Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (Xbox 360)

In October 2001 an innovative and addictive game was released by KONAMI in Japan where it was known as Winning Eleven, elsewhere and in particular Europe and the America's it was better known as Pro Evolution Soccer. It was an instant success and has through each successive year become a game that has it's fan eagerly awaiting it's annual publication. It's fiercest competitor in this sports market is FIFA Soccer and it is simply a matter of preference as to which game one thinks is superior, since each have their own merits and demerits. For me however the rivalry between the two companies and fan sets is of little significance, it is and shall always be the game-play ...  Read the complete review

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 is a step up in the world of gaming. undoubtebly the best football game to come out this decade it mixes a wide variety of excellent gameplay. being rated at a 3 + it is accesible to all. konami have again outdone themselves by adding a new shirt pulling and diving aspect to the beautiful game.

This game was released into the gaming market with only one real main rival, Fifa 2008. I think that Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 dominates the football game area and wins hands down in any toss up between the two. With incredible graphics and fantastic controls, this game offers so much entertainment and hours of endless fun! The superb league mode allows you to participate in full, in many of Europe's leading premier divisions, including leagues from England, Spain, France, Italy and Holland. Each league has the correct teams in essence, although many are unlicensed. This devastating factor means that only some of the team names, and some of the player names ...  Read the complete review

so have been converted to PES by the last title(pes 6) its only fair i expected big things from this title,and in ways,it did deliver. As per usual the menus are really crisp and clean and everythings really easy to navigate through,even in master mode(league mode). The music just like previous versions is really catchy and youl find yourself singing the tunes for weeks to come GAMEPLAY Once again i far prefer this to the fifa titles and this latest release has far surpast the last.The graphics for a start are far sharper and much more detailed and the players look as realistic as watching them on the tv, they really are that good,especially in ...  Read the complete review

Each year Konami release a new version of the famous football game, which was released at the end of october 2007. And once again it has been pu to the test against its arch rival - Fifa 08. I have once again remained a strong follower of the pro evo series and bought this game as soon as it was released despite many people trying to persuade me to go to the 'other side' and buy Fifa. Was this the year that fifa took the lead? I have to say that i am confident i made the right decision and have seen several improvements from last year's game and have enjoyed this game loads, it was certainly worth buying. This game has had many improvements from its ...  Read the complete review
