Good Points: Better than Fifa! Gameplay is second to none
Bad Points: Graphics Licensing
General comments: Some would say that Pro Evolution Soccer 4 is the best football game out, others argue that fifa still had the edge but one things for sure that if Pro evo 4 had better graphics and more licensing it would beet Fifa 10-0 - pro evolution soccer is miles above Fifa and as it continues to evolve it moves higher and higher above Fifa each time.
The problem this time around after 3 is that it has not been updated enough, Pro evolution soccer's problem is licensing - everyone that plays this game will know how annoying it is to get the game and have to update it or, sit there and play with teams where players names are so daft that they make no sense what so ever, however some people use this as a plus point to the game, I know people that can sit there hours on end and edit the game fully until it's maxed out.
In my answer to the licensing problem I would say create your own team, this way you get the excitement of playing in the master league with players that you know personally or ones you have just made up!
I think the master league is a great feature because you get to train players to make them better, you can also make it in to your own team by editing features, that means you can have yourself scoring the goal that wins the league, it brings a management side to the game, I love management games as well so combining the two was a great idea however pro evolution soccer management was a poor game and a waste of time, so don't bother!
In a master league you start off in division 2, and have to work your way up which is hard because you have a bad team but you do pick up some points then you can negotiate with other teams for their players, and improve your own, if you are new to the game then it will take you a while to progress up the leagues unless your playing one star!
Before starting a master league I recommend that you play some exhibition matches, just to get into the swing of things, even if you have already played the pro evo series because it does have a different game play to Pro Evolution Soccer 3.
Here's one problem with the whole pro evolution series, if you play a match against the computer 1 star or 2 stars is very basic however when you move on to 3 4 5 and now 6 stars the game gets a lot harder so if you are trying to pick up the game I recommend you play with a friend so they can tell you the basics and maybe even let you win a few times!!
New skills can be mastered in this game, and also one thing I love about this game is the training mode, you can do challenges to get up to 5 stars which is fun in itself but this also improves your skill on the pitch as well.
This game is a big party game, I would not recommend playing alone for a long time as it sometimes gets boring and repetitive and can put you off a great game.
A game that is relatively simple has a long lasting effect, and it's value for money as you always come back to play it and as you can not complete the game there is no end.

It is good in many ways, and it is very enjoyable. You can have good fun playing master leagues, cups and other things, but it has a one big flaw.
The bad thing is that you won't have much fun on your own, and it gets repetitive very quickly, and without friends this would be just a decent football game. It's very good, but Pro Evolution Soccer 3 is much better.

There is little doubt in my mind that this is the best football game to be released. The realism that is standard in the series, returns, and is improved upon, both with game physics, and graphical touches. The fact that some of the players will wear gloves in the winter, is a nice example of the graphical improvements.
The editing function is also expanded upon, to allow for more varied reproduction of kits, emblems and flags. Upon starting the 'Master League', you are even given the chanc ...

Overall, PES4 is a great improvement compared to PES3. The graphics are much better, the replays are quite cool, the commentary is not that bad, and the stadiums and fans look quite real. However, I still do not like the Master League, because it is quite boring, just like its Asian Counterpart Winning Eleven 8. Well, I guess Konami has to change this a bit. But Overall, I think Pro Evolution Soccer 4 is a better game than Fifa Football 2005, and I also think is so far is the best PS2 Soccer Gam ...

How Konami (makers of Pro Evolution Soccer 4) do it I'll never know! Everytime you think they've made a game as perfect as it could be, they release a sequel that makes the predecessor look very poor! Pro Evolution Soccer 4 though, must be as perfect as a computer game could possibly be! The way the players move is exceptional, how players run into space automatically, the well utilised advantage rule, and there is nothing more satisfying than doing a triple stepover and pushing it past that poo ...

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 tea ...

This is what it feels like playing Pro Evolution Soccer 4 - I stand there breathing into my cupped hands and rubbing them together. It's bitingly cold. The crowd begin incessant chanting; the fate of the team lies in my hands. Staring at the ball, I contemplate what will happen if I miss. Not an option. I step back, blood coursing through my veins as I twitch my foot. I run, retract my leg with tremendous power when smack, "you idiot, how could you knock the joy pad out of my hand!" "Erm, you're ...

Pro Evolution Soccer 4 - This is the best game in the whole Pro Evo series. The whole game has been re-developed. The ball used in the game is not the Champion's League ball but it's the roteiro ball which looks much nicer. There is now a referee on the pitch. There is now dirt on the players' shorts when they slide around, the players can now wear gloves and the free kicks can either be layed off or dummied. You can create your own style of penalty kicks like Figo-style and there are loads of o ...
