Pro Evo Goes Back A Year

By nima25 (ciao.co.uk) Read the full review

Im a massive Pro Evo fan and couldn't wait to get the ltest version off the shelves. Pro Evo 2008 was great. I mastered the game completely to the point where 5 stars was way too easy! In my opinion this game only needed tweaking in certain areas to...

Great to play online, more technical

Gameplay slower, too mechanical in player movement

Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 on PS3 - Not Bad

By da-car (ciao.co.uk) Read the full review

Join. Teams are not always exact names and players name differ than real life, but that is same as all pro evo games. You will not be disappointed, probably one of the best football games out at the moment! Well worth the money spent! Recommended for all.

As all pro evo games playability is the best

Cannot create your own team

Getting Better All The Time

By Andy.mack (ciao.co.uk) Read the full review

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 been. I always have to have a football game regardless of which...

Improved tackling and difficulty

Still doesn't have all the team names, passing is still weak

Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 Xbox 360, PS3 Review

By Chris Wigham (consoleob.com)

Perhaps it's complacency to blame as to why some fans of Konami's annual football series have jumped ship and now have a new first choice of football games, that being the always improving FIFA. In comparison, the Pro Evolution Soccer series is now...

Maybe next year.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2009

By Andrew St.Denis (ic-games.co.uk)

There has always been the two camps since Pro Evolution Soccer started its challenge on EA's FIFA franchise. You tended to either like the FIFA gloss and realistic names or you loved the gameplay and flair available from Konami's PES.

Tactics Selection ; Some Nice Moves Available

Too Complicated ; Looks Old Style

At first glance you expect some good things from PES 2009, the intro is very nice and you'd think there is some real class in the games graphical abilities. Then comes the menu system and the game itself and you realise that the intro must have taken...

Pro Evolution Soccer 2009

By Guy Cocker (gamespot.co.uk)

Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 is an improvement on last year's game, but this is a series that desperately needs a complete overhaul.

Simple, easy-to-pick-up gameplay ; Champions League license with official teams and sponsors ; New four-player online mode

Lack of improvement to core gameplay ; Dated animation system looks stilted ; Impoverished and laggy online play ; Poor presentation and commentary

Pro Evolution Soccer 2009

By Rich T (gamebosh.com)

The football wars have never been closer, with the struggle for dominance now more akin to last season's right-to-the-wire title chase between Manchester United and Chelsea. Last year's PES turned off a lot of fans, due to a lack of progression in...

It seems to happen ever year now, the first impressions of PES tend to be bad ones, and it's only through repeated play that you get to appreciate its finer points. However, for a game that used to be so consistent, it would be nice to have a year...

So have Konami pulled things back this year?

By Rich T (cheatsunlimited.com)

Can new licenses and modes save PES?

Unless this does happen soon, and with FIFA getting stronger and ever popular, PES runs the risk of slipping further and further behind. Just like in real life, having Champions League football is great, but it can't beat the feeling of winning the...

UK REVIEW--Although Pro Evolution Soccer fans bought last year's game in droves, it was unfortunately an all-time low for the series on the PlayStation 3. Poor graphics, dreadful presentation, and basic online play failed to make the most of the...

Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 doesn't completely redress the balance, but it's a step in the right direction, with new game modes, an improved editor, and even a Champions League licence. Additionally, this is a more enjoyable game to play thanks to its...

Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (PlayStation 3) - Gameplanet Review

By Ian Knott (gameplanet.co.nz)

The Pro Evolution Soccer franchise is back with the 2009 iteration, and they've got some real competition with EA's FIFA. Fortunately they manage to excel in a number of areas, however there were some disappointments along the way..

Superb in-game visuals. Realistic ball physics. Still a great technical title for real fans

Boring career mode. Horrible commentary. Scoring goals is too hard

Top notch!

Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 - Xbox 360 review at Thunderbolt Games

It never changes. Another year, another debate about which game offers the defining football simulation. On one hand, you've got a resurgent EA Sports, effortlessly reworking and refining their ideas until the praise inevitably rolls in. On the other,...

With a defiant set of supporters on each side, both PES 2009 and FIFA 09 are sure to be successful, right?

Pro Evolution Soccer 2009

By Dave Cook (square-go.com)

So what's new? Well, for the first time you have a full, seperate mode for the UEFA Champions League, complete with that mad choir music they play during the breaks. You know the stuff we mean. You take one of a range of teams through the 32 man...

As with every new PES, there are more licensed teams and players, doing away with some of the really rubbish made-up names of old.
