    2009 should have been EA's year to finally claim the footballing crown with a solid FIFA game across all systems, but despite the radical changes and improvements to their game, Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 still manages to score a winning goal with this new one.
  2. A very enjoyable football game which is perfect for the small screen of the PSP.

    Not much improvement on last year's game but excellent playing options. [Christmas 2008, p.84]
  4. PES 2009 on PSP is much the same game as last year in terms of gameplay with the odd improvement where required.
  5. PES 2009 is a better game than PES 2008, on account of the technical issues being ironed out and solid but basic online support, but, disappointingly, it's practically the same game.

    A no-frills fan favourite. [Christmas 2008, p.96]
  7. Overall, I could recognize some regress concerning Pro Evolution Soccer 2009. The handling has become trickier and although Konami bought the licenses for the names of the players and teams, this list does not contain all names or the right ones.
  8. Apart from the Become a Legend mode, the new edition has nothing much to justify the acquisition for owners of previous versions.
