Advantages: The best football game ever programmed
Disadvantages: Commentary is rubbish, player names are not licensed

Pro Evolution Soccer Firstly, let me say that this game is not to be confused with ISS Soccer, a mistake that many of my friends and colleagues have made to their dismay. There are two development teams working for the same software company, each focusing on a different game entirely, although only one game is worth the bother. Pro Evolution Soccer is the natural progression for players of ISS Pro Evolution 2 on the original Playstation. It ... Read review

Advantages: The best football game ever made.
Disadvantages: Next years version might be even better!

...has now secured the FIFA PRO license and as a result are now able to use real player names, with a few exceptons. Any names that are not right can be corrected with the player edit options, you can even create your own player, fancy playing alongside Owen in the World Cup or replacing Philip Neville! The commentary has not changed much and is probably the only thing still lacking from this great series of games. The game keeps you coming back for ... Read review

Advantages: Feels like your playing real football. FIFA and This Is Football , your out of here!
Disadvantages: Gamewise nothing .. but like other Playstaion owners , wish the games were a little bit cheaper!!

...after months of anticipation ISS Pro Evolution Soccer has finally arrived on the PS2. The question arises though , do we believe all the hype , or are we going to be like alot of Manchester United supporters when Jaap Stam left the club , bitterly disappointed. As an avid player of the Playstation 1 version , i loaded my disc into my machine with baited breath. Is this game going to kick FIFA 2002 into row Z ?. Am i going to throw This Is Football ...

Advantages: The best football game ever
Disadvantages: Improper player names

...Overall, i would rate Pro Evolution Soccer as one of the best PS2 games in all categories and definitely the best sports game. No true PS2 gamer should be without this superb title. If you dont have it then buy it now. Konami have done themselves proud with this title. Bring on Pro Evolution soccer 2 ! Pro Evolution soccer can be purchased from high street stores for £39.99 or online for £29.99, making it a good purchase. ... Read review

Advantages: fun, challenging, for the family, intense, modern
Disadvantages: dodgey names, gets boring

Pro evolution soccer 4, what a superb game. This game is about playing football and winning trophys to put in the vicory data. Also you have to collect PES points (like money) to collect things like new camera angles or new stadiams. This helps add more interest into the game. However there are many negatives about this game. I find the games graphics quite good but i feel that they could be improved, i find the sound quite good when you start ... Read review

Advantages: Best footy game ever!
Disadvantages: Not enough hours in the day

...This holds true with the Pro evolution but it takes the series to a new level. The gameplay is so fluid and smooth coupled with awesome graphics (although still not as realistic as FIFA)it makes for a superb game of footy. There are a ton of cups and leagues for the solo gamer but its much better played with a group of mates and a case of beer! You can edit most things like kits, players appearance and names so you can tweak the teams and put ... Read review

Advantages: Better looking menus, graphics have improved, Licensed more teams
Disadvantages: Gameplay is a bit slow, game is much more difficult.

The much awaited Pro Evo 5 hit the shops yesterday, with many people rushing out to buy it. I was one of them. As i got back from school i couldn't hold in my excitement. The start up is much the same as Pro Evo 4 The menus look much less childish and they easily look as if they could be out of a FIFA game. They have licensed a few more teams, including Arsenal and Chelsea in the premiership which is a big improvement. I did not like the slowness ... Read review

Advantages: Graphics,Presentation but above all playability
Disadvantages: The commentary is pathetic

...because of its superb playability. Pro Evolution Soccer os from the same company (Konami) but they have surpassed thier old games and EVERY other football game with this. The game just oozes quality all over. The game is so intuitive and more closely replicates the thrill of real football than any other. You see, whilst ISS always played better, the FIFA series always had the edge in terms of presentation and real player names. PES combines both, ... Read review

Advantages: The most realistic football game available
Disadvantages: Does not have enough teams

What can I say about this game that hasn't already been said except that this is the greatest game I have ever played. It may not appeal to fans of FIFA or This is Football as they are arcade style games and PES is most definitely a simulation. It would benefit from more teams and real competitions, as there are only 7 English teams in the game. There are quite a few competitions available that will keep you going, but it would be better if you could ... Read review

Advantages: It has good graphics and is fun to play
Disadvantages: Not proper players for the master league mode

This game is brilliant if your a big fan of football,you have loads of choices of what mode you want to play like the world cup or the master league mode. In the world cup mode you have the ability to choose which opponents you have in your group like the mighty Brazil and France or the minnows like Morroco and Slovakia and in the master league mode you can make transfers by earning points,you get these points by winning matches and scoring loads ...

Advantages: great graphics, more teams, mor epalyers
Disadvantages: doesnt have a fifa licence

This is one of my favourite games in the whole history of the universe.One of the resons for that is how realistic it is, even the ref's give dodgy decisions, it's not like fifa, you cant score 10 goals in 10 seconds here you have to play it the right way with alot of passes to get even near the goal.offcourse is you want it a bit easier than you can allways change the dificulty level too easy or go to the game options menu and edit players so there ...
