Excellent Gameplay
Stunning Graphics
Limited Management Options
Repetetive Commentary
After playing Pro Evolution Soccer 2 against a friend I was so impressed that I decided to purchase the game for myself. This game is everything a football game should be, fast, exciting, skill-based and innovative.
In my opinion this game beats any of the FIFA offerings that I have played, mainly due to the stunning gameplay, the game is also fairly difficult when facing off against the computer (on various levels) and it is the sort of game that does not become monotonous and is frequently challenging. As with most sports games there is nothing more satisfying than the 2 player mode, giving the user an opportunity to secure local bragging rights by decimating a friend and this game is no exception, giving up to four players the opportunity in one football match, which at times can very confusing, but highly addictive.
For all its smooth graphics and impressive gameplay, the game does suffer in the features department as the cup competitions are mainly limited to international teams. The managerial side of the game is much to be desired as there is a bizarre transfer system which operates using points instead of pounds which can be confusing to a first time player. As well as this there is the age-old complaint regarding the commentary on football games is ever present as the repetitive nature of Trevor Brooking's and Peter Brackley's pearls of wisdom fail to really add to the game or amuse.
In the bigger picture though, these are minor complaints and shouldn't detract from the quality of this product, which is so good that I haven't felt the need to upgrade to versions 3 and 4 as I still find this version so appealing.
