Game Revolution: Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 Review

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
