Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (PS3)

...a strong follower of the pro evo series and bought this game as soon as it was released despite many people trying to persuade me to go to the 'other side' and buy Fifa. Was this the year that fifa took the lead? I have to say that i am confident i made the right decision and have seen several improvements from last year's game and have enjoyed this game loads, it was certainly worth buying. This game has had many improvements from its predecessor ...
...There are as usual, on pro evo, some great songs from a variety of different bands. I would also like to mention that the commentary in this version is a great improvement from last year and they actually say more relevant things. There are still a variety of modes to choose from including the well loved master league mode where you can start as a team of your choice and play through games as well as being the manager and making team changes and ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (PS3)

...As you all know that Pro Evolution Soccer game never bothers to improve its menu screen it seems a lot unwelcoming. In PES 2008 the fonts are too big, it's a lot colorful, and I think all the options should be on the screen to select, rather than pressing down or up to see the options. Also the soundtracks didn't pick me up. The soundtrack tries to extend variety but is unpleasant throughout the game. Also the commentator, who is Mark Lawrenson, ...

Also I forgot to mention that, I came into knowledge that when creating Konami account for online play, it is registered to you with your info and details. The point is that if you ever want to sell your game, the next person will be unable to play online unless he or she has your registration details. ....................... ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (PS3)

For me, the Pro Evolution Soccer series has been vastly superior to EA's FIFA Football, ever since ISS Pro 98 and I have always championed it as such. Unfortunately, with this latest version for the Playstation 3, it seems that Seabass Takatsuka and his team at KCET have fallen into the same trap as their contemporaries at EA and have failed to eradicate any of the flaws that were becoming prevalent in the last few PS2 versions of the series. The ...
...League, where the player takes a team of their choice and starts off in the second division of a two-tier fictional league system, fighting to gain promotion to the premier division. The foremost issue that fans of the series have always had with this mode is the inability to keep the leagues in line with their real-life counterparts. Whilst this has been improved on slightly, by allowing for twenty teams per division, rather than the previous eighteen, ...

...But those who know the Pro Evolution Soccer series (or PES as it will be known hereafter), they will know that in the long run, it will save you a lot of money, because it takes away your social life. Assuming you spend £20 a weekend on drinks, you can see how much money you save. Anyway, this is the first PES to appear on PS3, and it does so amongst much furore. The PES series inches closer to perfection every year, and given the extra computing ...
...Or can it? No. But I could be lying... PRESENTATION Well, the menus are big, and bold and colourful. But the whole thing is starting to whiff a little of FIFA. It's a bit TOO big and bold and colourful. And the menu music is still so bad it makes me want to take hostages and start killing them. I think the musical choices are supposed to be a "round the world" feel, but it still sounds like lift music. SOUND This may come as a shock to regular ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (PS3)

Where to start with Pro Evolution Soccer 8? I'm sure most of you have heard or asked the question...Pro Evo or Fifa? Don't lie you know that's why you're here! I've generally always bought both Fifa and Pro Evo games, mainly because I couldn't just pick one as they are both excellent in their own ways. I will now attempt to find differences in the games and eventually pick the better one....here goes.... Controls Pro Evolution brings more realism ...
...Some of the players in Pro Evo still look a bit dodgy like they have been hit by a really big hammer and just haven't quite recovered yet. At least Michael Owen has the right coloured body now, he would turn black at random points during Pro Evolution 7 so thats a bonus. Sound The commentators are pretty much the same as Pro Evo 7 so you still get some of those classic phrases but it can be a bit annoying once you've heard them a thousant times. ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (PS3)

Pro Evolution Soccer's debut on Playstation has been an eventful one, but seemingly a disappointing one. The PS3 promised a more powerful console capable of fitting more on a Blu-ray disc than a DVD, with built-in HD movie playback. But despite these appealling technical gimmicks Sony had boasted, the game-play of Pro-Evo 2008 faulters at the most fundamental hurdle for a football game; it's jerky graphics, especially in replays, and regular glaring ...
...bit amateur. The game frequently and inexplicably appears to slow down, meaning a genuine slide tackle for the ball can be misconstrued by the ridiculously harsh referees for a red card offence, hence ruining the match thereafter, just as a red card does in the premiership. In a crowded penalty area quick decision making and accurate shooting are rendered far too difficult. Indeed these drawbacks induce one to change the game settings, adjust the ...

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 of all the bugs and poor designing the ps3 version of this game has. 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 of the online play it has instead of havin your ...

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 impossible for me to play a good game. The offline ...

A big improvement on the previous version of Pes. Editing is back and a few bugs, which appeared in Pes 6, have been fixed (this was down to Microsoft pressuring Konami in releasing the game too soon for the Xbox). ** MENUS ** You get the usual game play offerings, which include Master league for the die-hard player. League, which is a full season but not as demanding in picking players as the master league is. Cup games and exhibitions, which ...
...** NETWORK PLAY ** The game also offers online mode where you can play against opponents from around the world. This is very laggy at the moment but it's early days and hopefully the servers will be improved. Here you can play a quick game against an opponent or a ranked game. The ranked games put you into leagues and the more you win the higher up the leagues you move. The online experience compared to Pes 6 is extremely slow going, from searching ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (PS3)

I'm normally a big fan of the PES series but considering this one the first chance to enjoy the improvements that come with a newer console I was left a little dissapointed. The game is fun and you will enjoy it but there is nothing extra or special to really improve your gaming experience. A real annoyance of mine is the game sometimes will jerk, stop or jump when there is alot of players in the same area. I know this isn't the most important thing ...
...and the quality of the system its being played on these days means that its unacceptable. Being able to put your own face in the game (only if you own eyetoy) is a nice gimmick for fun but doesn't improve your playing experience. One of the more noticable improvements was dribbling, on the previous version I felt it was impossible to go on a long run and score a wonder goal, thankfully whilst not easy you can know pull this off. The graphics are ...

First off il talk about the problems, yes the frame rate drops a bit and the online mode is a nightmare and like every other game in the series there are not a lot of licenseing. Now thats that done. This is a brilliant game and simulates football brilliantly, its the definate gaming experiance for those of you wanting to experiance the real game on your console. Well known individual players play the way you expect e.g. Ronaldo is fast and tricky, ...

...the market for all consoles pro evolution just gets better and better unlike it's main rivals fifa. When i 1st bought this game i was wondering how can konami possibly improve it compared to the previous because that was so realistic but yet again konami has surpassed that and made another gem. The graphics and sound of this game are second to none they are crisp and clear when playing a game of football now the graphics bring to life and make you ...
...Overall this game is a must for any football fan simply pro evolution has taken football sim games to the next level and left fifa it's main rivals behind so football fans what are you waiting for go out and buy the game for the experience of a life time. ...

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008. Probably the next best after pro evolution soccer 5. Well this game's graphic's have to be wow! Might not be all that up to scratch compared to Fifa but there has to be a big improvement on this PS 3 format. But if your a Pro Evo fan I guess graphics dont matter because primarily you are buying this product for gameplay. Well the gameplay is much faster than other pro evo games i have played in the past. This has to be ...
...me want to play Pro Evo than Fifa. The game is more for fun and one which is even better when played with friends/ family. There is also an online feature which allows gamers to play others all around the world. This is very competitive and also very good for when you play your mates in person as it improves your style of playing. From what I heear the online play isnt all that compared to Fifa. But i think it simple and easy to use. Definately ...

With even more realistic graphics and their new and unquie teamvision konami have once again out done themselves. Konami's teamvision allows the computers team to adapt and change to your style of play. This brings a new challenge to the game meaning you have to change your game or risk getting ...

Although this is a good feature allowing you to play other players it does have some disadvantages. Firstly from my experience the game play can jump and stutter. Another disadvantage from the PES08 networking occurs if you buy the game second hand. Each game has a unique registration code and if you buy second hand it could result in you being ...

...yet another gem in the pro evo series and without removing any of the gaming we have come to love, whilst still vastly improving it. Before as a keen Fifa fan, I ignored pro evo, however that is a mistake I came to regret, whereby I found this to be superior to fifa in all but one thing, team names. Fifa hold the rights for most of the names of teams + players, however Konami are slowly securing them for the game but none the less, its not to botherin ...
...pro evo, added to this small lil touches of pure genious like diving and shirt pulling, help to create a realistic football match. Great variety in games to play too, with Exibition, all competitive cups and to test your skills against an all star league in Master league, all round a well designed game. ...
