Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (PC)

Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer has always has a strong fan following on both console and PC alike. The PC platform has traditionally made it easier for modders to create patches for the game, to fill in the gaps that Konami leave, in search of the perfect footballing experience. PC owners have often felt short changed in the past with PC versions of PES being rough conversions of the console editions. This has led one or two compatiblity and control issues over the years, and leaving the PC PES players feeling ignored slightly. The latest offer is in an important milestone in the series, as it sees the adaptation of so called 'next-gen' technology, promising better ...  Read the complete review

Each year Konami release a new version of the famous football game, which was released at the end of october 2007. And once again it has been pu to the test against its arch rival - Fifa 08. I have once again remained a strong follower of the pro evo series and bought this game as soon as it was released despite many people trying to persuade me to go to the 'other side' and buy Fifa. Was this the year that fifa took the lead? I have to say that i am confident i made the right decision and have seen several improvements from last year's game and have enjoyed this game loads, it was certainly worth buying. This game has had many improvements from its ...  Read the complete review

I am a big fan of PC games of late, and therefore decided to get Pro on my PC as opposed to my console which played all of the previous games in the series. I actually think this game is really good. I have followed the pro series since the beginning, and I really have never felt let down at all. I would confidently say I am a huge huge fan of football, I play semi professionally, and I would like to think I know alot about the game and how it is played. With this in mind, I think Pro evo 2008 is a pretty realistic game, but whether I can say its more realistic than the previous in the series, im not sure, its on par though, and ive loved them all so ...  Read the complete review

Overall The first thing I want to say is that this is the best soccer games that I've ever played. When I got the game last year, I doubt it might repeat the dissapointment of the previous version, but I was convinced that it's the best game when installed and started playing. Graphic Pro evolution soccer always gives great graphic quality with realistic models. The players look really alike from their real life. Compared to the last version, there is a great improvement on graphic performance. Although my computer uses a GeForce 7300 with 2GB RAM, I can play smoothly at medium graphic configuration. When I played the game on my friends ...  Read the complete review

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 - I dont think I have ever played a more frustrating game! I am a big fan of the Pro Evolution series and I had high hopes for the latest in the series. At first I was fairly impressed, it looked good and seemed to handle well, however the more I played it the more frustrated I become. If you play on any level from regular upwards you will have spell during a game where the opposition team play like Brazil. even if its only for a few seconds the skills they show at this time nearly always result in conceding a goal. This is frustrating as your goals against column gets higher and higher. Secondly tackling in this ...  Read the complete review
