Amazon.co.uk Review
In a nutshell:
The world’s most popular football sim returns with numerous tweaks and additions to make it even more realistic in both gameplay and graphics. If England don’t win the World Cup you can always take solace in the latest Pro Evo.
The lowdown:
This latest sequel sees one of the biggest overhauls in the game’s history with the new improvements to the already impressive animation directly affecting the way you play. Dribbling with the ball is now easier but the quality of your passing and shooting now depends on the position of a player’s body in terms of both accuracy and power. Make a shot straight after a sharp turn, for example, and your chances of hitting the target are slim. Opponent and team artificial intelligence has also been greatly increased, to the point where every man on the pitch is thinking independently. Apart from the animation, the graphics in general have also been upgraded with much better player likenesses.
Most exciting moment:
Thanks to the new changes Pro Evo 6 plays a much more attacking game than previously, with counter attacks after a fluffed shot on goal made much easier than previously.
Since you ask:
Although the game doesn’t have the official FIFA World Cup license it does simulate an unofficial international tournament, including both qualifying rounds and the finals.
The bottom line:
The best just keeps getting better with the most beautiful virtual game ever.

Product Description
The Pro Evolution Soccer series is renowned for its realism, and Pro Evolution Soccer 6 is abundant with new gameplay additions. Player AI has been massively upgraded, with players running intelligently into space when not in possession of the ball and pointing where they want the pass placed to continue the attack. Similarly, the physical side of play has been refined, with players working to turn a defender as they receive the ball, while defenders must learn to stand off slightly to prevent such moves.
Series creator Shingo `Seabass` Takatsuka has also worked to refine the shooting system of the new game, and players will be able to attempt more snap shots than in previous versions, while volleys and half-volleys have been redesigned. Other new moves include the ability to retain control of the ball when sliding in to tackle, while all-new feints and backwards dribbling are now available thanks to the improved dribbling controls, while headers have been changed to allow players more movement in the way their strikers jump and head the ball.
Pro Evolution Soccer 6 also has a number of new teams licensed for inclusion, with the International roster now featuring the official kits for Argentina, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain and Sweden. Details on official club teams and more national squads will follow.
Other new additions include more balanced referees, and a selection of exciting new gameplay modes. An International Challenge involves leading your home country to victory through a series of entry and tournament rounds, while a Random mode lets the player play quick games within randomly-generated match day settings. The much-loved Master League also returns, allowing players to experience the many highs and lows of steering a team through years of competitive games. Aging players, injuries and pressure from the board all combine to create a truly immersive game where results are every

Being a games tester for konami, luckily i get to "test"! the games over a weekend, and i have had this one this weekend and i was very reluctant to send this one back!! The gameplay is so smooth, it's brilliant to see more licenced teams on the game this year, one day when fifa is dead and gone maybe the guys at konami will stump up the cash for the rights!!
Back to the gameplay, mind you don't let your keeper stray out the box, PES5 had an imaginary wall on the edge of the box to stop the goalkeeper, no such thing this year, so if your sliding at your oppositions feet, beware you don't slide out of the box!!! Also watch out when your kicking the ball upfield, don't get too close to the edge of the box, as you may handle the ball outside of the box! Goalkeepr kicking action has been changed aswell, a double tap of the square button means your keeper will drop kick(where the ball hits the floor first) the ball upfield giving it further distance with a lower trajectory. Goalkeepers are also harder to beat in the latest instalment, pulling of amazing banks-esque saves! picking free kicks heading for the onion bag out of the air with ease, (tip look for the keepers starting position prior to a free kick!).
Defending is made harder, strikers will go down if they are facing away from goal and they feel you on their back or they will turn you in the blink of an eye if you get too close, you'll need to learn to stand off anticipating the turn or the lay off!
Free kick taking was relatively easy on PES5, not so easy on this one due to keepers anticipating the shot going into the top corner, variation will be required.
Attacking corners will be brilliant, alowing you to decide who goes up for corners!... Read more ›
Firstly there are quite a few lisenced teams including Manchester United, Chelsea and the whole of La Liga, Serie A and Le Championnat. There's also a host of other liscenced teams such as Bayern Munich, Celtic, Rangers and the like. This is all very good and enjoy playing with lisenced teams even if some of the kits are wrong.
The Master League is also very good but it is a shame you can't change clubs at the end of the season like you can do so in FIFA 06, so you often find yourself quitting your ML around season 3 and starting with a new club because you've gotten bored of your current club. Fair enough. Transfers are much more accurate than they have been in the past for example you won't find Adriano signing for a low league premiership outfit without a heafty sum of money going in the other direction
As ever the graphics are good but the gameplay does get very frustrating. You get players doing things you don't want them or tell them to do and it sometimes seems like the game wants you to loose, with your oppostion scoring really dodgey goals, blasting the ball through your 'keepers head etc or your keeper with 99 goal keeping skill drops the ball into his own goal.......
But not focusing on these glitches which are often swept under the rug, the game is actually very fun to play - especially if you have 4 human players on the same team (with the use of a multitap), with each person being assigned to a player.... Read more ›
Thae EA just like to make a whole bunch of cash off of so-so games whilst most other game companies such as Konami who do much better jobs with games don't get the praise and success they deserve.
Finally this to have changed. Finally I see people going to the stores to buy Pro Evolution instead of FIFA. I myself have stuck with Pro Evo ever since I got the second one and everytime I went to a friends house I told them how much FIFA sucked compared to PES. This is simply put more realistic and fun to play. Sure maybe the graphics are an teenie bit worse than FIFA but the fact is that the game runs more smotthly.
There have of course been some updates, these are that attacking works differently now, in that dribbling has become slightly easier whilst passing has become slightly more difficult which in my opinion is a good change because in the fifth edition I remember passing too much and nearly never trying to dribble past someone... Unless I was C.Ronaldo playing against a second division team in the master league.
Also in the fifth edition I remember having more possession for nothing... I mean sure my defence was solid and they never scored but neither did I, half my matches ended in nil-nil draws, because of an easier counterattack and offense in general this is changed and finally it the average match won't end up in a dull draw.
I'm just so happy to finally see more people buy PES instead of the FIFA series which has been declining ever since 98...
