    If you are new to the game, don't take it too seriously, and don't play online, then this might seem like a sublime football game.

So whilst Pro Evo 2013 does indeed offer blistering good playability with a pace of action that can have your heart jumping out of your chest, all this is meaningless when Konami yet again have proved inept at balancing the AI engine. Whilst they have seen fit to make crossed balls and heading totally pointless this year, they have totally overpowered the dribbling ability in the game which once again, just like the old days, means that competitve PES is basically a rat fight between penalty boxes as the two opposition robotically and unrelentlessly push to score as many easy tap ins as they can within a 10 minute game. Sure, PES can play a stunning game of football, but if you are interested in winning, it is totally necessary to bypass the game engine and exploit exploit exploit. Konami fail once again.… Expand

    this is easily the best pro evo since pes 6 a much welcome return to the good old days. the graphics are superb as ever and the game play is drastically slowed down but it makes the game so much more compelling to play

    Been playing PES 2013 for a few hours now and got to say it's better than Fifa 13. The one thing that puts it head and shoulders above EA's latest outing is that you need to work hard to score. You can't just play a through ball or square the ball to score as in FIFA, you have to carve out a chance. Yes it doesn't have the polish of FIFA but it also isn't a cash cow like EA's game.

The other thing it has is Master League. After playing many months of FIFA 12 Ultimate Team, I am happy to be back in control of a club. This PES plays better than it has for many years and looks better than ever. I'm loving it and I'm just in the middle of adding the latest option file. Got to say this is the best footy game this season.… Expand

    I have always been a PES fan, and this game reminded me exactly why. Brilliant game-play and the ability to run at defenders ( something that Fifa lacks in my opinion). The satisfaction of scoring goals is a great experience and no two goals are ever quite the same. The graphics are solid and the soundtrack catchy.

    The ones who rate this game badly are simply the conformed FIFA-players who are obliged to throw **** at PES just because they like giving **** to the underdog.

    PES 13 is the rewarding alternative with incredibly realistic gameplay, loads of different ways to score, defend and play tactically and it is very refined. Please don't listen to the zombie-probably-payed-by-EA-games-haters".

    Quite simply the best PES of the new generation. Some issues online, but overall plays smoothly with razor sharp reactions. Every goal involves some form of skill or effort so is very rewarding. FIFA better watch out this year, the king is back!

    PES 2013 offers unrivalled playability and heart stopping action, albeit via an engine with some brutal flaws. However, with the super improved defending, it is for the most part possible to block repetative lame exploit gameplay as is common when playing against rat-boys online (I have turned into a rat-boy as well when playing strangers online..PES does that to people). However, due to the scripted nature of PES, sometimes it will be very hard, if not utterly impossible to defend the lame exploit attempts. Furthermore, as soon as one realises how much of a hand the AI has in influencing the flow of the game, rage induced panic attacks can occur, especially in situations where some rat boy is exploiting my ass whilst the AI is simulataneously beating me with a faeces covered stick. As much as my PES induced rage would could drive me to hitting sites all across the internet spreading lots of hate about the game. Since PES 2013 came out. I have been totally uninterested in playing any other game. I own a high end PC and can play any title you care to name totally maxed. But all I want is my daily and rather large, intense hit of PES 2013. For that reason, even though I hate PES and want to stamp out Konami's guts, I have to give the game a 9/10.    … Expand

    Sem sombras de dúvida que foi o melhor jogo de futebol do ano passado. Seus gráficos a jogabilidade nem tanto e seus modos de jogo e interatividade são mágicos.

    Me gusta el juego, pero no me gusta su precio, su velocidad, su lag en el online ni la poca diversión que ofrece. La potencia de los disparos esta bien, y el tema de los pases también. Me sigue faltando un publico de verdad, no cartones giff, y elementos arcade.

    PES 2013 combines the strengths of its recent predecessors to deliver the most focused game of soccer the franchise has seen in a while. As a result, the series comes closer to FIFA's quality than it has in years.

    If you're loyal to Pro Evolution Soccer series you got used to its various shortcomings and you will be pleased with the 2013 edition – it's the best one yet. But today choosing PES over FIFA is like watching a match in the second division instead of the Champions League final. [12/2012, p.52]

    A good improvement on last year's PES, but still lacking the polish to be top dog again. [Dec 2012, p.70]
