Sensible Pro Evolution Soccer!

Advantages: It's Pro Evolution Soccer, in handheld format for crying out loud...
Disadvantages: Some long loading times and a lack of a Master League likely to put some fans off...

...So, the second best football game ever made gets a release on the PSP. For shame that few remember the gloriously addictive Sensible Soccer (from the halcyon days of the Amiga) as the title would be perfect for Sony's venture into the arena of handheld and portable gaming. Small, compact and simple, the endeavour would surely make the most out of the platform given the power of the PSP. Instead we have Pro Evolution Soccer, Konami's yearly updated monster for the Playstation 2, which in many ways is akin to playing virtual football. A fantastic game by all accounts, but, given the range and depth of the football on show - including numerous cup competitions, individual player data, the much loved Master League and barnstorming realism in the graphics department - its conversion to the PSP would seem as tricky as a FA Cup third round away...

Celebratory Pro Evolution Soccer 6

Advantages: Flawless Gameplay, Unrivalled Multiplayer
Disadvantages: Unlicensed Teams, Accustomization Difficulty

...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 it just keeps getting better and better. Although it is forever doomed to sell less 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...

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008

Advantages: Strong graphics, good gameplay, wide spectrum of AI
Disadvantages: Poor online capabilities, still lacking a fully licencsed lineup

...The PES series of football games are often said to be the best of the bunch, with game play better than FIFA games, even if the graphics aren't quite up to scratch and at the cost of all the teams not being licensed. Well PES 2008 is a good game, no doubt about that, and being the first next gen PES, it had high expectations to live up to. Well the graphics in the game are certainly good enough for next gen, with players moving with greater fluidity and more naturally than the previous outing, PES 6, and theres a fair few teams too, however compare it with the latest FIFA outing, and it seems distinctly average. The Premiership remains unlicensed, apart from player names, and not even all the international teams have the correct player names, however we have come to expect that from PES games so lets put that aside and focus...

A Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 Experience

Advantages: Re-playability, Various gameplay modes, More realistic, Improved graphics
Disadvantages: Can become slightly addictive

...I will admit to not having owned the entire series of Pro Evolution Soccer games. However, I have played all of them since 2005 and I sincerely believe that they have improved in those four years. As the title of the game suggests, it is a soccer game. The user can play in a variety of gameplay modes. The various modes create a sense of challenge and allow the user to do almost anything they want, within the confines of the game. Since the beginning of the Pro Evolution Soccer series, there has definately been an improvement in the graphics. Notably, the game has also become more realistic, making the signings of new players harder to accomplish and making the gameplay a far closer representation of the modern day football match. The audio commentary during the actual matches that the user plays are a particular favourite part...

Pro Evolution Soccer Review

Advantages: New graphics, New game modes, Realism
Disadvantages: No licences, Slow internet play, Referees

...This years edition offers more in the graphics department . The difference in this version of Pro Evolution Soccer is the addition of the champions league and the new licensed teams. Manchester United and Liverpool are the fully licensed teams this year. The gameplay is still slow but also deliberate. There are more ways to play the game witch includes Become A Legend, you play as one player on the pitch making your way through the ranks of your club and moving between clubs throughout your career. Designing everything from the way you look and the way you wear your kit. The game keeps the same modes as the last version with the likes of Master League, Cups and Leagues. The Champions League mode has been added and if very realistic, with the music and appearance of it. There is always the same argument when a new football game...

KONMAI PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER

Advantages: STILL THE SAME ENTERTANING GAME PLAYS.
Disadvantages: WOULD HAVE MADE ENTIRE DIFFERENCE.

...I would not doubt the fact that some fundamental mechanism of the game has changed like the movement, shootings and the scoring difficulties. Since konami got 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 as a very good example, previously, FIFA never had good plans for good game plays for their soccer games but as they release soccer games, you see changes in the game play, player physic, and other game features until now when they...

Pro Evolution Soccer 5 Review

Advantages: Best Football Game Out
Disadvantages: Not all licensed players

...This game has been the best football game around for a long time now and its keeps getting more popular while the Fifa series is losing a bit interest. Pro evos game play is twice the game play of Fifa. Every year the two games come out and Pro always comes out best. The more the game goes on the bigger crowd of supporters the game is getting. John Terry and Thierry Henry are on the front cover as they are great fans themselves. Apparently Henry has been playing it for ten years now so it has to be a good game.The graphics are stunning on this game and they have made it a lot more realistic with personal and unique actions on certain players. Fifa may have the licensing but they havent got much on the gameplay. Pro evolution will take a little time to get use to, but after that you will be wanting to play it again and again. it is very...

Pro Evolution Soccer 5

Advantages: Return of the king
Disadvantages: Lack of teams/depth

...Here we are my people. It's back, the fifth installment. The king. The champion. The legend. The myth. The greatest game known to man!! The Pro Evolution Soccer series came about from the Japanese 'Winning Eleven'. Back then it was a rather meek game compared to the mighty FIFA. But the first installment gave the gamer looking for a competitor to FIFA a glimmer of hope. I did actually see Pro Evolution Soccer going for 97p in 'Game' a few weeks ago. A bargain for the game that started it all. For Christmas, I wanted this game, first and foremost. Master Claus didn't fail and on the 25th of last month I was enjoying my first game on Pro Evolution Soccer 5. I seem to recall my first game being I as Everton and my brother as Barcelona. I beat him 5-2, much to my delight. Even in the first game you could see what the developers...
