    PES 2008 is a bit of a mixed bag, really. I really enjoy the World Tour mode, where you use the old PES stock characters like Castolo and Minanda to take on each of the national teams, and I like the "slot machine" mechanic used to unlock new characters from defeated teams. Being able to have players equip items to improve stats is a nice touch. But the actual gameplay itself seems a little broken and, compared to other iterations of the game, really barebones. The DS doesn't really take to a game with precise controls like those in the PES series. It's all right, but FIFA 08 seems to be a better choice still.… Expand

    Offering no discernible improvement over its lacklustre predecessor and paling in comparison to more accomplished DS football titles, PES 2008 is best relegated to bench-warming duty.

    You're probably as well-served going for FIFA '08 on DS than you are this. That said, this is a decent attempt at portable football on the DS that carries Pro Evo's name, though don't let it fool you into thinking it's anywhere near as majestic as other versions.
