Advantages: new tactics and online play, good gameplay

Disadvantages: online lag, graphics still behond a bit

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 same extent which makes for some unrealistic aspect to the game.

A nice new touch is the ability to add you mp3 files as chants. This feature is nice to use from time to time but gets boring and is not easy enough to use.

The online mode as I said is a nice addition however you find a lot of lag in the games online and this will lead to a lot of frustration when the oppositions players seem to be teleporting around the screen sometimes. I have a fast connection and hardly ever experience lag but this game manages to do so.

However in all this game is not the worst and the gameplay is still pretty good, however I prefer the new gameplay style fifa has introduced but each to their own.

Summary: still a good game, worth a play, pes fans will love
