Pro Evolution Soccer 4

THE BAD:
-Alot of unlicensed teams and players

SUMMARY:
Pro Evolution Soccer 4 is the best footballing game that money can buy. Don't just take my word for it. Even the top game reviewers have said pretty much the same thing. First of all there is Match Mode. This is where you play your friends. I don't know how many fierce encounters I have had with my brother and my friends. When you win, you feel on top of the world but also do not want to celebrate or say anything because you know that the tension between you and your opponent is very high. Losing gives you one of the most angry feelings you can get. The adrenaline rushes through your body and your blood will begin to boil as you demand a re-match. Yes, you will keep going back for more no matter how many times...

THE BAD:
~AI

~Licensing

~Not being able to transfer players in a normal league mode.

SUMMARY:
Well, I started out as a big FIFA fan, but I have just recently bought a copy of PES4 and I have no regrets. The game overall is better than FIFA in many ways, despite not having licenses for all teams and players. Firstly, the gameplay is fantastic. It is very easy to get used to and is far superior to it's closest rivals. After playing FIFA games for over 7 years, I was becoming increasingly annoyed with the slowness of the game and overall, pretty poor gameplay. But when I bought PES for the first time I was pleasantly surprised by the smoothness and good feel to the game. The second thing I would like to mention is the graphics. Many people seem to think that FIFA graphics are much better than PES'. I would like to...

THE BAD:
There are still a few mistakes that need to be patched up if this game is to reach its full potential on the PS2.

SUMMARY:
This is one of my favourite games. It is absolutely brilliant. The gameplay has been improved vastly to that of PES3. The graphics have also been improved. Sometimes you don't need to have the players name at the bottom of the screen because the faces are so realistic you just know who they are. There are still very notable mistakes in the game though. Ref normally takes the side of the CPU, thus, you getting less free kicks and pens and conceding more. Sometimes the ball can go 'through' a players body. There are a few more but they happen rarely. Konami are almost there. If they can smooth out the glitches then the next in the series is going to be a cracker.
Overall I think this is an excellent game to have and is very...

THE BAD:
Edit mode has become worse, Free Kicks are virtually impossible, so slow!

SUMMARY:
It is an improvment on previous games but a dissapointment for those PES Lovers

EDITING

The editing options have gone down, with the increase of teams it seems to have taken a toll on the options. Great options about it include better build face options, more teams to muck about with and you can change players nationalitys (Jason Euell to Jamaica, Kanoute to Mali) however the kit options have gone down (why do we need kits with hearts on?), the players faces (Alan Shearer does not look like that!) and the still no liscensing of English teams (Who are West Midlands Village!?). Editing has been ruined.

GAMEPLAY

Gameplay has improved with the increased chance of scoring from outside the area, varieties of tackle and many goal...

THE BAD:
nothing

SUMMARY:
I play online on www.pescup.com

Don't mistake me: I'm one of those hardcore WE followers. In my opinion
WE always was above the PES release, in something not much
understandable for me.

For the first time I think PES is well ahead of WE. Maybe it's due to WE
major flaws in terms of bugs and fluidity but PES leaves a "cleaner"
feeling, instead of the downgrading feeling it uses to leave.

More Arcadey?

I don't think so. PES3 was surely more arcadey than WE7 mainly due not
only to speed increase but also to other details like easier dribbling
and dumber defending. This time I don't see that. Surely the game is a
bit faster than WE8 (IMO welcomed change), but I don't see "easiness"
coming my way in terms of easier dribbling and sloppier defending. It's
mainly a more speedy...

THE BAD:
Although the gameplay and graphics are superb the licensing of some players and teams, International and Club Teams.

SUMMARY:
Pro Evoution Soccer is one of the most popular PS2 games ever! It has superb graphics and even better gameplay. It easily compares to the close rivals in the Sports genre, such as FIFA 2005 and This Is Football 2005.

There are many differents modes to play on. These consist of Match Mode - Play Exhibition Matches, League - Play a League from various different countries, Cup - Play a Cup consisting of many different teams, and Master League - Play full seasons with leagues and cups and a choice of various different teams.

Overall, this game is a must have for any...

THE BAD:
Commentary
