Product Description ------------------- Pro Evolution Soccer made every feint, pass and through-ball of the real thing possible, and its sequel ups the ante even further. Every aspect of the game has been refined or reworked, with Pro Evolution Soccer 2 now benefiting from three distinct dribbling styles, while shooting, turning, close control and passing have also been tuned to make them more individual and realistic. To ensure its digital versions of the world's top stars react and play as they should, Pro Evolution Soccer 2's players have all been designed with over 25 skill factors taken into account. Each is rated in areas such as attacking nature, balance, stamina, strength and and pass accuracy, each of which endow the players with differing abilities and playing styles. Similarly, the game's "Player Create" option allows fans to recreate their favourite players for use in the game, determining their appearance and performance using the aforementioned attributes, while also highlighting a further 19 specific key skills and abilities. Newly created players can then be implemented in the sequel's Master League season. Arguably the most popular aspect of the original game, Pro Evolution Soccer 2's "Master League" competition enjoys many new features. A third division has been added to the two of the original game, while Konami has also implemented a contract system wherein game players now negotiate with their virtual players if they want to add to their squad. Cup games now take place during the Master League season and squad rotation has become key to a successful season as players protect the fitness of their squad. Other new additions include an extensive training mode, while the game's huge array of options allow users to tailor every aspect of the game to their taste-–even down to designing their own club badges and kits. .co.uk Review ------------- Pro Evolution Soccer ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005NT6I/${0} ) was the best footy game ever, and what you want to know is: does this sequel better it? Thankfully, it does. The first thing that strikes you about Pro Evolution Soccer 2--an anglicised version of the Japanese Winning Eleven 6--is how much faster it is, not just in terms of the pace of your players but also their ability to turn more sharply when receiving the ball. In another clear attempt to up the tempo of the game, which some more arcade-orientated gamers complained was too slow and fiddly, players now recover much more quickly when they lose the ball--so there's no waiting around for them to have a slice of orange before they deign to take part in the match again. And they need to be a bit sharper on their pins because it's now much more difficult to tackle and conversely you have a lot more control when dribbling the ball. There are other minor changes, such as a slightly odd new horizontal camera option, but basically this is bigger, better and more. Just in case you've forgotten, that's bigger, better and more of the best football game ever, so if you like your footy you really will want to be purchasing this. --David Jenkins P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Review ------ "Better than the original, better than all its rivals... if you're into football games it's time to shell out. 9/10." -- Official PlayStation 2 Magazine "Every time a new version arrives it's subtly, yet fundamentally, better. Pro Evo 2 is no exception. 9/10." -- Edge See more ( javascript:void(0) )
