Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (PS2)

For many years now, the Winning Eleven / Pro Evolution Soccer franchise has been synonymous with quality, realistic gameplay. But does the latest installment of the franchise live up to its predecessors? The answer is that not only does Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 live up to the former games in the series, it surpasses them with even more incredible realism and absolutely gorgeous visuals.Gameplay - 10: What has set the Winning Eleven series apart from all other soccer sims in the past is its gameplay. Once again, the gameplay of this installment of the series is excellent. All of the modes that we've come to know and love are back. The Master League (franchise mode for those who are unfamiliar with the series) is back in full force with an easier to navigate locker room menu. Now, changing your formation and rearranging players takes less time and less sorting through menus. In addition to the Master League, an international tournament mode is available as well as regular exhibition matches. But the features in the game are only a small part of the beautiful gameplay this game has to offer. In terms of actual gameplay, several changes have been made to better simulate a real game. For instances, rather than players making runs into a space occupied by defenders, they make runs into open space. Also, it's no longer possible to simply make a pass from one end of the pitch to the other from an impossible angle. In order for a strong pass to be made, your player must be balanced and have space to make a pass adding even more to the realism that this game prides itself on. It's also easier to clear the ball with a header while defending and on the whole, headers are much easier to get in position on. Overall, the changes that have been made to the gameplay are brilliant in terms of how they add even more realism to the game than there was previously.Graphics - 10: I have to admit, this was one area of the game that utterly shocked me. In Winning Eleven 9, the graphics were solid, but weren't spectacular. However, the upgrade to the graphics in this game was wonderful. While Winning Eleven 9 provided solid visuals that were, at best, ok to look at, the visuals provided in Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 are a joy to behold. This was a fabulous upgrade to the series.Sound - 10: The sounds are solid. The crowd reacts as you would expect it to. Good play from the teams on the pitch is well received by the crowd while poor play is scorned. The music in the game is just what you would expect from the series as well.Features - 10: Why a separate section for this you ask? Well, while many of the features in the game were covered in the gameplay section, some of the other features haven't been discussed yet. One of the biggest, nicest features I have yet to mention as of yet is the fact that Manchester United and Arsenal are fully licensed. Also, many new designs for boots and balls, including the ball used in the World Cup, are available to be used. There are also some new features in the WE shop including the ability to buy costumes for teams. Very nice add-ons to the game.Buy or Rent?: If you're a soccer fan, then there is absolutely no question that you must by this game. This, once again, blows FIFA out of the water. There is no better soccer sim on the market and no better way to play as the best players in the world in the comfort of your own home. Even if you aren't a soccer fan, rent this game and see how you like it. You may be pleasantly surprised how great a game it truly is.Reviewer's Score: 10/10

No game wrong one.??.?

well this game its easy to win a match infact it might be too easy i dont normally play this kinda game but its sooo easy im usually getting a score 16-0 or 15-3 its not hard to do it gives you the goals not much hardwork involved.i dislike the menus theres so much rubbish before actually playin a match, the music is irritating but then theres not many game menus thats good.the graphics are pretty good i have it for pc didnt realize this came out on ps2 now im even more impressed it must be a very old game for old its pretty fun but its too easy.the commentary well its 2 guys that keep repeating the same thing.if your a hardcore football gamer then this probably isnt for you, if however your wanting to learn how to play on a easy game try it.

I've had this game for years now and still play it just because i haven't been bothered to go and buy myself a newer one. It's by no means awful, but there's a lot of minor issues with the game play that really bother me, too many to go into, but i think i might try Fifa next time.
