Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (PS3)

PES is carrying on without any licenced players and still algging behind on the graphics we see in Fifa but it isn't all bad. the gameplay itself is good and stays fluid as were the previous games. However there are somenew modes like the become a pro mode. Here you can pick a character and try and build him up from being a reserve player to getting to play for your team and then country. the game is has now got an online mde which is fun and adds depth to the game so you don't always have to keep playing the computer AI which gets boring after a while. However unlike FIFA the game does not have different levels of skills for each character to the ...  Read the complete review

In my opinion.....better than Fifa! Yes the graphics are less superior to Fifa, PES does not have all the official licenced teams or player names, the menu interface is also less superior. But what Pro Evo does have is a much better gameplay! This has been said for all the Pro Evo games in the series. The gameplay is outstanding. Buy this at launch and you will play it religiously until the next installment! I do have some negtives to report though. Bad english translations in the menu, poor commentary, online play is rubbish, a two man wall is created for a freekick 40m out!, the master league is very poor incomparision to ...  Read the complete review

Pro Evolution has returned and there has been many changes to gameplay, with key additions to tactics change according to situation, off-the-ball fluency AI recognizing strategies that works accumulating data on an ongoing basis wiht all league modes.

There are also new friction routines to affect ball movement in terms of ground conditions, backspin routines are calculated so that ball slows accordingly, and the bounce of the ball can be used more effectively. The biggest feature in the game is the introduction of Become ...  Read the complete review

While it may not be intentional, PES2009 amazingly captures the ups and downs - and the sublime and the ridiculous - of this way of life we call football, but largely not in a good way. Like previous PES titles, you can play some really fluid and realistic patterns of play, while running through an entire opposition with a Fernando Torres or Kaka proves just too easy, helping to spoil online mode (more on this later). Defending can also be a nightmare, with horrible scripted player AI continually being bewildered by a lob or hoof upfield making it so once you gain control of your player you just don't get there in time. Playing against ...  Read the complete review

This in my opinon isnt anywhere near as good as Fifa BUT it is still a great game, the thing that lets it done is the team names because they can't name them the proper names makes its annoying when you don't know who you are playing. The gameplay isnt too bad and is enjoyable but it still isnt as good as Fifa becasue there isnt much to do after the season and its much harder for better gameplay. This game may not be as good as Fifa but it is more realistic when tackling and scoring i feel it is more competivite which cusotmers may prefer. Liverpool and Manchester united are the main teams this year as well the two biggest clubs in England which makes it more ...  Read the complete review
