Re: WE/PES 2008 Next Gen - Discussions Thread (Last Update 09/27/07)
I agree with the reviews of PES2008 !
While playing the demo, I realize that there are more improvments between PES6 and PES2008 than PES5 to PES6.
It's the best PES available at now !!
I agree about the fact that PES2008 doesn't made a big step forward with the New Generation Platforms but still a lot better than PES6.
For me 2 points that made me mad :
- Graphics.
- Running animation. (I don't know why they didn't at least keep the one from the old PES)
BUT, I don't understand why FIFA08 doesn't got the same marks on reviews.
this year it's equal in term of fun and gameplay and even better if we consider the licences and different modes of play.
My review :
PES2008 : 17/20.
- graphics : 17/20
The overall graphics aren't very good but the players looks very realistic with the possibility of editing all the aspects of the game.
- gameplay : 18/20
Still the legendary gameplay of PES

- sound : 17/20
Good sounds and additions but always the same commentaries...crap
- value : 17/20
You can play this game again and again with your friends and always enjoy it

. (+2 if the ML is improved and TeamVision is an innovation)
FIFA08 : 18/20.
- graphics : 18/20
The overall graphics are superb but (at the opposite of PES) the players doesn't look very realistic (ugly faces)and no possibility to edit all the aspects of the game (18/20 because when we play a football game the camera isn't at 5 meters of the player)
- gameplay : 17/20
Big step forward by EA. Very close to a real football game. lot of new moves and skills. Just the feeling that we haven't the total control of the players as PES.
- sound : 19/20
Amazin Athmosphere. Superb commentaries (don't car about music

)
- value : 17/20
This game is really amazin with its differents modes and 1on1 game. But in my opinion, playing 2vs2 games can be very difficult. (maybe more speed and response can give another dimension to multiplayer mode)
I think this year winner in term of average review is FIFA08.
I repeat I play PES since ISS on SNES and FIFA since the megadrive and for me the 1st world war was over in 1998 with a constant winner...KONAMI
This year, FIFA declared World War 2 to PES and began directly with the heavy artillery.
