Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (PS3) Reviews

Pro Evolution Soccer has held onto the title of best football game round for a number of years now but since the arrival of the current generation of consoles its grasp has been slipping to some degree. It for me is still the best football game but as every year goes by I find myself craving more from Konami, the current game is no exception, it ...  Read the complete review

Pro Evolution Soccer for the Sony PS3 is the latest offering in this series for PES fans. It is rated 3+ and is available for around £30 at most online retailers. My son loves his footy games, so it was a forgone conclusion that we would pick this one up and I opted for the PS3 version as this is my preferred console at the moment, mainly due to ...  Read the complete review

PES 2009, AKA Pro Evolution Soccer 8, AKA ISS Pro Evolution 10, AKA International Superstar Soccer 85. Theres been a million games in this series, point proven. I've played every game in this long expansive series of football games. I therefore must warn you at this point that I am hugely biased towards PES as opposed to FIFA (why cant ...  Read the complete review

I have been a fan of both the pro evo series and fifa series through many years now, and for the last 3 i have only been able to keep playing fifa, this is how bad i feel pro evo is getting. Ok, its maybe not bad, but compared to fifa this year it is here is a comparison of a few things between the two games : Graphics - fifa ...  Read the complete review

Pro Evolution 2009 proves yet again that in the ongoing battle between the FIFA and Pro Evo games, Konami stay well in the lead. What is basically an updated version of the previous game, PES 2009 finally sees Pro Evo obtaining rights to more teams and incudes a licensed Champions league game option. In the modern days of gaming, and using the ...  Read the complete review

I have always been a lover of Pro Evolution soccer and whilst at university I definitely spent too much time playing it on the Playstation! Until three years ago I always believed that pro evolution was a far better soccer game than FIFA. It's true, then it was, since then however every year FIFA claws a little bit more ground back; this year I ...  Read the complete review

The latest version of Pro Evo, is much better than the last, however, FIFA is a better buy this time around. The graphics aren't as good as FIFA but are still good compared to other PS3 games. The soundtrack is not bad, but doesn't matter as you won't spend much time listening as the game is addicting. The licensing has ...  Read the complete review

Pro evolution soccer is the newest release of an increadible successful game which, throughout the past years has been gaining market share when compared to Fifa from EA. This year's version sees a number of new functionalities andgame modes introduced. generally, these new modes add to the longevity of the game but still need some time ...  Read the complete review

I have been a huge fan of the Pro Evolution Soccer series since the second edition, and have got every edition since. I hear from others that this years Fifa iteration is actually better than this years Pro Evo, a first for at least 5 years. However, I have persevered with Pro Evo and local multiplayer is still as fun as ever. Roughly 10 games are ...  Read the complete review

The best football game around retains its crown again, but only just. The gameplay is as you would expect from Konami's creation and that has now become a given, but the key areas that this year's Pro Evolution Soccer needed to improve upon have remained reletively unchanged and that is disappointing. Upon first play, it becomes immediately ...  Read the complete review

As someone who down the years has has every pro evo amd really does enjoy the series i feel this one can be a bit of a let down in places. After the disaster that was pes 2008 this one is certianly a vast imrpovement but not the sort of improvment that you would be hoping for at all. The graphics are not to bad but for next gen you certainly do ...  Read the complete review

My husband and I bought this together, we both look forward to the new version coming out each year and this one doesn't disappoint. The new become a legend mode breathes new life into an already greatly addictive game. You start off as a 17 year old where you play in a trial match as yourself and the better you play the better the ...  Read the complete review

I had this game bundled with my PS3 console, one of the main reasons I purchased this bundle. I've been playing consoles for years, PS1, PS2, Xbox, Xbox 360, Wii, etc, the list makes no difference. I've played many many football games, but the one I always buy without fail and always choose to play over any other is Pro Evolution Soccer and its ...  Read the complete review

The yearly update of PRO-Evo has come back, hopefully to take back the crown. After last years very poor game on PS3 this was supposed to be a return to form. It failed. The controls important to any game, but football games it needs to be quick and responsive, is sluggish and unresponsive. THe opponents are challenging enough, thankfully, but ...  Read the complete review

What a fantastic football game...I liked all previous editions of PES also, but PES 2009 is definitely the best football game available.

FIFA is good (and really way better than the last years), but come on, PES`gameplay is simply on another level.

I recently was given a Playstation 3 as an engagement present from my Bride to be, despite her insistence I wasn't getting one. So one of the first games I picked up for the PS3 was Pro Evolution Soccer 2009. I'd recently got the previous version on the Wii and while it had redeeming features, the game difficultly perhaps wasn't what it could have ...  Read the complete review
