Pro-Evolution Soccer 5 for the PS2

Advantages: gameplay, graphics, net-play,
Disadvantages: referees, loading times

...Pro-Evolution Soccer 5 Despite playing Fifa Football for most of my gaming life I decided to see what the fuss was all about with the latest in the Pro Evo franchise, No 5. The game has already reached a best-selling status by joining the many other elite Platinum games, which gives you a fantastic game for a fantastic price, saving you a bit of money! It boasts Arsenal's Thierry Henry and Chelsea's John Terry on the cover so you automatically know that these two Premiership giants are fully licensed as well as thousands of other players in Europe and the rest of the world. In the previous PES games this was a bit of a distraction because while the faces of the players reflected their real-life counterparts, the names were altered so it would not infringe on the player's copyright. Thankfully for the majority of the game is filled...

PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER, PS2

Advantages: Briilant Graphics, player movments, passing and Master League
Disadvantages: No real stadia, not as good comentry as FIFA

...’ of the PS1 version Evo.2 that other teams never bought any players, while you could. You could improve you teams players over a few seasons, improving you squad over your competitors. In Pro Evolution Soccer (PS2 version) other computer controlled teams also improve their squads, making the who league system very realistic. Pro Evolution Soccer also lets you compete in a World Cup, European Cup, Konami Cup, World League, European League and a custom league, enough to keep you satisfied. Each provides you with all the realism and excitement of the real thing, it’ just an amazing experience. While it may not have the real stadiums of the tournaments it has the same stadia with differing names, if you know what I mean; a minor flaw in an otherwise perfect game of football. The Evolution soccer games have all been about...

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 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...

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 4

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 a novice to the series but the real excitement is in the harder difficulty levels. Unlike most football games you actually need to think about how you can create a chance on goal and it is not possible to simply run through an entire team with 1 player. You are actually required to think about how to beat the defence by passing movements and crossfield passes to pull the defence from side to...

  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...

...tie to non-league Nuneaton Borough. Luckily, you just can't keep the second best football game ever made down. Before you know it, that difficult away tie has become a simple 5-0 thrashing. Konami have done the sensible (pun intended) thing and have converted Pro Evolution Soccer to the PSP with the framework of the machine in mind, along with how gamers are likely to utilise the PSP in its portable capacity. Thus, the game is leaner and more compact, removing many decent yet irrelevant elements of the more powerful PS2 version, whilst maintaining the most important aspect of all previous versions of Pro Evolution Soccer - the actual football engine that provides the realistic gameplay. Indeed, it's the football that you pay for and it's the football that you get. The main game engine looks as realistic and as gorgeous as it ever did...

PRO EVOLUTION 6.

Advantages: NICE GRAPHICS WITH GOOD GAME PLAY.
Disadvantages: SLOW AND COMMENTARY POOR.

...Well we all know much about pro evolution series in the Sony play station console and know what we mean by that but sorry I don't think the language pro evolution is meant for non soccer players and fifa players, I am just making this specifically for hard core pro evolution fans that will be able to understand the language of football in this review. Let the review start. Fellow pro evolution fans or rather players, I am putting up this review in a way you are going to understand. I know some readers will see it in the sense that I am segregating between pro evolution and non-pro evolution fans. 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...

Pro Evolution Soccer 5

Advantages: Great football realism
Disadvantages: Commentary

...Introduction Pro Evolution soccer 5 (or Winning Eleven in the U.S) is the fifth game to be released on the Playstation 2. The game is produced by Konami, who have also produced titles such as Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Pro Evolution soccer 5 has to be the best football game for the Playstation 2 at the moment, people argue that FIFA 2006, which is made by EA SPORTS is better because of the licensing of all of the teams in the game. However there is a way to get fully licensed kits and this is by purchasing a Max Drive which are on www.play.com for around £10. Once you have a Max Drive, to get realistic kits you have to download an option file, which can be found by looking on Google. The game has fully licensed leagues and teams from Serie A (Italian League), La Liga (Spanish League) and Eredivisie (Dutch league). The game has 57...
