    This game COULD be so great... with the help of a single patch you can bring your whole football world to a up to date state, the graphics are great... BUT: This game cheats. Constantly. Your players work completely differently then the AI ones. There are "phases" when it's simply impossible to stop an AI player without committing a yellow card foul.

BUT: This game cheats. Constantly. Your players work completely differently then the AI ones. There are "phases" when it's simply impossible to stop an AI player without committing a yellow card foul. The players both on the offense and the defense position themselves totally different for you or the AI (just try playing against a team, you just controlled leaving the default settings for this team on... You'll see what I mean) - The AI has always up to 7,8 players in the box while your sorry defense line waits to be broken somewhere between the middle line and the 16m... It could be great but is simply frustrating. Sure, you can learn how to beat the AI, but it's not because you play it as a football game on the same terms, it's because you learn to dribble in circles forever until you get an opening on goal etc... I call this meta-gaming and it's not what I want to get.… Expand

    Fun sometimes, but more often it is just too frustrating to play for more than an hour. Stick to the 'console' version.

    By far the best PES on the PSP, but it's still not the perfect conversion of the PS2 version, and I'm not talking about the graphics nor the controls...
    There are also from time to time some kind of "lag" during wireless games that completely screws the game.
    Also, the games lacks a true training mode, but fortunately, the master league mode is here and it's absolutely fantastic.

    It may be a little rough around the edges, but PES is still the most action-packed footie game on PSP. [Dec 2007, p.122]

    Much the same in terms of gameplay, but still ace. We're not sure there's enough new here, though. [Mar 2008, p.72]

    The core gameplay is so well-balanced. [Mar 2008, p.103]
