Games Radar UK (Pre-2006)
The most playable, rewarding and downright realistic football simulation in videogame history - and the finest multi-player experience on PS2.

The game's AI is simply mind-blowing. In terms of soccer games it's peerless, it's so much better than ISS PE 1 & 2 that it practically renders them unplayable once you've had a crack at PES, and all comparisons to Fifa really are unfair.

In terms of gameplay, nothing comes close to recreating every essence of football as this game. It’s perfect. Everything that’s in the game is, well, in the game....Choose FIFA over this and you deserve to be shot!

Pro Evolution Soccer is, quite simply, the most essential football game ever.

[GameSpot UK]: Once you play Pro Evolution Soccer you won't think twice about even looking at another football game.

If you can put up with the shifty interface, somewhat uninspiring visuals and dire commentary, you’re in for a treat. Beneath the surface, PES is the best football there is.

There is still room for slight graphical improvement and massive changes in the sound department.
Read Full Review >Gamestyle
The controls in the game feel slightly unresponsive, and sluggish... [Yet] it is the best single player football game out there, and yes, its also the best multi-player football game out there.

Except for the licensing part......and of cos the commentary portion which need slight improvement... IT'S THE BEST. Simply amazing. Once it get the license sorted out in the near future.....i believe it's a perfect 10 rating for this game..Realistic not like Fifa which feel like arcade game.
