Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (PS2) Reviews

PES 2008 Pro Evo vs. Fifa? The question everyone seems to be asking and no one seems to havve the answer for! For me this was an easy answer it was pro evo everytime. As a purist, pro evo was the only was to go, put simply I would have much more fun playing 2 player on pro rather than fifa. It was just that simple. However in ...  Read the complete review

The Pro Evo vs FIFA debate continues, as you may have read in my previous reviews, I can't choose between them, I love both equally. PES 2008 has some fantastic gameplay throughout, but comes with the usual PES flaws, namely and most commonly, defenders shinning the ball into their own net when it actually seems easier to clear it., but thats ...  Read the complete review

This game has got to be my favourite one of the Pro evolution soccer series, It has the most realistic game play and is definitely on a par with Fifa. However the only thing i dislike about this game is the fact that all the team names are incorrect because I dont think the game makers have the rights or the legal stuff to sort it out. Other than ...  Read the complete review

The most amazing thing about this game is, even though it wasn't next-gen, which was rumoured to be fantastic on the PS3, XBox360 and PC, which were failures in my opinion, this version was much better than them. It was quite similar to its predecessors Pro Evolution Soccer 5 and 6, which were among my favourite games of all time, but had a few ...  Read the complete review

The ultimate football experience. Pro Evolution Soccer gets better and better every year and this edition has not failed to dissapoint. Pro Evo 2008 offers the same free flowing football at your fingertips, the main thing I love about Pro Evo is its soo unpredicatable like in real football, the amount of power you put on your passes, shots, free ...  Read the complete review

The Pro Evolution Soccer series wasn't always top of my gaming agenda. I was originally a Fifa player for many years until all my friends started playing "Pro Evo" and i had no alternative than to switch. I am glad i did because the gameplay and the graphics are so much better than the Fifa games, but the long running issue was that ...  Read the complete review

Generally, I am not a fan of sports games. They bore me intensely. But let's be honest here: Pro Evolution Soccer is the best games series in the history of computers. This incarnation is no exception. I have to admit here that I buy games like this almost entirely for their multiplayer use. The single-player experience of Pro Evo 2008 ...  Read the complete review

Attempting to answer the most long running of all football game questions is no easy task, and it is a task that is getting more and more difficult. Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 is an improvement on 2007, but is still hindered by the flaws that have plagued the series from start to finish. To start on a positive note, the game play is ...  Read the complete review

PES 2008 offers an easy-to-play experience coupled with good graphics and simple interface. The game is easy to get in to and is most enjoyable when playing against friends, especially in 'community' mode where you can keep track of how you perform against others in the form of league tables and win ratios etc. For more advanced users there are ...  Read the complete review

Pro Evolution Soccer came out in late 2007, and it usually does, the year before, and in my opinion, it isnt very different from the previous. In fact, I think that the only thing that they have done to it, is update the teams, in terms of the leagues, and added some neww players, but apart from that, the whole game seems very similar the the 2007 ...  Read the complete review

This is a very popular game in my household. The first thing i would mention is that the game is very realistic with the players and the football stadiums looking so much like the real thing. The gameplay is unlike any other football game out there. The skill that can be done in this game is very like in true football games. There is a ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

The Pro Evolution Soccer series and Fifa are always the main football games. This game has all the features of a great football game and has all the big clubs like Manchester United, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan and many more. In this edition the graphics are better than ever before and look quite realistic. The players ...  Read the complete review

PES2008 is the latest in the ever popular series of the game that has been challenging for fifas crown for over a decade (back when it was ISS). While the promise of a whole new game on the PS3 was tempting, I was disappointed to find that new features available on that platform were lacking in the ps2 version. No shirt pulling or diving in this ...  Read the complete review

PES 2008 is the best sport game and the most additive game for playsation 2. the gameplay experience is much greater than Fifa, as PES offers arcade type fun with actaul challenges. Fifa goals are easy to come by and the achievement of a good goal is lost. Pro Evo remains easy enough to have fun with mates or alone whilst remaining an actual ...  Read the complete review

A great game. i think that finally, pro evo has taken over form fifa as the best football game for playstation on the market. before this game was released, i allways thought that fifa is best, however, whilst pro evo has improved dramatically over the years i think fifa has stayed very much the same and has not devlepoed in the same was as pro ...  Read the complete review

Pro Evo 2008 is an incredible game, that can't be disputed, the only problem for me is that there isn't too much that sets this apart from previous titles. I would say that my favourite addition is the "world Tour" option , this is like many mini-games and challenges that really break the monotony from just exhibition after exhibition. ...  Read the complete review
