IGN: Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 Review!

ITANI | October 19, 2007 | Reviews | PC Playstation 2 
Finally one of the first Pro Evolution 2008 reviews is here and there isn't very much to expect as I don't remember when the last time a Pro Evo game got a low score and this version isn't any different. The review talks about everything really, although there isn't many new features as we could have expected from Konami, but for Konami to introduce new features to such games it needs to leave last generation consoles behind and move on to next generation. Anyway Pro Evolution 2008 scored a hefty,

Rating: 9.2

Which makes this game qualify for the IGN Editor's Choice Award.

So Pro Evolution 2008 is more than welcome to the series.
Seabass and his team have come good, then. Next-gen Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 captures the essence of the original games perfectly, gives it an HD injection and takes the AI to the next level. It’s by no means perfect: the frame-rate drops when the screen gets really busy, usually during a quick clearance when the box is flooded with players or, occasionally, during a replay. But, when you’re actually stuck into the action, it’s likely you won’t really notice or indeed care. Of course, some players will think that a drop in frame-rate on a machine as powerful as PS3 is an absolute travesty and, in some respects, they’d be right. But if a flaw as incidental as this prevented said players from buying PES 2008 altogether, they’d be missing out on the most realistic, intelligent and enjoyable football experience on console yet.

    To be honest, I was going to get Pro Ev regardless of the score.
    That said, it's nice to see it got a nice high score.
