Later in the review, I will make it clear whether the pro evolution 360 is a failed or successful soccer game. Well what actually do you expect from the X360 version, will be like its competitors play station 3 and wii.
How did I get in contact with the game? Well that is a very nice question. I have been hearing about the pro evolution 2007 on these new generation consoles and thought that it would be masterpiece to compare with its predecessors like the first X box and PS2 version. When I got in contact with this game, I never saw the console rather I took it for play station 2 initially and was about to live the arena where the game was being played. Oh that's pro evo ps2 that was what I said to the hearing of the freaks playing the stuff. But I turned back on the game later to get a response from one of the players by saying you got it all wrong, this is the almighty and the long awaited pro evolution with a smile on his face. I turned back to have a second look at the game well never had the prying eyes at the first instance. You mean this and went back in silence
for about 10 minutes before interrogating the game and the players.
You mean this I said in response. You serious and later saw the console and that was the X360 with the glowing green power light on the middle. Then became more observant and saw the slight difference between it and the predecessors
IS THE PRO EVO X360 VERSION A FAILED SOCCER GAME?
Well let me start from the game play. The game play without being told has almost all the same features with the previous versions. Well Konami have the genius game formulae no question about that. But what still baffles me is the inability for konami to change their game formulae. Ball tussles slow, players running still slow, dribbling now difficult do to the same slow game play. Well I know on where konami missed the track.
I want to make it clear, let a video game be a video game, we all know that this is a video game but konami want to make humans into these games.
Back to the game play. Scoring is now a thing of chance and excessive hard work and their goalies does not like to be scored.
I have to give the game 5 out of 5 stars in graphics no doubt. There are some included animations in the game like interactions between players while in the field of play but what I don't actually know is whether it creates impacts in the field of play. What I will actually blame konami for is their over ambition to make the game a real life stuff and there by denying the real game entertainment from genres. Another difficult task in the game is ball tackling. This is not that easy although players in the game seem to have weak body balance, but the referee is there to protect tackle of all sought. But tacking the ball has now revealed that more players now have poor body balance and the way player are being knocked off from the ball is quite annoying.
There are many modes in the game like the master league mode, the ordinary league mode and the versus mode. The master league mode consists of playing with numerous licensed teams like the Italian seria A, the Spanish league and so on.
Well to compare that with FIFA, FIFA has more licensed teams including other continental leagues outside Europe like the Mexican first division league. But that is not the case with this. In the master league tournament, you are allowed to create your own team and select the team you will play with.
Lets come to commentary; don't expect much from their commentary and that has been the tradition with all pro evolution commentaries. The commentary well is fairly better off to compare to other versions. But all the same slow and dull commentary.
Well let me have that excuse that I dint see or play the game with the recommended HD television. The HD will only make the graphics more advanced but it does not change the game play instead. So what I am interested in is the game play so the HD tele recommendation does not change anything to me.
Lets give the above-asked question about pro evolution X360 of being a failed game. Actually it is not and not discouraging any recommendations from any one but one clear thing about recent pro evolution releases is that there must be pronounced or rather prominent flaws.
The game has very poor ball tussle with sluggish animations, which at the end tends to rip off the player with the least body balance.
The aspect where I will give the game 5 out of 5 stars is the sound effects category. When the ball is being kicked, the sound effects give good representations as well as the ball bounces. Another aspect is the individual ball control, which is marvelous with good and realistic graphical representation and that is it.
I have to put it this way that FIFA is now competing strongly with Konmai in every thing, both in game play, game graphics and commentary. And not only that, fifa has more variety of teams to chose from than pro evolution.
Let me put an end to the negative criticism, pro evolution soccer is a game to recommend any day any time despite the flaws so. But in terms of teams, there are varieties of teams to choose from and so on.
