    PES 2011 continues the Pro Evolution Soccer revolution that started with last years instalment and delivers a playing experience that long term fans of the franchise are more accustomed to. With all the improvements it easy to say this is the best PES game in years.
  2. Konami has finally found what they were missing during the last years - the magnificent gameplay. This year the players are smarter, the passes have more freedom and a lot of the game modes has been tweaked to the better. PES is back.
  3. While FIFA 11 may be the better, more polished and controllable simulation of football, in many respects PES 2011 is the more charismatic of the two games. If you're only interested in the finished article then you might want to wait another year for further progress, but in the meantime PES fans can hold their heads high, and fans of the beautiful game are on the road to being spoiled for choice again in light of this encouraging instalment.

    The game is very good. Beautiful graphics, realistic control and a lot of interesting innovations. This is soccer simulator, not beautiful tv translation control. Expand

  2. No need to elaborate this. Simple recipe from Konami kitchen that we consume for years. Of course there are flaws but i spent so many hours playing this that it would be at least inappropriate to comment on those. Must have for everyone who loves real soccer experience. Expand

  3. Better than previous versions of PES. It's not great, but this is the path to go. It's more fun to play against someone this than FIFA. Lack of licenses. Expand
