Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (PS2)

...subtle tweaks and refinements to Pro Evo each year is usually a simple process. It's like getting used to driving a new car; at first it feels foreign and uncomfortable but within minutes your muscle memory aligns itself to the new norm. This year, Konami has ripped the metaphorical gear stick out of Pro Evo's cockpit and bolted it to the roof. I'll drop the bombshell in the first paragraph and get it out of the way - they've nearly ruined it. Nearly. ...
...I accuse Konami of 'breaking' Pro Evo every year until I finally concede they know better (such as killing off the all-conquering through-ball), I invested a lot of playing time to arrive at the conclusion that these changes were indeed a step too far. Worse still, this hasn't been countered by introducing much needed and long overdue improvements in other key areas. Balance and reward are the cornerstones upon which the series is built. On any given ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (PS2)

...battle of the PS2 giants: Pro Evolution Soccer versus Fifa. I hope this review will really help you decide on which game you should get, or even if you should get both like I have. I have gone for the question and answer format, which really seemed to work well in my 'Fifa World Cup 2006 (PS2)' review. I hope you enjoy reading my 50th review!!!!!!! SO, FIRST IMPRESSIONS… So, I wake up on the Friday morning, and remember that it is finally the day ...
...WHAT'S IT LIKE COMPARED TO PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER 5? The first thing I noticed in my first game is the way that the players trap, run and generally use the ball. I think that altogether it looks so much more realistic that PES 5. The players just seem to do what they would do in real life, where in PES 5, the players didn't seem to do everything as they would do if it were to happen in real life. I also found that it was easier to get past an opponent ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (PS2)

Pro Evolution Soccer 6 is actually the *tenth* installment of Konami's hit football series. Winning Eleven publishes every summer in Japan, is then localized and optimized, renamed and shipped here to Europe, only to go through the same procedure again in order to find its way to American stores as "World Soccer: Winning Eleven [Number]". Even if incessant touring like this hampers the likes of Real Madrid, it apparently works just fine for PES as ...
...than the impeccably presented FIFA, Pro Evolution will not have to worry about coming in first to the educated football fan's heart for at least one more year. ***The Gameplay*** There is one thing and one thing only that sets Pro Evolution apart and makes it the choice game for virtually all video-game-football competitions: the incredible gameplay. Thankfully, since this is football we are dealing with, that is what it all really comes down to. ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (PS2)

...when I was introduced to Pro Evolution Soccer. The first one I ever played was PES 3 and I have been a big fan of the games since! What really got me interested was just how realistic the game is to play. It's almost like you can use all your football knowledge, techniques and tactics and apply them to the game. Anyone who understands football and how to create chance will do well. When you play PES 6 for the first time, you get an instant sense ...
...that there is something new and exciting about it. After playing the game a few times you pick up on the new features and game play enhancements that weren't there in previous installments. You also discover new skills and tricks. There are more official clubs than ever before, including Manchester United and Arsenal. The main new features are: Slow dribble: This clever function allows a player to run with the ball. The ball will hardly leave the ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (PS2)

Preferable to PES 5, but how does it fare against number four? PASSING There is not enough pace behind the passes, and space is never utilised as it should be thus there's a lack of flow to play. The pitch feels slow. Passing angles are fairly natural. At times, the game still struggles to read where I am wanting to make the pass, but a lack of intelligence means that possession is being lost through passes which nobody in the right mind would ...
...momentum taken out of an attack because the player opted to spread the play well wide with the through-ball rather than send a team-mate "through". When I want to encourage an attack I play a through-ball instead of a standard pass, but when I see it go backwards it is not right. Unfortunately the passing options from the set-pieces are strictly limited, as they are with the newly implemented 'Quick Free Kicks', and are so that the latter has no ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (PS2)

...the praises from the previous pro evolution installations by fans, they have been using almost the same formula in other installations. But If I may ask, don't we need some thing entirely different? Yes we pro evolution fans do need some thing different although the game play is still like the previous versions. Not trying to put the fact that the pro evolution 6 is not a masterpiece of its own but we need some changes in game. Lets take EA FIFA ...
...of trying to out play pro evolution soccer. The point and the question still lie in the game, what's new in the game? Some criticism has been going along the air about the hard game play. Yes I have to agree with critics over the issue. Yes the game play has been made difficult and some factors contribute to it. In the previous pro evolution versions, the game play is quite easy and user friendly but in this current pro evolution 6, you don't take ...

...play with good graphics, the pro evolution soccer 6 has given soccer its real and desired shape with sufficient teams to use including countries and clubs. It is also capable of displaying individual game skills just as it is in other pro evolution soccer games. Well a lot of comparisms has been going between this and fifa and from the last review that I read about this soccer some people seem to compare this with the fifa games and from what is ...
...and not imaginable unlike komami pro evolutions that really is working towards making video game soccer a real life entertainment game. Well I have to be fair with fifa they also have a very good game graphics and game play but in terms of game level, even in the difficulty level, you don’t seem to get the real game play of the cpu and that keeps me off because I love soccer games that really displays the real game play of the computer and it really ...

Let the review start. Fellow pro evolution fans or rather players, I am putting up this review in a way ...

But if you are not a pro evolution fan and willing to join, you are free to read and enjoy the review but later in the review, you read up the recommendations because it is specifically for new comers and people that are willing to join the chorus. Well we all know the history of pro evolution and how it all started, right from the pro evolution 3 installation to this current ...

...like why not get a pro evo instead of fifa all the time. So I was hoping for Christmas I would get the game. So It was Christmas eve and my parents were bringing all the presents downstairs to put under the tree and I was hoping one of them would be Pro Evolution Soccer 6(PES6). Well the next morning which was Christmas day I was really excited. Well I opened some of my presents when I came to opening one that looked like a PS2 game and was hoping ...
...and saw that indeed it was PES6 I jumped up and down with join that I finally got it. Well once I opened all the rest of my presents I had a go on it and it was ok. ~~~Graphics~~~ In my opinion the graphics are ok they are not great. Well when you tackle a player sometimes your leg goes through the other players leg. But most of the time it doesn't. In the stands fans wave their flags. I'm always arsenal as I'm an arsenal supporter. The fans all ...

...definitely not soccer game because Pro Evolution = Football. I am definitely too right with saying its football that plays very well indeed whether it's played on a weekend, early morning, rainy day, during the night, on your own, or with friends. Pro Evolution is the type of game you play on Playstation 2. I had thus started my first match this morning you see because I don't have anything nicer to do. Thursdays are very similar to the best days ...
...reviewing the gameplay - In Pro Evo 6 you must remember not to leave your keeper outside the box, if your to lead the ball from your oppositions feet, you must pay attention, push your foot from the outside and don't foul!! To pay attention, if you start to take a step upfield your luck will rise, at the edge of the box you will not be able to receive the ball very well you need to score from further away as the outside of the box is not easy to ...

...of year when FIFA and Pro evolution Soccer go head to head to be the game of choice for every single football fan. The trouble is we all know it is not a contest at all and that PES will win hands down. By now the Pro Evolution series has established itself as THE football king. It manages to encapture the true essence and passion of the real game. Nothing can be more satisfying than slaughtering your best mate with a masterclass performance. Mind ...
...with every match, which makes Pro Evo one of the gratest games of all time. So if you are new to PES 6, firstly where have you been for 6 years? and secondly dont waste any more time reading this or any other review, simply just go spend your hard earned cash, trust me you will not be disapointed....... Ok now to everybody else.... I want the focus of this review to concentrate on the subtle new additions and improvements that have been made to ...

This is now possible with Pro ...
...in the pro's and con's pro evo is difficult to master, wasn't sure this was a good or bad thing really, the game as always has more life when playing with friends, take your memory cards and name your option file and get track of who is really best using Memorial match, just be careful if your playing with more than two on this option, there is a risk your name may be overwritten if you don't load up your option file each time, frustrating.

...thing that Fifa has that Pro Evo could learn a few things from - the terribly outdated free kicks, throw ins and corners are still there, and seriously need to be addressed as this is something Fifa has been doing better for years.) It seems stupid to mention this so early on, but this was what, in my opinion, held Pro Evo 5 from perfection. Fifa has finally submitted and done a Pro Evo. In fact the two games are nearly identical now, the huge gap ...
...But then, this year's Pro Evo has kind of done a Fifa. It's more instantly accessible in all ways, the Mini Map has returned. But to be honest, it hasn't changed a bit. The lack of Licensed Teams and Players still stings, we have Manchester United, Arsenal, and all of the real World Cup players, but that's it. The graphics are 0.1 percent better, (still better than Fifa's, in my opinion.) Players now run faster and have more individual first touch ...

...and interest across popular culture, Pro Evolution seems to be charging the way as the top football game. Fifa football - I'll call it FF - is undoubtedly one of the most popular sporting games in history, from the classics on the Sega Mega Drive to the brand new state of the art gameplay on Sony Playstation and x-box 360. Pro Evolution is certainly the franchises main rival, and each year it improves tremendously, and catches up on FF, more people ...
...realism and control the player has on the team they are playing as. Graphics on PES 6 are the best on a football game on the playstation in my opinion, and with more licensed teams, it is no wonder Konami are attracting more and more people. Gameplay - 9/10 For me, the gameplay on PES 6 is better than FF, there is an awful lot more control over how you want to play and how to implement tactics and formations. The game is free flowing, fast paced ...
