Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (PS2)

For many years now, the Winning Eleven / Pro Evolution Soccer franchise has been synonymous with quality, realistic gameplay. But does the latest installment of the franchise live up to its predecessors? The answer is that not only does Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 live up to the former games in the series, it surpasses them with even more incredible realism and absolutely gorgeous visuals. Gameplay - 10: What has set the Winning Eleven series apart from all other soccer sims in the past is its gameplay. Once again, the gameplay of this installment of the series is excellent. All of the modes that we've come to know and love are back. The Master League (franchise mode for those who are unfamiliar with the series) is back in full force with an easier to navigate locker room menu. Now, changing your formation and rearranging players takes less time and less sorting through menus. In addition to the Master League, an international tournament mode is available as well as regular exhibition matches. But the features in the game are only a small part of the beautiful gameplay this game has to offer. In terms of actual gameplay, several changes have been made to better simulate a real game. For instances, rather than players making runs into a space occupied by defenders, they make runs into open space. Also, it's no longer possible to simply make a pass from one end of the pitch to the other from an impossible angle. In order for a strong pass to be made, your player must be balanced and have space to make a pass adding even more to the realism that this game prides itself on. It's also easier to clear the ball with a header while defending and on the whole, headers are much easier to get in position on. Overall, the changes that have been made to the gameplay are brilliant in terms of how they add even more realism to the game than there was previously. Graphics - 10: I have to admit, this was one area of the game that utterly shocked me. In Winning Eleven 9, the graphics were solid, but weren't spectacular. However, the upgrade to the graphics in this game was wonderful. While Winning Eleven 9 provided solid visuals that were, at best, ok to look at, the visuals provided in Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 are a joy to behold. This was a fabulous upgrade to the series. Sound - 10: The sounds are solid. The crowd reacts as you would expect it to. Good play from the teams on the pitch is well received by the crowd while poor play is scorned. The music in the game is just what you would expect from the series as well. Features - 10: Why a separate section for this you ask? Well, while many of the features in the game were covered in the gameplay section, some of the other features haven't been discussed yet. One of the biggest, nicest features I have yet to mention as of yet is the fact that Manchester United and Arsenal are fully licensed. Also, many new designs for boots and balls, including the ball used in the World Cup, are available to be used. There are also some new features in the WE shop including the ability to buy costumes for teams. Very nice add-ons to the game. Buy or Rent?: If you're a soccer fan, then there is absolutely no question that you must by this game. This, once again, blows FIFA out of the water. There is no better soccer sim on the market and no better way to play as the best players in the world in the comfort of your own home. Even if you aren't a soccer fan, rent this game and see how you like it. You may be pleasantly surprised how great a game it truly is. Reviewer's Score: 10/10

I've had this game for years now and still play it just because i haven't been bothered to go and buy myself a newer one. It's by no means awful, but there's a lot of minor issues with the game play that really bother me, too many to go into, but i think i might try Fifa next time.

Pleased with game and arrived quickly

no

This is a game I couldn't wait to play. Having already owned a copy of PES 5, I was practicing it more than revising for my exams whilst eagerly awaiting the arrival of.....yes you guessed it, PES6. PES is a game I have a love hate relationship with and the hate part got a lot worse since this thing landed on my doorstep. The beautiful game gets a lot more realistic apparently, but behaves more unrealistic than ever before. Maybe it is just me but here are a few things fellow PES players may have encountered especially against the AI: - Being offside by one millimetre after you split open the defence with an amazing through ball that even Carrick or Fabergas would be proud of. Surely the referees are not that accurate? They should be more inconsistent to reflect real-life. - You tackle the ball cleanly in the hope of getting the ball off your opponent and guess what? The ball falls to the feet of another opposition player and they passes it back to the player you executed a carefully timed tackle on. Great. - Okay I am 1-0 up against a low ranking team, I can perfectly understand the sense of urgency and determination to try and pull one back, but I cannot understand why they become impossible to tackle when they have possession of the ball. The opposition pre empt most of your moves regardless of what you do. Even the left back can run pass all your defenders from his side of the pitch and make an attempt on your goal if you are lucky. It's amazing! There is nothing fresh about the game, it's a slight update but I find myself returning to PES 5 as I yearn for the opportunity to pass the ball fluidly in the hope of chaining a beautiful move. The scoring doesn't matter, it's the act of making the chances that makes PES exciting even on the highest difficulty settings. PES 6 takes that all away. On a high difficulty you are unable to pass beyond the half way line without the ball being intercepted or wrestled off the ball and by the way you will have difficulty doing it back to them, the AI defending and attacking is amazingly efficient and precise than ever before. Best thing is the almighty master league returns with 5 new extra players! Great! Last but not least, why on earth did Konami tweak the shoot button back to the twitchy one like they did for PES3! Why did you do that? Now I cant shoot or lob properly! What was wrong with the one in PES 5? Cheers.

great
