4.0 out of 5 stars PES 2009 (full game), 21 Oct 2008
By S. Noakes (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
I have been playing the NEW game for a few days now. I have played pes and fifa games for over 10yrs on various consoles and for the last few years on PC.
This year the look of the game has hardly changed. Slighty clearer graphics (stadiums good) but not as good as FIFA 09 (which i have also been playing). The new Champions league mode is good but hasnt been incorperated into the Master League (shame). All the other features of old, Leagues, Cups are the same.
Be a Legend is a New feature. You enter yourself at 17yrs old into any role in a team (attacking winger for me) and you have to play boring training matches and do well (these actually improved my general play). You then get picked if your good enough for first team matches, offers from other clubs and international call ups come in, etc, etc..

The Plus point is the gameplay.. Its a lot slower and geared around possession football. Your passes need to be aimed better and dont travel as far. Shots from outside/near the box need to be more prescise and the feel of the game for me is a lot better than last year.
Comparing it to FIFA 09 it losses on Presentation, Graphics, Sound and the big factor licences for teams/players/competions etc.
But it makes up for it in 'realism' and the new Be a Legend feature is novel but becomes very addictive.
Scoring a goal is so much more rewarding than on Fifa and with the amount of patches available to tweak your game (evo web & gaming access web site) you can soon have all the correct names, etc

If this came out the box with the fifa presentation i would give it FIVE stars. As it stands its still worth the money for real football on PC...

5.0 out of 5 stars PRO 9 caters for the footballers brain, 24 Jan 2009
By Mr. G. M. Hall "Chelseaboy" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I'm gonna come across as arrogant, but if you hate this game you probably don't have a very good footballing brain or you are just plain mental. Many professional footballers love this game, you know why cos it's a great representation of football.

Where to start- the pace of the game is much more realistic, the way you can change from slow passing to a fast fluid attack or just plain long ball is brilliant. Passing may take a while to get used to, but if you perservere, you can be incredibly creative. The through ball along the ground and chipping is amazing and if you have the imagination and skill you can make amazing passes with low stat players.

Shooting is better its harder but you can score from more obscure angles. Tackling has improved, you can make some crunching tackles that are true to life. 50/50 balls are more winnable and your team mates run into space. Some people have complained that they can't get bodies into to the box, I have not had this problem, but Pro is not a predictable game.

The Marseille Roulette has been altered to be used on the directional stick, and only certain players can use it, it is more effective and deadly a skill as a result. Manual passing has improved and you can play some neat intricate passes with it as well as some fast paced passes.

Become a Legend is addictive and will improve your general play. Set pieces are more effective in this game as you can curl the ball better.

Its always a joy to play this game with your friends, though when you get beat it doesn't seem that way!

Overall its down to your own imagination what you get out of Pro Evo 9. With its addictive Master League as well as other leagues and tournaments, it has the explosive nature of football from wonder goals to dodgy deflections, scintiallating performances and scrappy one nil victories.

VIVA LA FOOTBALL AND VIVA PRO!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Demo Review, 12 Oct 2008
By James Elliott "PES gamer" (Fife, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
So here we are again, ready for another Konami offering of PES. Keep in mind that i have only played the demo (pc) so i won't get too excited here!

I can understand the complaints people had over PES 2008 - yes it had bugs but overall, i felt the series was taking positive steps forward. This year, the ref's decisions are better and helps improve game flow. Offside decisions are still late but you could argue this is realistic!! As for teamplay, your teammates run into space better often holding up their hands for possession. I was able to play a lofted through ball from one side of the pitch to the other with relative ease. I think this game can be a big success if the public are patient with it.

Overall, a good demo and i look forward to the full release on friday.
