Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (Xbox 360)

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 ...
...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 ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (Xbox 360)

...difference in this version of Pro Evolution Soccer is the addition of the champions league and the new licensed teams. Manchester United and Liverpool are the fully licensed teams this year. The gameplay is still slow but also deliberate. There are more ways to play the game witch includes Become A Legend, you play as one player on the pitch making your way through the ranks of your club and moving between clubs throughout your career. Designing ...
...football game comes out, the Pro Evolution Soccer versus FIFA, I am a Pro Evolution Soccer fan myself. Playing this game though is starting to change my way of thinking, it is nowhere near its rivals graphics. FIFA have also started to catch up on the gameplay side, they have also introduced some new game modes. For all the arguing though I think they both have room on the shop shelves. The Pros are the new modes, the graphics and the realism of ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (Xbox 360)

...would have tried to improve Pro Evolution 2009 so it could compete with Fifa. Like a loyal idiot I thought surely they would have made a few good additions and improved the online play. To be honest they haven`t. I never thought Fifa would be better than PES but it is now. Unlike on the PS2 the great game play is gone; it is frustrating playing this game. You never feel like you are controlling the players and it is not as addictive as the seasons ...
...generation has been bad for Pro Evolution Soccer and Fifa is better in nearly every way. The online play is still miles worse than Fifa. Most of the names are still unlicensed but there are more licensed teams than last year. The game play is too fast and the passing is not that accurate. If next season Konami cannot get their act together they will probably go and all we will have left is Fifa and they will not improve much because there is no competition. ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (Xbox 360)

The Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) series is legendary. A legacy stretching back to the Playstation 1 of great football games, now is a damaged legacy due to recent releases. Why? Up till PES5 on the Playstation 2, Konami could do little wrong. The pure football simulation they offered was great year after year, and solidified their deboted fanbase. On release of the XBOX 360, Konami had to create for the new wave of next-gen consoles, which resulted ...
...Then came the flawed PES2008, and now PES2009. From the start, PES2009 disappoints. The presentation of menus is as needlessly confusing as it ever was, making navigation tedious. Then when you go to play a game, teams do not have their most recent transfers (i.e. Berbatov to Man Utd) which is not a disaster, but something you expect to not happen. The FIFA series always has updated teams, why not PES? PES2009 also has fewer licensed teams than ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (Xbox 360)

Graphic is much more better than in the previous versions of the game. Gameplay is good but you can be bored after some 500 matches. Commentary in my opinion is not on the level of the whole game. Also it lacks full team and players names. New type of play, which is: become a legend is something new but I don't find it really good. It is boring and playing the whole game with one player is in some way different from the idea of team game like football. ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (Xbox 360)

...with any other Pes game, Pro evolution 2009 is an enjoyable and exciting football game. For the Pes purest, there is no question that Pes 2009 is the greatest football game available. The gameplay remains loyal to the Pes format, with game modes such as master league, international cup and training. New features however, include the challenging yet extremely awarding 'be a legend' mode which allows the gamer to control the career path of an individual ...
...For followers of the Pes series, however, Pes 2009 is frustrating. Online gameplay has been improved yet remains poor and laggy in comparison to its main rival, fifa 2009. Similarly, FIFA 2009 provides many more online features, although these do require extra purchases to be made. In my opinion, Pes 2009 is an extremely enjoyable game, particularly when played with friends in offline mode and from my experience is a must for any student. Pes 2009 ...

PES 2009 is comfortably the best soccer video game in the world at this moment.

There are a few new features in PES 2009: There are brand new modes such as the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE MODE, THE BECOME A LEGEND MODE, AND THE LEGENDS MODE. On the Uefa Champions League mode you have the chance to take on the elite of European Football, ...
