DON'T BUY THIS FRIGGIN' GAME!
I'm actually shock that the game made it past the games testers! Its shocking, and it could be a killer blow for the series. FIFA might not be the best, buth at least its consistent. PES2008 is like a throwback to anther time!
Game launch walkthrough:.
I proceed to buy the game at Woolworths after looking around for the cheapest deal - I got the game for £39.99 (the same as at Play.com), rushed home as my excited little legs could take me (grabbing a four pack of cans on the way). I get home, rip the game out of the cover, and frantically shove it into the ole 'George Forman'.
Starting video looks cool, music is forgettable though. Hmmm... Why are there bikini clad girls in the opening video? No matter, where's the online mode? what's this? PS3 owners may experience difficulties? FFS, I just paid £40 for this crap! That's odd, why do I have to register? Damn I need a USB keyboard. Christ that was a waste of time. Why can't I get into a game room? This is frustrating, still can't get into a game. Finally, I got one! I'm going to pwn you noob! Yeah, im into the box, just about to score...! WTF?? they scored? how? OMG this game is like a slideshow...
Pass this game by
PLEASE, it is the pits. I have been a 'devout PES fan since the 4th game, and I currently have the 6th on my PC (which is head and shoulders above this crap). I'm struggling to understand how a game that has been this anticipated could of been allowed out of the doors in the condition it is at present. It basically hasn't even gone through testing, and it shows. Dreadful frame rates, terrible keepers who apparently fumble the ball on goal kicks (you haven't seen that no? - lol...not

)
Besides that the game just doesn't feel 'next-gen', infact it feels like a PS2 game being emulated on the PS3 - thats how bad it is. I seem to remember Seabass bragging about how the PS3 version would be the definitive version, and how it would be far superior than the XBOX360 version. Seabass needs hanging for that kind of fantasizing...
I know one thing for sure, that unless the next PES gets universal 9.x review scores, I will not be buying it. THIS GAME IS A JOKE (reed the red text above). Now where is my PES6?
