We deserve better than PES 2009

User Rating: 4 | Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 PS3

Having played the PES series of games for 8 years now, it is with great disappointment that I report my review on PES 2009. Quite simply, this game is a study on how to kill a franchise. While the 09 version does improve on its immediate predecessor, on needs to understand that PES 08 wasn't worth the acrylic disc it was programmed on. A blank dvd would have been more valuable.

If you like to play sports game online, beware. Even with the high speed connections of today PES 09 gives you tons of lag and synching issues. You have been warned.

Offline, the game is tolerable, but nothing that wasn't done in PES 2007. Seriously, if you want to try the PES series, I recommend that you pick up a used pre-2007 version.
My overall score is 4 for this game; I have takedn 3 points off of a perfect ten because the online component is unplayable, and the remaining 3 point deduction is because it is simply the same game as years before except repackaged.
