Generally favorable reviews - based on 6 Critics What's this?

  • Summary: PES 6 once again features the graphical and gameplay tweaks that enable each new title to play completely differently from previous incarnations. The shooting system has been the subject of extensive retouching, now enabling players to pull off much more accurate snap shots as well as being able to exert a much larger feeling of control when going for quick half volleys or difficult full volleys. The intelligence of players has seen a marked improvement. For example, players now make more realistic runs into space, often pointing where they would like the ball played. The physical aspect has also been beefed up, with strikers using their sheer presence to turn defenders and likewise, the defenders stepping a yard away to enable them to force players away from goal and not letting them spin into dangerous positions. PES 6 also has a number of new teams licensed for inclusion, with the International roster now featuring the official kits for Argentina, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain and Sweden. New gameplay modes have been added and features like the much loved Master League mode also returns, together with a host of new tricks, feints and animations that can be used to bamboozle your opposition.

  1. In PES6 you can make a sliding tackle and come up with the ball, and the AI has been greatly improved. The passing and shooting have been made harder to master and the players’ movement off the ball is better.
  2. For the single player, though, Master League is where it's at and, personally speaking, it remains the greatest game mode of all time in any game ever. [Dec 2006, p.84]
  3. Remains teh best 'arcade' football game around. [Christmas 2006, p.74]
  4. Pro Evolution Soccer still beats FIFA hands down. It may not be able to compete in terms of next-gen polish, but this is a case of matter over style. In terms of evolution, the new game might not be so pro, but it still offers a more rewarding football experience.

    Another season starts here... Best football simulator, better then ever before! But still there is some things to be improved: 1. More licensed teams and leagues will make challenge more realistic. 2. AI! Even at "Top Player" difficulty scores up to 12-0 can take place and some seasons in ML ends with more then 170 goals scored(213 - best) and less then 30 conceded (9 - best) after 30 matches! So it NEEDS TO BE MASSIVELY IMPROVED IN NEXT GAMES IN SERIES! Expand

    This is probably the best sport simulation right now and it cannot be even compared to FIFA because of all the possibilities, different style of goals, dribling actions which pes6 now posses, and with improved graphics and sound with commentators on 6 languages makes pes6 the champion. The only thing that pes6 need is a full license for teams and players and then it will be inevitable for any player. Expand

    The reviewers are paid to keep their business running - and PES is the sort of product that seems to sell on updates, not on any real changes. So what if there are a few tweaks here and there? the game is virtually the same. If you have played PES 5 there is no reason to shell out more for the same. Unless you want to feel updated.. Same issue is happening with other great games like Rome Total War which had such impact but now they milk its formula and release expansions and now Medieval II which gets such great reviews but really is just like Rome with different clothes and a few thin bones. PES 6 is still a solid experience for newcomers so it deserves a positive rating. Expand
