  • Summary: PES 2008 features a brand new intelligence system, called Teamvision, that adapts and reacts to players own gameplay styles to ensure that the computer controlled opponents are always challenging and forcing the player to think and chance their style of play to avoid being out-thought by the game. It learns counter attacks that target your weaknesses and look to exploit any repetitive tactics players use. Defenders react better to danger, closing down the ball and charging at shots and the goalkeepers hold shots that are closer to them as well. Teammates make more intelligent runs into space and the close control has been sharpened to ensure quick and fluid passing and speedy attacks can be built. The next gen versions also feature extensive edit modes so players can completely customise their PES 2008 experience. [Konami]… Expand

    Quite simply a footy fans' dream come true. [Dec 2007, p.54]

    Built upon a strong engine, but not doing much to keep up with the Joneses.

    This year's PES is a step backward, and letting players fake injury to draw fouls is the least of the offenses. [June 2008, p.81]

    I dont care about all the reviews saying fifa is technically superior with better graphics and more accurate functions. When it comes to the most important aspect which is, the gameplay, PES 08 is a sports game like no other. Master league is one of the most addicting and driving modes in a game as it makes you fiend for victory so that you can gain experience for your players, and earn money to buy better players as you progress. if you enjoy soccer games on the xbox 360, you would be a fool not to own this.… Expand

    SOOOoooo disapointing, Ive played football games for as long as i can remember, and have always favoured pro evo over fifa. NOT ANY MORE! Im just getting sick of forking out 40 quid every year for the same game again, and again. Fair enough there have been minor improvements over the years but this year konami have taken a big step back whilst fifa have taken a huge leap forward. So enough is enough and until konami start making the effort to upgrade the game. its fifa for me. WELL DONE EA SPORTS!!… Expand
