Is it really the Thierry Henry of football gaming? 19/12/2004

User recommends the product

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.

Background Long ago when bumbags were seen as cool and boyzone were topping the charts, there was only one real contender in the market of football games, and that was FIFA. However, things have changed (you might just say things have evolved), and pro evolution soccer from konami has not only stepped up to the plate to compete, but is also seeming to be the winning product. How have they done it? what makes this game so much better than FIFA? and, the question you all want the answer to, is it worth the £35 i've been saving up since I got that one-off job at a strip bar for a night? All these ... more

Advantages If you have a broken leg or you are old you can still play football !
Disadvantages may destroy relationships, deteriorating social life

History A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (Japan) some crazy Japanese people sat around a table and decided they should make a football game. These crazy people are responsible for changing football gaming as we know it on a computerised scale at least. Starting off as Hyper Soccer on the NES and then carrying on as ISS (international superstar soccer) on the Super Nes, Megadrive, and finally splitting into ISS and Pro Evolution in the next generation of consoles until we work our way finally up to the latest and greatest offering which sits in front of us today. Along the way the ... more

It is worth the wait. 17/10/2004

User recommends the product

Advantages Smooth and realistic gameplay, better than previous realeases, x-box live add on.
Disadvantages Commentary is awful, lacks the presentation of FIFA 2005

Being a part time games tester I spend a bit of time playing games that are due for release a few months down the line. One of the games I have always liked is the Pro Evolution Soccer series, and I was particulary looking forward to the X-Box version. I am delighted to say it is worth the wait, it is very smooth and detailed, graphics are a touch more classy than the PS2 release and it has the X-Box live option. Unfortunatley, I was unable to test the live option but I will go into detail as to why this must be the football game to own this Christmas. Konami has added more club teams in PES4 ... more

PRO EVO STEALS FIFA'S CROWN? 03/03/2006

User recommends the product

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! With the release of the 5th Pro Evolution Soccer, the inevitable has happened and its predecessor has dropped radically in price. Most places will no longer sell you it new, especially online. However, this doesn't detract from what a good game it actually is. THE GENERAL IDEA: Its a football game, so you pick a side, put 11 players on the pitch and kick a ball into the other teams net as many ... more

From 2 dots to this........ 10/05/2005

User recommends the product

Advantages Superior gameplay, great fun
Disadvantages you might get hooked

Once upon a time not so long ago 2 dots or lines on a screen and a little ball going across the screen. Hit the dot with the line and try to stop your opponent from doing the same. Sounds simple doesn't it. But that was gaming not so long ago. I thought that once I turned fifty gaming would be of no more interest to me. How wrong I was. After suffering from depression a few years back my son got me into playing football on his playstation to try and help me. Since then we've played many games of football on many different formats. FIFA 2000 etc. We are currently playing as MARDON ATHLETICO ... more

The beautiful game, but better. 25/02/2005

User recommends the product

Advantages Best football game ever to be produced, bar none.
Disadvantages Not completely fully licensed

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. The only con about this game is the fact that a large number of players don't have their real names and teams don't have proper kits or names ... more

07/08/2005

User recommends the product

Advantages Great fun to play and great graphics.
Disadvantages Some teams and players have the wrong name.

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. The game is alot of fun to play and the graphics are great, the best thing about this game is not the matches but it's edit you can change anything you want like players names, teams names, players ability, players apperance, what teams players play for, teams kits and starting line ups. Although some of the players names and teams ... more

Another year, another footy game... 03/03/2005

User recommends the product

Advantages Best. Football. Game. Ever.
Disadvantages Lack of official licenses.

I wasn’t sure if Konami really needed to publish another Pro Evolution Soccer game, as I still couldn’t stop playing Pro Evolution Soccer 3. I know, it’s only a football game, but it has something that will keep you coming back as soon as you turn off your console. The surprise was to see just how improved Pro Evolution Socer 4 was compared to PES3. Let’s start with the graphics. They are now so much smoother than before, and the player likenesses are now even better than before. The new licensed kits look great, as they are perfectly reproduced in the game without losing definition. Oh ... more

Not the best football game ever? Pes off! 29/05/2005

User recommends the product

Advantages Fantastic gameplay, best football simulation available
Disadvantages compulsively addictive, past the stage where it is a good thing. lack of licenses.

I think that by now the on going which is better pes or fifa argument has reached an overwhelming conclusion and that is, pes is the best. 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. So is the next in the series as good as its predecessors? You bet, and this review will analyse in depth as to why and what should influence someone to buy it. *GAMEPLAY* For anyone who knows anything about the pes series, they will have noticed that I have saved the best till first ... more

Advantages Greatest football game ever
Disadvantages Commentry, lack of licences

Each year, konami have released another pro evolution soccer game, which is better than all the other football games, and there is no way this game can be improved, but konami have a knack, of creating the best football games ever, and improving on them the next year. Until almost a year ago, when pro evolution soccer 3 came out, I was a huge supporter of the fifa series, now a year on, I have realised that the pro evolution soccer games are the ultimate, most realistic, in depth football games there are. The latest pro evolution soccer game there is pro evolution soccer 4, and guess what ... more
