Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (PS3) Reviews

After playing PES 2008 everyday for 6 months at my friends house, PES 2009 became a must buy for the year. However, it seems as if Konami created a game the was many levels below the previous one, which left me diappointed the day I played the game. Konami did do good by purchasing the rights to the champions league which makes the game just a ...  Read the complete review

Pro Evolution Soccer 09 is a game for the Playstation 3 by Konami. It is the rival game to FIFA and has grown each year. This year the game has added the Champions League to the game choices. The game has most of the leagues around the world in the game and of course the premier league. In addition to the teams they have also created a lot of the ...  Read the complete review

This is now Konami's third game on the next generation consoles, and really, they should be doing better than this. At the core is still the unmatched pro evo gameplay, but since you can get equally good play from any of the last five pro evos it's hard to really see that as a reason for paying twice as much as you would for one of the old games. ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  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 ...  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. Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 has new air resistance calculations for the trajectory of ...  Read the complete review

I have been a hardcore Pro Evo fan since the very start, it has been an essential part of my life and all my friends are exactly the same. I can't help being bias because I treat pro evo like a money grabbing son, I love it to death and I will always support it but boy sometimes it can be the most annoying little brat ever. The game play more or ...  Read the complete review

Pro Evo 2009 For football fans this is always a tough choice - do I go with the graphically pleasing fifa 09 or the technically brilliant pes 09? Well, I own both so hopefully I can give a neutral (although I do have a favourite) opinion. Unfortunately not all the teams have sponsered kits which is a disappointment, however does not ...  Read the complete review

OCTOBER 2008, The eagerly awaited release of both PES and FIFA, the ongoing debate of which game is better and which will exceed or disappoint our expectations. Pro Evolution Soccer had previously had a horrendous year with with thousands of disappointed fans complaining furiously and converting to the "dark side" otherwise ...  Read the complete review

Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 to be honest is not a classic PES in comparison to older PS2 edition's. While the graphics are of top notch the classic PES gameplay which defined the series in previous editions is not here in its fullness. AI proves to be poor and it does not hold the addictive gameplay that makes you want to come back for more. Passing ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

Konami's latest installation of the hugely popular and successful Pro Evolution Soccer series is something of a slight let down. For those fans that were expecting a huge improvement and difference, from the 2008 version, will feel they have been short changed some what. Why is this? PES boasts excellent graphics, and the individual attention to ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

This game looks and plays a little neater than the 2008 version. The gameplay is also a little more fluid than it's FIFA rival (which is a little clunky this time round) and this in my opinion keeps it just ahead in the on going Pro Evo / FIFA battle. There's a few licencing issues still but all the players past and present are available one ...  Read the complete review

Well the bugs that have hampered the Pro Evo series since the jump from the PS2 format finally seem to be ironed out. The movement is much smoother, the player reactions much more life like but I dunno...something's just not the same. Maybe it's because I'm older and my thumbs can't stand a 12-hour session to get my Master Team to the ...  Read the complete review

Now if you want me to choose between Pro and FIFA, I cant, I love both equally and will not favour one or the other. I will continue to by both games because I love football and I love the way they are competing to win our hearts. Football simulations have advanced a lot in recent years and I believe it is as a result of a bit of healthy ...  Read the complete review

Well where do i start?! Straight off, i like the game. I like it a lot. Is it a great game? No not in the slightest but with Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 being a very very poor game that it was and is, Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 was always going to look good in comparison. Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 is a good game. Not the great one that it ...  Read the complete review

I found this year's Pro Evolution Soccer to be a large improvement over last year's effort. The introduction of the new Become a Legend and Champions League mode definitely add more longevity to the game. Also added has been downloadable updates, which have added new licences, kits, and players to the squads of the teams. The ...  Read the complete review

New Modes: Champions League Mode: This year pes has included Champions league mode and tbh honest im not very impressed with it all it is really is a 32 man tournement which you could easily create yourself only it has official logos and musicwhich tbh i aint ot bothered about but it deos make you feel like you are playing in a champions ...  Read the complete review

I'll start by telling you that PES 2009 is not the best in the series, and that if you are looking for the best football simulation out there this year, FIFA 09 is definitely the way to go. That being said however, there are a lot of positives to look out for when playing the game. The graphics, as always, are the best-in-show for a ...  Read the complete review
