General Comments

I, like many others was desperate to get my hands on Pro Evolution Soccer 4. PES1 and 2 were excellent games. PES3 was fantastic in so many ways. PES4 is disappointing.

The main problem is that in every possible way it is just TOO EASY!! Having earned enough points to buy an additional difficulty level I thought it would be ok. But scoring is just so simple. Just pass the ball around until you have an open goal then tap it in! You'll also find that you get loads of penalties from computer teams.

The master league set-up is improved so that you can choose who you want in your league and even create your own team. Player training has been changed slighlty but young players now get too good too quick. Old players are also retired and then reborn as young versions of themselves. Training these players from youngsters leaves you with players with skills in the 90s across the board.

If it's your first game in the PES series then you're in for a treat. It's still an enjoyable game to PES veterans, and if you're after updated teams and players then it may well be worth the money. Just don't be surprised if after a couple of months you're tempted to slip PES3 into the PS2 and get back to playing proper football!
