At the time of writing this review it is the year 2009, so you the reader may be wondering why I am reviewing this game when it was released three years ago and soon Pro Evolution Soccer 10 is to be released. It is because I can not explain it in any other words, that this is simply the best football game ever made.

The controls are very simple, yet are in-depth enough for the experienced player to perform new tricks. It is like chess, in that it is easy to learn yet hard to master. I heard that phrase before somewhere and I'd thought I'd just throw it in there. Unlike some football games (I'm looking at you FIFA) some players are faster or stronger than other instead of all players just being robots. You are able to play free-flowing fast football in this game that I have yet been able to replicate in any other football game, even three years after this game.

However not everything is perfect in this game. The sound is awful, with horrible noise during the menus and an even worse noise coming from Jon Champion and Mark Lawrenson's mouth's during the matches. There are issues with the licensing so the majority of the Premier League have fake names eg. Man City = Man Blue. Also each stadium feels the same and it lacks the modern sleekness of FIFA. Reading this you would think that amount of criticisms would make the game bad but lookily enoough the excellent gameplay shines through these flaws.

Summary: Best football game that has yet to be bettered.
