Pro Evolution Soccer 2008: A Detailed Review
Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (PES 2008) is a football video game developed and published by Konami. It was released for Windows, Wii, Nintendo DS, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Xbox 360 and Mobile in 2007. PES 2008 is the sequel to PES 6 and the eighth installment in the Pro Evolution Soccer series.
PES 2008 features a number of new features and improvements over its predecessor, including a new game engine, improved graphics, and a more realistic gameplay experience. The game also includes a number of new licensed teams and players, as well as a new Master League mode.
Gameplay
PES 2008’s gameplay is very similar to that of its predecessor, but with a number of key improvements. The game’s new game engine provides more realistic player movement and animations, and the ball physics have been improved to make the game more challenging and unpredictable.
One of the most noticeable changes in PES 2008 is the new “Teamvision” system. This system gives each team in the game its own unique playing style, based on the real-world team’s tactics and formations. This makes the game more challenging and varied, as you need to adapt your playing style to each opponent.
Another new feature in PES 2008 is the “Become a Legend” mode. In this mode, you create a custom player and guide him through his career, from the youth ranks to the international stage. You can choose to play as a striker, midfielder, defender, or goalkeeper, and you can develop your player’s skills and abilities as you progress through the game.
Graphics
PES 2008’s graphics have been significantly improved over its predecessor. The game now uses a new high-definition graphics engine that provides more realistic player models, stadiums, and crowds. The game also features improved lighting and weather effects, which make the game more immersive and atmospheric.
Licenses
PES 2008 features a number of new licensed teams and players, including the English Premier League, the Spanish La Liga, and the Italian Serie A. The game also includes a number of national teams, including Brazil, Argentina, and England.
Master League
PES 2008’s Master League mode has been revamped and improved over its predecessor. The mode now features a new transfer system that makes it more challenging to sign players, and a new youth development system that allows you to develop your own young players.
Online
PES 2008 features a number of online modes, including online matches, online tournaments, and online leagues. The game also supports cross-platform play between the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game.
Overall
PES 2008 is a great football game that offers a realistic and challenging gameplay experience. The game’s new features and improvements make it a significant upgrade over its predecessor, and the game’s impressive graphics and licenses make it one of the best-looking and most authentic football games on the market.
