Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Game changing
This game is an absolute must for the soccer lover.

The controls take a little getting used to, but after that they open the door to a whole new way of playing, giving you an incredible control of the game.

For instance you can control more than 1 player at the same time. You can also pass the ball anywhere you could think of, make players run to open spaces, etc. The possibilities are endless!

And the best part is that you do so in an intuitive and easy way. Once you get used to the new controls that is :)

In my opinion this title revolutionizes the soccer video game industry.

Literally game changing.






Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This is why the Wii was created
This game is truly revolutionary. I am a football nut and watch the games on Setanta all week long. The Wii interface is a dream come true. You can control players off the ball with ease, and strategically control a match. Passing all over the field is as easy as pointing the cursor on-screen. Defending is much more about controlling the gaps, and man-marking rather than button-smashing. Corners and set pieces are brilliant as you send players on runs to draw away defenders and then sneak in a fullback at the last moment for a free header.

Seriously, this game is the best thing to happen to football games in a long time. Fifa/W11 are just graphical improvements one year over next ad nauseum. They can't touch the change in gameplay that we have here in the Wii version.

Granted, the graphics and presentation are not the best, but I prefer watching swimsuit models in HD if I want eye candy.

Great deal for the best sports game on the Wii!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Easily the best sports game I've played for the Wii...
I've tried a few different sports games for the Wii and none seemed to really make use of the Wii remote capability properly. Thankfully Pro Evo does, the gameplay system is superb, online play seems to work well - I have not experienced any lag yet.

Even if you're not a big soccer fan I think this would be a good addition for anyone who likes sports. I had bought FIFA for the Wii and was seriously disappointed, this is as good as it promised to be....



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Original concept and innovative game play
I have played this game everyday since purchasing it. The controls take a little time to learn, but once you get the hang of it, you can't stop playing. It is so satisfying to control so many aspects of the game in such an original way, by using the wii controllers. Being on the wii mean you don't get next gen graphics, but you do get great game play which mean it's very fun to play. Highly recommended.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fantastic soccer game for the Wii
The Wii version of Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 is one of the best sports titles for the Wii. The ability to pass anywhere you want to on the field combined with excellent animations, online play, and number of liscensed teams makes this a must own for any sports fan and/or soccer fan.

The controls take a bit of getting used to at first, but once you spend time in the Training Mode, they become second nature. Also, the manual is extremely thorough and includes many, many moves that you can perform in game. Read the manual, and you will see just how indepth this control setup is.

There is definitely more freedom within the game which is a breath of fresh air. You can pick absolutely anywhere on the field to pass to, send multiple players on a variety of runs (and directions), and set up really neat plays on set pieces. The camera is pulled back farther than the other versions in order to see more of the field so that these type of plays are possible. You can also dictate on the fly how offensive or defensive you want your team to be by hitting the directional button on the remote.

On the defensive side, you have a variety of options. You can control just one player: All you have to do is click on a defender, hold A, and drag him any which way you like. You can also have control over your entire defense and pick which players you want to man-mark and zone.

The crowd chants/reactions and commentary are actually fairly well done. The menus and menu music is actually very nice for the first time in a PES game and they are very Wii-ish in style. Shooting is responsive, the framerate is absolutely solid, the ball physics are spot on, and the animations are superb.

This is THE best sports game for the Wii. I would recommend it for anyone who owns a Wii and enjoys soccer or for anyone who just likes games that really take advantage of the Wii control scheme.
