Pro evolution soccer (PES) 2009 is a football computer game spread across several different platforms- I have the xbox 360 version so my review will be based on that although I don't believe there to be much difference between this and the PS3 version. The Pros--- The game is quite realistic, players think like real players (although they don't look like them), the controls are smooth, and you will never score the same goal twice! It now feature the champions league licence--- although this is quite a boring league and a lot of the teams playing in it don't have licensing so you find your self being bored! The replay system has also been revamped making this a lot smoother and free.
If you have a webcam for your 360 there is a continuing feature from PES 2006 which lets you take a picture of your face and stick it on a player... this is awesome and great fun for creating a team of all your mates- its great watching your name score a goal and then you zoom in and its actually YOU! PES has always been known for its unique master league and to be honest the format here still hasn't changed at all- which is a little bit annoying but it has developed enough to keep it very enjoyable and very addictive!
The most fun you can have of PES though is if you have xbox live--- you can play anyone from across Europe and this makes the game very very addictive; you will find yourself playering 10 or 20 games a day! Watch out though as some players are really good and you may get frutrated lol! It also has a copy of last years FIFA game when you 'become a legend' by controlling only one player on the pitch... this is fun for a bit but then gets frustrating when you never get the ball. It does add a new dimension but a poor one.
The Cons--- I still find it very annoying that a massive game that makes as much money as the PES series hasnt got all the licenses, this is irratating as it takes the fun out of player certain team, certain players, and the leagues. A lot of players look nothing like their reallife counterparts- you would expect the powerful game engine of the xbox360 to handle this so where is the problem? With the crappy manufacturing!
Also the xbox live games are extremely laggy if you dont have a high connection speed- I play on a 10mg broadband line and I still get lag spikes all the time!!
It doesn't have many cons, the problem is the pluses have simple problems... Yes it's a good game to play with mates but frankly its not improving enough. PES 2006 is almost identical and it wasn't even made with the xbox360 in mind... PES needs to sort it out and quickly because this years FIFA is BETTER!
7/10 Still a good game but needs a make over!
