Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 is the latest Konami game in the well known series.This game is very disappointing.As you start the game you will feel that the music isn't good and it doesn't feel to suit the game's interface.Unfortunately this is not the only bad thing at the start of the game.The menu is not as user friendly as it is at FIFA 08.A well known issue for this series is the lack of licenses.Eventhough there have been made numerous add-ons ,the game just isn't as far as FIFA 08.A comparison to FIFA 08 is a fair comparison.These two games are the most important on the market in this segment.The gameplay is very good and I may say they are a little better than at FIFA 08.But this is basically the only thing better at this game.The music is horrible.The graphics look basically the same,the sound is horrible and the commentators have very few lines and their comments just don't fit with the game,they fall behind on many occasions.One thing that bothers the eye in this game is the crowd.It looks awful.They look very 2D-like and it just doesn't suit with all other 3D elements of the game.Another downside of the game is that it's boring.There isn't as much to do as in FIFA 08.For the first time in many years Pro Evolution Soccer is much below FIFA.Do not buy this game if you have the last year version.It's basically the same game.I recommend it only to PES hardcore fans,and even they might be disappointed.For the rest of us FIFA 08 will do the job.
My Score 6.3
