Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (PS2)

Advantages: very realistic game play, good graphics and numerous leagues.
Disadvantages: lack of license.

...the releases of play station2 pro evolution series; there are not many differences between the previous pro evolution installations and the recent ones. But all the same, thanks to konami for their brilliant soccer installations full of brilliant game plays and artificial intelligence. As usual, I will not fail to recommend this to pro evolution hard-core fans because if I fail to do so, then I have failed to pass very vital information among pro ...
...Obviously, as a pro evo fan that has been playing the previous installation, there are many similarities in the game plays but with some slight differences. So if you have not seen the game, you can equally visualize the game play of the previous pro evolution installation that you have been playing. What actual make up the thin line between this recent and previous installation? First I have to start up with the graphics by saying that there is ... Read review

Advantages: Game play, reality, graphics, skills, cup modes, master league
Disadvantages: Lack of official licenses and teams.

...an avid fan of the pro evolution franchise for many years now and eagerly await any new release as if it were christmas. So every October the prospect of a new edition of this delightful game fills me and many of my friends with joy, taking entire days off university / work and all other responsibilities to wet our appetites with what is always an unbelivable game. I've waited until now (November 18th) to review this game as it would be unfair to ...
...it remains very similar to pro evolution 6, but a few minutes in you'll becime aware of the changes. The commentary is noticably less irritating, the layout of menus is a breath of fresh air and the new updated teams, kits, players and statistics make it an essential purchase for any past fan. Probably the highlight for me however is the new European championships mode on the cup menu where you are able to select a team and take them through the ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent graphics, better commentary then Pro Evo 6
Disadvantages: Still licence issues

I am a lifelong Pro Evo fan - owning every single release dating back to the original, and knew that I had to buy this new release. After purchasing Pro Evo 2008 last year, I instantly knew that Konami had bettered themselves, even after the success of Pro Evo 6. Once you load the game and get to the starting screen, you will be pleased to see that the menu's are better laid out and the different options are more accessible. The game is better updated ...
...buy any game in the Pro Evo series. As for the game modes, there is no real difference between this release and the previous one. I felt that if this game was lacking anything, it would be the fact that there were no new game modes. In-game play is fairly similar to Pro Evo 6 in my opinion but there are noticable improvements. Graphics are slightly more realistic and look more fluid. The one huge improvement lies in the commentary, with the words ... Read review

Advantages: One of the greatest multiplayer sports games of all time.
Disadvantages: May end up taking over the night

...was new to the whole Pro Evo thing until this game came out. In fact, my PS2 was boxed up under my bed ready to be sold as I thought I had out grown the whole computer game thing. Well, this game changed that. After ending up at a mates house a for a few nights out with his PS2, this game and a few beers I felt that I just had to get it myself. The reason for this is that it is a fantastically enjoyable game (particularly in a group situation), ...
...keep you entertained for hours. I got my copy for £20 and was half expecting that it would sit in my room under the TV until I had people round and then it would be brought out for a few games and put away. However this is about as far from the truth as could happen. I found myslef playing alone as well, as the single player mode is almost as much fun. Without going through all the ins and outs of what you can do in this game I will sum it up simply. ... Read review

Advantages: Gameplay graphics, Ai, design
Disadvantages: License

I think this game has great gameplay and graphics. It's a great game and i recommend it. One of the biggest down points is the licensing, Since the greatest league in the world (The Premiership) is not fully licensed it's a big down from me on that point. However don't let that put you off, It has a great new AI system where it basically adapts to your gameplay. The graphics are pretty good and it's value for money however it could still improve ...
