Game Revolution:
"Similarly, PES 2009 is a drunken misstep for the series, but because I'm a sucker for the underdog, I'm hopeful that Konami will get it right the next time around. In the meantime, we're left with a game that looks, smells, and feels a lot like regret and a hangover."
Pros:
+ Solid gameplay
+ Fleshed-out feature set
Cons:
- . . .but nothing new or inventive
- Unexceptional Become a Legend mode
- Unpolished online play
- Server ghost towns
