Football realism doesn't get any better, especially when it's in the form of Pro Evo Soccer. My cousin came round last night to have a go and it was a right laugh, it's one of those games that can ellicit an emotional response from the outset.
For instance: My brother was 1-0 down with literally a few seconds to go, he managed to sneak a corner to which he scored from and he reacted like he'd won the World Cup. Anyway, extra-time was played and he won on Penalties in the end, but it's the whole emotional side of things I was intrigued by. You know the developers have got it right when a game such as Pro Evo can attach itself onto as soon as you pick the pad up.
We all knew Pro Evo was going to be something special and it is - and then some too. The control method takes a little getting used to at first, but with perserverance, you'll become more familiar with it.
The depth of the game is incredible, I don't imagine any self-respecting football fans playing anything *but* this at Christmas - why would they need to?
So, the game i have most wanted this year, the game i have wanted the most for my whole life, the game i claimed as my GAD other 3 weeks ago, is the very game that i take my name from, is the very game that i DID NOT RECIEVE FROM SR when i most needed them to deliver the goods!!!
Why ME!!!!!!!
On the old game when you played a ball to a player sometimes it doesn't go straigh to them. As you can't move ur player manually to run and meet the ball, several occasions are produced when yuo just lose possesion.
On the new one can u move to meet a ball or not?
SHOOTO!!!!!!!!!!!
One gripe I have is that as usual the manual could be better and who translated the game? The aftermatch stats show 'shoots' on goal.
Having said that I can't wait to get back to it!
