Product Description
PES 2008 features a brand new intelligence system, called Teamvision, that adapts and reacts to players own gameplay styles to ensure that the computer controlled opponents are always challenging and forcing the player to think and chance their style of play to avoid being out-thought by the game. It will learn counter attacks that target your weaknesses and look to exploit any repetitive tactics players use. Defenders react better to danger, closing down the ball and charging at shots and the goalkeepers will hold shots that are closer to them as well. Teammates will make more intelligent runs into space and the close control has been sharpened to ensure quick and fluid passing and speedy attacks can be built.

 Not much fun August 15, 2008
This game is not bad, just not a lot a fun to play. I'm sure it's a very faithful football sim, but only if you've learned eveything you know about football from Chelsea a couple of years ago and the old Arsenal.
I'd advise to stick to Pro-Evo 6 or if you have a Wii, go for Wii Pro-Evo '08. It re-introduces things like fun and a feeling of control to the series.
All in all, solid but dull.
 A bit disappointed July 5, 2008
I'm quite disappointed of this version of Pro Evo, I thought this will have better graphics and game play, but I was totally let down. Pro Evo 8's game play is, more or less, the same as Pro Evo 6. This game is only worth buying if you want updated team members for club, country, etc. That's about it. The graphics hasn't been improved at all.
I'm not too bothered with the new sets of menus and music that everyone is getting annoyed of. I guess the reason why this game is so expensive at the moment is because of the new graphical menus they have introduced to game, rather than improving the the game play and the actual graphics of the game.
 PES and PS2 do not mix! June 19, 2008
I have been a fan of pro evo since PRO EVO 1 and i'm sorry but all those so-called football gamers who praise this game must be either blind or had enough of FIFA. I would much rather play FIFA than this garbage!
There are more international teams and crowd chants are more responsive....but thats about it!
The overall interface of the game is exactly the same as PES 5 and 6, they could have designed it a bit differently rather than just changing the colour to a dull blue.
The menu music is incredibly ANNOYING that i have decided to mute the sound on my tv. What is the point in changing the music when there are more important aspects to ammend such as i dunno....THE WHOLE GAME!
Referees are 100% biased towards the COM. Passing and movement of the ball is shockingly slow. This game has NO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE and if i knew this before i paid 30 quid of my hard earned money then i wouldn't have even gave it a second look!
KONAMI NEED TO WAKE UP AND FAST!
Disappointing Rehash June 18, 2008
Upgrading from PES5, i expected some significant gameplay developments, better graphics, interface and music.
No.
Same music. same interface.
Worse graphics in game menus and no improvement in the game itself, either players, backgrounds or close-ups.
Even more annoyingly, the player names are old in CAPS. Why?
The gameplay has some minor improvements, and the Computer actually gets booked occasionally now, but it's still full of minor niggles and frustrations.
If i hadn't paid money for this, i'd have given up and gone back to PES5.
I still prefer it to FIFA, but it's no significant improvement on ISS, let alone PES5 &6.
My advice is: "Only buy this title if you do not own any PES titles."
 Second to none May 24, 2008
I take it all the bad reviews are from fifa nuts, pass pass shoot GOAL! Just remember people, all the plus points from fifa have been stolen from the pro eve series.
OK, so the music during build up is crap and you cant play as Swansea or Colchester. Who gives a damn? One thing I love about the pro eve game is the "register player" feature listed under "edit" mode. Here you can keep up to date with all the transfers as and when they happen. My liverpool side now has Degen and Schwarzer now plays at Fulham. And as for exciting, realistic gameplay, theres only one winner !!
