as excited about this title as many others were as i had never played a 'pro evo' game in my life! However i didn't know just how wrong i was! This games is immersive, fun and you can pick it... more
Now then, this was the one I'd been waiting for. See, I understand that £50 is a lot to part with for a game (though I saw pre-release copies of this going on eBay for £200 just 2 days before the official release date, which is just daft). But those... more
PES2008 is the latest in the long line of Pro Evolution Soccer games to be produced by Konami. The Konami team had a difficult job to match this height of expectation when creating the next-gen versions of Pro Evolution Soccer, attempting to live up to... more
So, the second best football game ever made gets a release on the PSP. For shame that few remember the gloriously addictive Sensible Soccer (from the halcyon days of the Amiga) as the title would be perfect for Sony's venture into the arena of handheld... more
PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER 6 (PSP)
Doesn't time fly in a Pro Evolution Soccer world? Minutes ago it seemed like the PES automatons had only just purchased version 5 of the titular "better than Fifa" footy smash and already Pro Evolution Soccer 6 is here to... more
Acclimatising to the subtle tweaks and refinements to Pro Evo each year is usually a simple process. It's like getting used to driving a new car; at first it feels foreign and uncomfortable but within minutes your muscle memory aligns itself to the new... more
