Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (Xbox 360)

Pro Evolution Soccer is one of the most recognisable footballing video game series, next of course to the most famous 'Fifa' series of games. Pro Evolution 6 is an excellent addition to the series, and promises lots of enjoyment for both football and gaming enthusiasts alike. Perhaps the most detrimental and well known problem with Pro Evo is that, because it is not an official FA endorsed title, it is unable to use many of the true team names, or the names of leagues and titles (Chelsea FC are named London FC etc.). To football purists and those wishing to enjoy a sense of realism this may come as a disappointment. Certain teams have retained their genuine ...  Read the complete review

This game is brilliant. Way better than the new one! The new pro evo lags very badly online so most pro evo users have stuck with pro 6. I picked this game up for just £4 from gamestation - i was a bit wary whether anyone would actually still be playing it! But when i logged on i was shocked to see loads of people online. It was quickly explained to me that everyone preferes this as it just plays so smoothly! The graphics are a marked improvement on pervious versions, it actually looks as if players are running and not gliding hovercraft style' across the pitch! The team names are a little bit dodgy as konami dont own any of the licences fifa do! ...  Read the complete review

There is always this constant battle between fifa and Pro Evo, and i only bought this game as it came as a bundle with my 360. However, it was certainly this game that turned me into a pro evo lover and away from the safety of Fifa. Of course Fifa has all the licences of teams, players and stadiums and therefore has any team you can want from Manchester United to Luton. Yet, in my opinion it is not up to the level of gameplay and enjoyment you can get from Pro Evo soccer 6. Th intelligence of the game is very high with players not in possession of the ball still having a big influence on the game by running into space and pointing to where they want the ...  Read the complete review

Acclimatising to the subtle tweaks and refinements to Pro Evo each year is usually a simple process. It's like getting used to driving a new car; at first it feels foreign and uncomfortable but within minutes your muscle memory aligns itself to the new norm. This year, Konami has ripped the metaphorical gear stick out of Pro Evo's cockpit and bolted it to the roof. I'll drop the bombshell in the first paragraph and get it out of the way - they've nearly ruined it. Nearly. Despite much of the classic 'feel' remaining intact, fundamental changes have been made to the mechanics of the game. Mindful that I accuse Konami of 'breaking' Pro Evo every year until I ...  Read the complete review

Konami's grip on the gaming market has undoubtedly taken a big step forward with the Pro Evo series of games. However although there is much more to praise in this version, it does have a few drawbacks which I certainly hope will be rectified in the next edition. All the usual game features are there, the WEFA Championship, The League, and of course The Cup and they are just as good if not better than they were in the processor. The incentives are there all the big name teams and players are there, but a big disappointment is the feature which made the game that little bit better. This feature let you create players which then would go onto the transfer market ...  Read the complete review
