    I am in sort of an agreement with some of the reviews, but one thing I can say about this game despite what u may think. This game emulates real football (soccer to the northwestern world) far better than FIFA has. In fact this game would be a perfect gem if it wasn't for the few bugs and the terrible refereeing! If you can get past that it truly is the closest we have to real gaming I am in sort of an agreement with some of the reviews, but one thing I can say about this game despite what u may think.

    I love this game, but there is just something that makes me not to play it for a week: -bad refereeing -if the AI decides to win they will win -if the AI decides to get a corner they will get a corner -sometimes your players aren't able to stop the ball like a normal human.

    I'm not satisfied. AI is certainly better than before, and you have to think twice before you pass,long passes and freekicks are also improved - and these are the good parts of PES5. Bad news: the game is not playable like before, players forgot how to run, they are too clumsy, and takes ages to control the ball when you recieve one and than to pass it. It is too hard to dribble, and I'm not satisfied.

It is too hard to dribble, and once you fool your oponent you cant easily skip past him(unless you are in full sprint with the ball), again he is all over you .there are too many fouls,and they are killing the game, and offsides too,..there are too many remarks,..little :-(… Expand

    didn't like it... players react very slow. If you are running side by side with the other player.....THE CALL IT FOUL!! fouls are realy bad in IA.....it has a lot of bad gameplay things...slow, bad shots... disapointing.

    well, better than 4 in some ways, worse in other. it uses the stupid way to make the game harder, suddenly your team seems worthless in running, passing or shooting. (things get worse in the semi finals). what i hate the most is that stupid goalkeeper who got worse in 5. other than that, best football game.

    Better than fifa 2006 but seemingly irritating. I'm not exactly the best gamer in the world but to be completely outplayed by countries i cant even pronounce is a little unrealistic. The fouls are somewhere between completely ridiculous and utterly irritating.

    I played this game on the PS2. And I'll admit, they definitely simulate soccer better than FIFA but trying to play can complicated and the menu looks like it was from 2000, but it's a good game. Just that I prefer FIFA.

    It's simple, Pro Evo IS football and the latest version makes enough enhancements to continue the series onward march to perfection. If you're a footie fan you need this, casual fans however might not necessarily appreciate the subtle modifications compared to previous titles.

    Can it improve on last year's version? The answer is most definitely yes, but like any successful team, you're going to have to work hard to achieve results.

    The pure footballing pleasure of Pro Evo 5 serves as a reminder of what it all should be about. Some fans of past iterations may not like the tweaks made here to a formula loved by so many, but evolution is inevitable and I think we're just about heading in the right direction.
