PALGN: Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 Review

PALGN Writes: "When Pro Evolution Soccer was at its peak it was hailed as the king of football games, offering great depth of gameplay and realistic ball physics. Recent updates of the franchise however have been accused of getting stale, seeing only limited tweaking and perhaps not being worthy of forking out the cash for. This all changed with the late release of the Wii version of PES 2008. With PES 2009 for the Wii just around the corner, we thought this would be a good opportunity to take a look at the 2008 version released a few months ago.

Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) on the Wii had been hotly anticipated by gamers for a number of reasons. Firstly because of the lack of a decent football game on the Wii (FIFA 08 with an outrageously over-sized Ronaldinho anyone?) and secondly because of the speculation of what motion-sensitive control might deliver. Fortunately, Konami ruled out strapping a Wii Remote to your ankle relatively early in the piece (although it was apparently considered). Instead, they set about developing a (r)evolutionary soccer sim from the ground-up that would shake-up the series and deliver a gaming experience with an unprecedented amount of control." (Pro Evolution Soccer 2008, Wii) 8.5/10
