Advantages: Best football game available, ulra realistic, excellent graphics Disadvantages: Poor commentary, Lack of real player names in some leagues
Pro Evolution Soccer 4 IS the greatest football game of all time (until PES 5 is released on 21/10/05).
Having played the Pro Evolution Soccer series since it's inception on PS2 the 4th installment is undoubtebly the best of them all. It is the closest thing to real football you can get from a games console. The gameplay is superb with every game providing a new challenge. The simpler difficulty levels make it easy to pick up and play if you are ... ...gameplay and this is why Pro Evolution Soccer 4 is the greatest of all football games. The superb gameplay is well complemented by the crisp graphics and presentation with the big game atmosphere only being let down by the rather poor commentary from Peter Brackley (of Football Italia fame) and Trevor Brooking. The thing that really illustrates the calibre of this game is that a hard fought 1 -0 win is often more satisfying than a bigger victory ...

Advantages: lots of teams, some liscenses, great gameplay Disadvantages: no english liscense, rubbish commentary
...it is an improvement on Pro Evo 3. The commentary on Pro Evo 4 is still well behind the likes of Fifa 2005 but still is much better than that in Fifa Street(see my review)
*Graphics* 4/5
The graphics in this game are very good. While they sometimes can be seen as blurred they are still top notch, for PS2 anyways. The graphics in terms of depthness and detail are probably not as good as Fifa 2005 or Fifa Street but are still very good, and I feel ... ...5/5 (basically constant play until Pro Evo 5)
This game has a infinitive lifespan (until around October when Pro Evo 5 is out). To win all the cups it will take you a very long time, and if you have mates who like the game you will always be playing it. Even though I have a more recent footy game, Fifa Street, I still spend the majority of time playin Pro Evo 4 with my mates.
A top class game ...

Advantages: Best footy game ever, excellent playability and graphics. Disadvantages: Awful commentary.
...big seller this Christmas with Pro Evolution Soccer. If you’re becoming all flustered wandering why they’ve abandoned the ISS games –don’t! Pro Evo is just the new name on top of what is essentially ISS 2 for the PS2 so essentially this is ISS 2. Kick Off: It becomes apparent almost immediately just how much has changed since last year’s release of ISS. There were quite a few elements that seemed somehow unfinished. Just cast your mind back to the ... ...commentary. In Pro Evo the menus have had a total overhaul and now sport a clever music score that changes as you view different pages. Not only are all of the featured stadia full of life now – there are also new selections. Graphics are overhauled dramatically and no longer will you see limbs appearing out of other players’ chests during goal celebrations (more on graphics later). Commentary, well, that’s as bad as ever but we’ll get to that shortly. ...

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 is ... ...that FIFA is better than Pro Evo is a nutcase.
If this applies to you, do not read on, my words are not for your eyes, therefore, do not post any sarcastic comments as they will not be taken heed of!

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!

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.

At first glance the games title screen looked a flashy version of it's PS1 predecessor. However once into the game , it felt just great. Anyone who has played ISS will be familiar with the controls and it's pick up and play feel has not changed. This game is designed for new players and experienced gamers alike.
Graphically it may not be in FIFA or TIF2002's league , but pretty graphics do not make a game on it's own. ISS always gives you the ...

In the game setup it gives you lots of features to choose including ...

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 off ... ...be changed for the next pro evolution soccer. I feel this is a big problem what the game has and it puts many people off the game as thay can not understand who they are playing as.

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!

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 ... ...is not as goof as Pro Evo 4 when it came out but would still keep you interested. I think the main importance of it is that you would still be playing this in a few months, opposed to other games when it takes a few weeks before the novelty wears off.
My Conclusion: A good game but needs a bit of working on. Quite addictive and the Master League will leave you at the edge of your seat! ...

...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, ... ...The first football game I bought on PS2 was ISS,foolishly believing that it would at least be somewhere near the quality of ISS '98 on N64. I don't really expect many of you to have played ISS '98, firstly because its 4 years old and secondly because it was on the N64 which nobody bought.

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 ... ...tournament similar to the World Cup but not all of the teams that made it to Japan and Korea are included in the game).

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 ... ...want you can choose the difficulty level of the opponents and choose the amount of time a match is.
The thing I really like about this game is the graphics and the gameplay.
The graphics are good as the players are really realistic so you can tell if its David Beckam or Michael Owen.
The gameplay is excellent because you can sprint,do through balls,volley the ball and even control the power of your shot.

as to where they want him to run by clicking in the open space. However, it's what happens with your teammates that will prove to be the defining moment of this latest PES. Users will be able to click on other members of their side and tell them where to run, to perform one-two passes or make them create space by dragging away defenders.It will be possible to manipulate as many players as you can quickly get control of to make set pieces become a vital part of the attacking play. Make forwards run across goal, defenders will spin and attack the back post while the towering striker makes a dart for the near post - all of which is controlled by you.The game will automatically detect the type of pass you want to make depending on the distance the player you want to pass to is standing. If you point for a pass to a player on the other side of the pitch, the game will loop a high ball over. Likewise, if you chip a ball into space, you can then grab the nearest player and move him towards it.New gameplay modes have been added, including the Champions Road option. Players get the opportunity to train sub standard team and then play off against other teams online.
