Advantages: Still has great playability

Disadvantages: Not much has improved

I am one of the biggest pro evo fans there is and converted during pro evo 2 for the PS1, which was a good eight years ago, so am a seasoned fan. For the 2008 edition of this game for the PS2, there are not a whole host of differences and it is essentially a very similar game to pro evo 6.

The main new feature in this edition is the introduction of the new adapative AI system called Teamvision. This is a sophisticated AI program that learns from the user playing the game and adapts its play to the environment. Therefore you can not keep breaking down the computer in the same way and it will expose any defensive errors you have. Close control has also been enhanced, so the user has more control with the ball and can hence do more in terms of tricks and dribbling with it.

Not really worth updating your Pro Evo 6, however if you have money to spend then it is still worth a good investment, otherwise I would wait till Pro Evo 2009. Also I am not sure if the PS2 pro evo can be taken any further which means that they will soon discontinue making pro evo for the PS2, until then enjoy the legendary game and become a pro.

Summary: A decent game, but not worth buying if you bought last years version
