 Pes 2008 PSP Version March 22, 2008
I have Fifa 07 on the PSP and like it, I have been looking forward to PES 2008 on the PSP as it is a more in depth game but does not have the glitz of Fifa.
The games are quite different, Fifa is pick up and play, PES 2008 is not. I have had this for a couple of weeks now and tend to play it when I'm travelling and still to be honest find it difficult to score, which is part of the fun, when I do score especially from a header I thought it was amazing purely due to the difficulty in doing this. The game takes time to master but as you make small increments in skill it does get more pleasurable. You can down load various updates from the web to make your teams identity true to real life which I did and adds a element of reality. As everyone has stated, the master league is the best part of the game as is the world tour.
I enjoy this game, am 38 years old but a casual gamer. Yes there are flaws like slow down when many players are in the box but you have to appreciate this is a hand held game on a hand held console. I have seen and played the DS version which is abysmal. I would have given this 5 stars apart from the fact of the slow down and I had to pay for the online update.
Yes I would recommend this to anyone who likes a challenge.
 Up to date but no better than the last one! March 20, 2008

OK so we've got all the latest line-ups thats a plus. Still only 1 stadium (in fact exactly the same stadium as in the last PES - the cheapskates!!!) thats a minus. All the player likenesses seem to have got worse rather than better. The user-interface has changed but I'm fairly indifferent about it.
I cant really work out what they've actually been working on in the two years since PES2006. Game play has slowed down a little and seems a touch more realistic but there's not a great deal different. If you haven't got the last one then buy this one - otherwise don't bother!
Still miles better than FIFA though!
Desperate times........ March 8, 2008
Well, i bought this so i have somthing to do if im on a bus or dinner break etc and im bored. I think thats all ill play or for. Definately inferior to the Ps2 version in every way. Graphically, the detail is good, but some edges look rough and jerky at times. The framerate becomes incredibly slow if your in the penalty area usually with more than 2/3 players on screen. It can mess you up sometimes as you mistime passes and shots. I dont care about only 1 stadium really, dont take much notice of that anyway. another bug flaw for me is no commentary. Except 'Its a goal' or 'Great goal' when you score. Takes away the feel of the game slightly and even if commentary is repeated every so often, i still like it as it adds more realism in my opinion. Carrying over all my edit data from the Ps2 version is a good feature though, so all kits are correct and names, etc. All other modes from the Ps2 version are on the game and it generally is a very good game, just the certain flaws drag it down.
It looks like PES, it feels like PES, and it fits in your pocket! March 4, 2008

Aside from a few flaws, which people will obviously pick out, this is a brilliant little game, and a great advert for the potential of portable gaming in 2008.
It is true that it goes a bit jerky at times when there's a lot going on, usually in the penalty area, but not to the extent where it actually affects your enjoyment. Indeed, it is the only reason it looses one star.
Also, it's a bit more awkward to control than on a normal console, but then it is a handheld console and it wouldn't be fair to expect parity between it and say the PS2 version.
The only other negatives I don't really consider major issues, for example, there's only one stadium, but I really don't care, when do you actually notice what stadium you're playing in? And also, commentary is limited to when a goals been scored, but again, this isn't really a let down. Lets face it, the commentary does get a bit boring after a few games doesn't it!
The plus side is that this is a game that is graphically brilliant, comparing favorably with its home console counterparts, and feels just like any version of PES. The same movement, tactics, etc etc. The master league is in there, and works just like it always has done, except you can sync it with your PS2 game, carry on playing on the PSP, then transfer your progress back to the PS2 game and carry on there. A really excellent feature.
Any fan of the PES series I believe will be really impressed with this, and anyone new to the series, it's as good a starting point as any. It really is PES in your pocket! To be able to play a football game as good as this on the train, or at the airport, or in the garden, I think is reason enough to warrant buying a PSP.
a good improvement but still work needed March 1, 2008

without a doubt pro evo is pro evo, the best football game on any console, there have been some improvements but i still feel its the ones that are missing that let this game down. pro evo 2008 picks up where pro evo 6 left off. the graphics are defintely a little bit better and overall it does look visually better, the gameplay has improved with improved tackling, and dribbling systems, although it does still have a little lag in the gameplay when in the goalies area, but from what i have experienced so far it isnt too bad, as pro evo 6 had the same problems. but for the processing power of the psp its still great to play.
master league is back and this is where the game does start to shine. you can develop your players and your team and there are also the respective league and european cups in master league now whichmake for a better game experience on the psp. the datalink is also an improvement from 6, and the interchange is relatively simple.
like the other reviewer said, there is also the pointless world tour challenge mode, which was unnecessary, as id rather have the random select option, which is still missing from the psp versions.
this game still doesnt have a stadium select feature and you are left with the same boring stadium we had in pro evo 6. also the commentary is limited to goalscoring, but then again its not about the commentary is it?
nonetheless its still a great game for the psp. and definitely an improvement from 6,
