Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (PS2)

For many years now, the Winning Eleven / Pro Evolution Soccer franchise has been synonymous with quality, realistic gameplay. But does the latest installment of the franchise live up to its predecessors? The answer is that not only does Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 live up to the former games in the series, it surpasses them with even more incredible realism and absolutely gorgeous visuals. Gameplay - 10: What has set the Winning Eleven series apart from all other soccer sims in the past is its gameplay. Once again, the gameplay of this installment of the series is excellent. All of the modes that we've come to know and love are back. The Master League (franchise mode for those who are unfamiliar with the series) is back in full force with an easier to navigate locker room menu. Now, changing your formation and rearranging players takes less time and less sorting through menus. In addition to the Master League, an international tournament mode is available as well as regular exhibition matches. But the features in the game are only a small part of the beautiful gameplay this game has to offer. In terms of actual gameplay, several changes have been made to better simulate a real game. For instances, rather than players making runs into a space occupied by defenders, they make runs into open space. Also, it's no longer possible to simply make a pass from one end of the pitch to the other from an impossible angle. In order for a strong pass to be made, your player must be balanced and have space to make a pass adding even more to the realism that this game prides itself on. It's also easier to clear the ball with a header while defending and on the whole, headers are much easier to get in position on. Overall, the changes that have been made to the gameplay are brilliant in terms of how they add even more realism to the game than there was previously. Graphics - 10: I have to admit, this was one area of the game that utterly shocked me. In Winning Eleven 9, the graphics were solid, but weren't spectacular. However, the upgrade to the graphics in this game was wonderful. While Winning Eleven 9 provided solid visuals that were, at best, ok to look at, the visuals provided in Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 are a joy to behold. This was a fabulous upgrade to the series. Sound - 10: The sounds are solid. The crowd reacts as you would expect it to. Good play from the teams on the pitch is well received by the crowd while poor play is scorned. The music in the game is just what you would expect from the series as well. Features - 10: Why a separate section for this you ask? Well, while many of the features in the game were covered in the gameplay section, some of the other features haven't been discussed yet. One of the biggest, nicest features I have yet to mention as of yet is the fact that Manchester United and Arsenal are fully licensed. Also, many new designs for boots and balls, including the ball used in the World Cup, are available to be used. There are also some new features in the WE shop including the ability to buy costumes for teams. Very nice add-ons to the game. Buy or Rent?: If you're a soccer fan, then there is absolutely no question that you must by this game. This, once again, blows FIFA out of the water. There is no better soccer sim on the market and no better way to play as the best players in the world in the comfort of your own home. Even if you aren't a soccer fan, rent this game and see how you like it. You may be pleasantly surprised how great a game it truly is. Reviewer's Score: 10/10

I've had this game for years now and still play it just because i haven't been bothered to go and buy myself a newer one. It's by no means awful, but there's a lot of minor issues with the game play that really bother me, too many to go into, but i think i might try Fifa next time.

no

A quick re-review after I commented on this game back in December now that I have played it for another 3 months... Negatives: - Player AI. This gets top spot because it's one of the biggest problems. One of the worst features of the game is the stupidity of the players. Playing doubles is annoying, I switch to a player to make a run into space yet he runs on his own towards the ball which my team mate is in control of (i.e. I lost control of the player for a few seconds). Or players standing around looking at you rather than moving into space, this is one area where FIFA wins hands down. Or one of your side backs standing in the corner playing your opponents onside even though the rest of the defensive line has pushed up to 30 yards from goal. This is the one aspect of the game which needs serious improvement. - there is very little improvement or even difference over PES5. It's more like an add-on than a full new game, hardly worth what I paid for it. if you have PES5 stick with it, hopefully the next version of PES will have more improvements. - inconsistent refereeing. I get at least a 1 yellow card per game and most are for fairly harmless challenges such as just bumping into opponents by accident. opponents rarely get booked for challenges. - the game doesn't know the rules. Back pass anyone?? - Poor offside calls. I've had opponents score against me even though they were clearly offside yet I get consistently caught for offside when I am level with the last man back. - Shooting: given time and space shooting is easy enough and you can score some crackers but try taking a quick shot with world class players and they will often balloon the ball even from 2-3 yards from the goal line. - Strength: it still amazes me how very low ranked players can consistently out run and out muscle world class players. - Team ranking: it is consistently easier to play higher ranked teams than low ranked teams. Sure lower ranked are more defensive but they also seem to be faster, stronger and more skillful than many higher ranked teams. - Master league - same old same old. I just don't bother anymore. - ball control: sometimes your world class players turn brain dead and lose the ability to control the ball properly. - the through pass is still very poor. - goalkeepers are awful. - unrealistic heading. They claim this game is very realistic. In real life I have yet to see someone make a diving header AWAY from goal yet still score with a header which has the power of a kicked shot. - Commentary: I am amazed at how little work they have done on the commentary. Like PES5 it is simply awful. (they should rent FIFA to get an example of how to do commentary) - black screen: still get the stupid black screen when there are substitutes. - music: not a big deal but the background music is just as dreadful as previous versions. Don't be so damn cheap Konami, pay for some proper music. Positives: - gameplay is still decent enough despite the AI stupidity. - referees, although annoyingly inconsistent and harsh, are better than PES5 in that they are no longer blowing the whistle every 20 seconds. - they now have player names (still no club names though) That's sadly all the positives I can think of right now. I doubt i'll get the next version of PES, i'm just getting very little fun out of this one.
