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.

I loved all the Pro Evs - until I played this! Its just too hard to get anything out of the game. Impossible to gain the ball, slide tackles just go through the opponents and shots fly wide. Every Watford player is like Ronaldinho. Rubbish!

Kyle L. gave it a10:
This is quite honestly the best game i have ever and will ever play, its safe to say you can go the year without buying another game, such is the depth and sheer quality involved. Some may argue its not a massive step up from PES5 but it never needed to be, the addition of 'other leagues C' because of issues with the Bundesliga copyright has been the best thing to come from the series, now you can make 18 teams of your own, creating all the players, strips and team info. The gameplay is flawless and 6 months down the line there are still moments that amaze and send a shiver down your spine, be it a perfect Beckham free kick, a magic Cristiano Ronaldo run or a thunderbolt volley from Gerrard this truly is another masterclass in sports sims by Konami. Im only worried that ill never put the game down.

This is footballing perfection. There are only two things wrong with the ENTIRE game - the licensing and the commentary. The licenses are being brought in gradually, and the commentary is bad enough to be funny. So, a perfect game. :D

Cristiano gave it a9:
It's undoubtedly the best in the series so far but there are some gameplay tweaks that I'd suggest to Konami: too often a player get a chance to head the ball towards the opponent's goal without being challenged by defenders. Make makring much more tight in the penalty area. As consequence of a too loose marking there are too many opportunities to score that translate into unrealistically wrong shoots and headers. The solution is to not let such situation arise so often. Better AI management then.

Perfect game. It is undoubtedly the best soccer game ever.

Apocalypse B. gave it a9:
Still is by far the best footie game in the game industry, but my word it is very unfriendly towards the defensive side of things! The physics engine and game mechs are excellent with improved controls and a quick game restart after a foul, but players with speed and skill are almost impossible to stop! Goals fly in from silly angles, keepers are very poor, and online play is shockingly laggy! All and all it is still 'the special one', but only if you play people in the same room as you!

Emil C. gave it a9:
I play the game since very begining of series.The Winning Eleven has been always better and more chalenging game than PES.It is true for this game too.I play PES6 on top level and opponents does not even come close to shoot on my goal so my wins vary from 2-10:0 depending on streight of opponent team.Players bump into each other too often , the ball bounces too much for real physics and thease bad things are not present in WE10 version wich is more realistic and chalenging than PES.So I give PES 9 and WE10 10 rating.PES6 should be considered as only 2 or more players challange as WE10 puts more challenge and effort in single player games.
