    Totally revamped from the ground up, and it shows. Great graphics and the best gameplay the series has seen in years.

    The control system just isn't up to scratch and this makes passing the ball a bit like searching for a needle in a haystack.

    An excellent game that will appeal to any soccer fan who prefers realism to the fast-paced, high-scoring style of other soccer games.

    The slick presentation, amazing visuals and authenticity do a great job of sucking you in, however those who’ve sampled the delights of "Pro Evo" will soon been yearning for the realistic and intuitive controls and gameplay of Konami’s match winner.

    EA should not have changed the free kick/goalie kick and throw ins set up as it is annoying you can no long put ball spin on or select a certain player. different from previous incarnations in the sense it is more 'realistic' making it more difficult. once accustomed to gameplay 2003 rises above previous games. freestyle control is pathetic, and should not have been rushed. why did they not just leave the moves as the shoulder buttons? strange.. otherwise def game..… Expand

    This is a nice pretty game that will appeal to players who, well, are not very good at games or are below 10 years of age. It is too arcadey. PES2 is the game to get for true gamers and footy enthusiasts alike.… Expand

    Lets be honest. The only football games are worthy playing are all ISS Pro/ Pro evolution series by Konami. They are just UNBELIEVABLE. This game not only cant be compared with PES & PES2 but can't even be as enjoyable as ISS Pro '98!!! So, gameplay is crap. But I didn't liked also the graphics, were at least frustrating. The only think is worthy on this game is music and that's why I honoured it by rating it with 2.… Expand
