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.

    In PES6 you can make a sliding tackle and come up with the ball, and the AI has been greatly improved. The passing and shooting have been made harder to master and the players’ movement off the ball is better.

    The best football game available for any format. Period.

    Looks a little better than the previous incarnations but is mostly quite familiar. The lacking editing possibilities of the 360 version are a disappointment, but the game itself is still as fun as ever. [Dec 2006]

    Gripes about PES prove a modern-day "Princess and the Pea" story. The general excellence of the game's simulation serves to unduly highlight one measly kilobite of pure devil's armpit. [Issue 13, p.96]

    Given the sports simulations that have decorated 360 so far, there’s an inescapable sense of yearning for what could have been. An evolution is no longer enough. [Dec 2006, p.110]

    Although the tweaks and alterations since the last version are only minor, Pro Evolution Soccer is still a decent footie game. But this year the gap between "FIFA" and PES has grown ever tighter. The overall experience of "FIFA" is certainly better but PES still has the hardcore gameplay.

    There’s just far too much disappointment in PES6 to make it fun; I’m not talking about hype or other people's opinions here, I’m talking about a company too lazy to address the problems that have plagued the series pretty much since the start.

    PES 6 is a very slight downgrade from the remarkable PES 4 and PES 5,but it's still an awesome game.Licensing has gotten better with officialPES 6 is a very slight downgrade from the remarkable PES 4 and PES 5,but it's still an awesome game.Licensing has gotten better with official Ligue 1 teams licensed,but the unlicensed Bundesliga is gone,however Bayern Munich are back and licensed.

    Gameplay is as solid as all the previous titles in the series,the game takes a framerate hit an odd time but never really affects gameplay.

    Sound is meh,crowd noises just aren't loud enough to make yourself think it's a football match.

    Game Modes are identical to PES 5.

    Overall,PES 6 still remains superior to FIFA 07.    … Expand

    I'm afraid this game just got worse. It's not say it's not any good, because it is, it's just Pro Evo 5 was and is so I'm afraid this game just got worse. It's not say it's not any good, because it is, it's just Pro Evo 5 was and is so much better. To say that the passing is harder seems an excuse: It's just broken (from the previous version). The AI seems to have been broken also (again comparing to PES5). I can't stress enough just how frustrating this title is to play if you've mastered PES5. I've spent years and years growing up with PES and I'm huge huge fan of the franchise, but my experince with PES6 on the 360 is leaving me a bitter taste in my mouth; everytime I play it! I expected something better, as I've been given in each rendition in the past, but this is by far the tamest and lamet effort Konami have made so far. If you like the Pro Evo franchase, don't kid yourself and pretend this is better than the previous titles - just because it's new. Just go back to PES5 and write this one off as a bad apple.… Expand

    As said above really, I love pro evo and have played number 5 to death on xbox live, but this just doesn't cut it. Passing has been As said above really, I love pro evo and have played number 5 to death on xbox live, but this just doesn't cut it. Passing has been ruined, it isn't harder, it just doesn't work. The players seem slow and unresponsive as is the speed of the ball, it actually at times feels like you are playing footy on the moon. I keep putting the game on, playing it and trying to make it work, hope that something will click and it will become playable, but alas its not happening, I just want to play pro evo 5 again.
