Advantages: The silky gameplay and the smoothness of the game itself explains why many people see this series of games as the best ever created. Disadvantages: however, the game is not perfect quite yet. The players are not as detailed as they are on FIFA, and the lack of all the correct licenses for player names and team names (though improved on the last game) can get annoying.

The gameplay itself is amazing, hard to believe but it is much better than Pro Evolution Soccer 3.

Shooting is improved again aswell, after a few games I managed to score a 35 yard lob with Zidane, the clinical ...

Advantages: Slick and smooth gameplay Disadvantages: Lack of official licenses and real player names, graphics not as good as FIFA
Pro Evolution soccer 4 is now commonly found in second hand sections of Game and Cash Converters, at a more than reasonable £10. For this reason, I thought I would write a review to raise awareness!

However, this doesn't detract from what a good game it actually ... ...can. But beyond that, Pro Evolution Soccer 4 becomes immensely involving.

Main Review
------------------
Take this game into account. Compare it to the 3 previous PES games. I bet you didn't think it could improve on PES3, right?
Wrong. It takes it by the shoulders, shakes it about and throws it out the window. PES4 is quite simply the best football game ever created. It's realism of player movements, of passing, of just about everything is matched by no other game in existence.
The only word to describe PES4 is brilliant. ... ...a large number of players don't have their real names and teams don't have proper kits or names. But the acclaimed Edit feature sorts this out, allowing you to rename and create everything to your satisfaction. You can even create your own custom team full of custom-made players. It's superb.
Gameplay

Second to none. Truly stunning, the players move exactly how they would in real-life, the passes are executed and collected realistically ...

Pro evolution soccer 4 is one of the best football games that i have ever played, the game play is great and is the best thing about this game. But the game is not perfect some teams and players don't have the right names but that would be the only flaw in the game.

This has been proclaimed with honours after the embarrassing release of fifa streets which has only emphasised just how much fifa has slipped and elevated pes to new heights.

If you've played Pro Evolution Soccer before then you'll know exactly what to expect - intuitive gameplay, excellent graphics, superb animation and lots of in-depth managerial features.

...so I decided to give pro evo a go. I have never looked back since.
Pro Evolution Soccer 4(PES4) is withouth doubt the greatest football game on the market. It is the closest you can come to playing football without having to don boots and shinpads. PES4 excels with its ultra-smooth gameplay which is incredibilly realistic. The gameplay is so good because of many things. One attribute is the way that each individual player has a different playing ... ...The commentary on Pro Evo is not the best and sometimes I have resorted to turning it off. I have found that sometimes the commentary is said a little too late after the action has happened on the pitch which sounds unproffesional. Another downside to the game is the lack of licensing which seems to be the only thing holdin Pro Evo back from being the best-selling football game. It does have some kits such as the Serie A teams and also La Liga teams ...

Advantages: Amazing realism, smooth gameplay, great replay value, good for boasting! Disadvantages: Official licences for players missing, terrible commentary
...you now get a pseudo pro zone section, showing you how you scored the goals you've just seen replayed seconds before. Similarly, providing a wealth of information about the humidity and temperature of Stamford Bridge seems rather superfluous.
Value for money?
I bought this game for full price £30 when it first came out as I'm already a keen fan of the series but now you can pick it up for as little as £15 in some places!! An amazing bargain
Conclusion
