"PES 2008 still feels unmistakeably like PES in all its mercurial, collar flicked-up brilliance. Yes, there's plenty of room for improvement; there always is. And doubtless, a couple of years down the line, this version will seem crude. But here's the thing – there is no other game on PS3 that you're guaranteed to still be playing obsessively this time next year. PES is magic because it is football in all its glory and madness, and as such, you're never really finished with it." - An excerpt from Official PlayStation Magazine's review of the PlayStation 3 version of Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 9/10
