The first thing we noticed about Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 is that the graphics have been improved somewhat since last year's edition - player models are smoother and more natural than previously, even if getting the players to go where you want is just as hard as ever. There follows the usual tactical options screen, a brief summary of the (insanely crappy) controls, and you're straight into Pro Evolution Soccer action. Sound controls in particular would be a welcome addition, if only they allowed you to turn off the awful music Konami has selected for the Pro Evolution Soccer menu and intro pages, and the tinny, poorly rendered chants during the game.Īfter selecting Exhibition mode (the only option apart from Exit), you're offered a choice of four clubs (FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Liverpool and Manchester United) or two licensed national sides (France and Italy) to pit against each other. With no way of adjusting graphics, sound or controls, the demo has a very rigid feel to it.
This game surclasses FIFA from the graphics point of view, because its environment (stadiums, characters, and other elements) is more pleasant to watch and it looks more authentic and detailed.Another weak point in the Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 demo is the lack of any game options whatsoever. Well, they are unique, indeed! The main reasons to play this game are the exceptional graphics, visual effects, the engine that is remarkable for its high performance, and the smooth gameplay. The only international important names that are easily recognizable are Beckham, Ronaldinho or Zidane. The realism is not so prominent, and I am talking mostly about the well-known soccer players. The level of difficulty is represented by the high speed of the players.
If you think you are a soccer expert, you may skip the other modes like training and challenge mode, and choose directly the championship and cup competitions. It seems like the developers decided to dethrone the great symbol of football simulators: FIFA, and I have to admit that they hit the jack-pot with this one. World Soccer: Winning Eleven 7 International, known as the third game of the PES series, comes with promising improvements.
