PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Alex Zikas  "Light Years Above All Fifas And Tifs!!!
Gameplay Makes U Feel Incredible Awe! The Graphics Are Incredible And Having Played The Recent Fifas I Strongly Believe That They Don't Have Any Special Graphics, They Are Just Colourfull. Pes Graphics Are Better, More Atmospheric.

In Pes The Players Are Absolutely Real. U Will Recognize In A Second Zidane, Davids, Raul, Owen Etc.the Good Thing Is That The Players Not Only Are Designed Superbly But They Also Have Their Own Style Of Play, Capabilities And Moves Exactly As Their Real Counterparts. The Stadiums R Awesome, The Best Ever Seen In A Videogame!

Gameplay Is By Far The Best Ever Seen In A Videogame! Also The Ai Is Mind-blowing!!!

The Only Disadvantage Is The Poor Commentarry, But Sincerely, Who Cares??

This Footy Game Is A Trademark Of Paradise!!!!"

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Lloyd Ho  "Fantastic ... Absolutely The Best Gameplay Of All Soccer Games This Game Has. You'll Be Stunned By The Ai. The Great Filling When U Made A Breakthrough At The Last Minute Will A Roaring Goal! All In This Game, No More Fifa's 10-0 20-0 Scorelines While Scoring Is Just Like Another Repeated Movement Offake Dribble Goal. Only Aspect The Game Lost To Fifa Is No Full Fifa License(real Players Names), Premere League, Uefa Touraments Or Road To World Cup (quallifying For World Cups).

Commentary And Roars From The Crowd Is Not That Good. Need A Real Loud Roar When You're Attacking Etc...

I've Been A Fan Of Konami Winning Eleven(iss, Pes) Series For About 4 Years And This Is Best One Made ^.^

A Little More Improvement In Sound ,environment And More Cup Modes As Mentioned Above It'll Be Perfect. ^.^

Konami Soccer Is The Best!
They Really Done A Good Job. ^.^"

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Zadaramadawson  "There Are So Many Genuine Reasons For This Game Being Amazing. The First Has To Just Be The Atmosphere. At First It Will Just Seem Like Any Other Football Match But Trust Me When Your 2-1 Down And In The Last Minute You Get A Corner Kick Everything Changes Your Heart Starts Beating Your Blood Pressure Goes Up And You Suddenly Have The Desire To Cross This In For One Of Your Star Strikers To Bang It Into The Top Corner To Level The Scoreline And Your Reaction To When You Score Will Be Real And Emotional. You May Think Ive Gone Over The Top But Try It For Yourself Whether Your Playin By Yourself Or Playing Your Mates In A Tournament There Is No Better Sense Of Achievement On Any Other Computer Game Than For Your Team To Lift That Trophy! No Other Football Game Even Competes With This. Another Good Thing Is That Unlike Fifa Games Where Your Substituting A Player But He Scores 6 Goals Before He Comes Off To Make The Scoreline 54-23. The Scorelines On This Are Realistic. One Match You May Draw 1-1 Whilst In Others You May Win 4-1. But Either Way I Can Guarantee You Will Enjoy It. I Think That Without A Doubt The Best Thing In This Game Is The Gameplay. Its Just Unbelievable The Shots,heads,volleys And Saves All Look Real And Theres No Better Thing Than To Score A Goal That You Have Thoroughly Worked For. Theres Not Much To Be Improved On This Game Except For The Sound. All This Game Needs Is A Lick Of Polish And A Clean And It Would Be Perfection. All There Is Left To Say Is To Buy This Game Because When Youve Stuffed All Of Your Mates And Won The Tournament You Will Not Regret It."

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Daniel Brandt  "I Have Read Many Reviews Of This Game, And None Of Them Were Acurate Enough I Think.

I Am A Typical Ea Fifa Soccer Player. Has Played All Releases. A Game Which I Have Always Loved To Play Due To Excellent Graphics, Sound And Fifalicens.

I Bought Pes Because I Wanted Something New, And Because Fifa Soccer Was Becoming To Boring. They Hardly Do Any Renewel, And It Was Still To Easy To Win....
Fifa Soccer Is Easy Since You Can Score What I Call Robot Goals. Just Repeat A Special Move Or Pass And You Will Score!!!

Now It Was Time To Try Something New...pes

The First Few Days I Played This Game I Was So Disapointed. The Graphics Was Bad (i Thought) The Intro Was Borring With A Star Was Music Intro Kind Of Thing...!?!?

The Comentary Was Poor And The Names Of The Players Where Not Correct (since They Did Not Have A Fifa License)..

The Game Play Was Good Though, And Even Though I Was Very Disapointed The First Week I Kept Playing The Game.

I Lost Many Games On The 3 Level, And The Ai Seemed Very Good.
I Normaly Get Angry When I Lose A Game, But With This One I Never Got Angry, Because I Always Felt That I Did Not Deserve To Win Any Way.

So I Played On. Okay After I Have Played This Game Now For Some Months It Doesnt Bother Me So Much That The Comentary Is Not Good Or That The Grapichs Are Not As Good As In Tif2002 Or Fifa.
The Gameplay And Ai Is Excellent And It Keeps You Glued To The Screen For Hours!

It Is Now My Favorite Soccer Game. Graphics Can Still Be Improved So Can The Sound And The Fifa License Thing.

But Worst Is That You Can Not Play Bundesliga Or Premier League Etc. Only Fake League Cups!

But The Game Itself Is Excellent!!"

Paap  "This Is By Far The Best Footy I Ever Played Because The Graphics Are So Realistic, You Can Feel The Atmosphere. If I Compare It With Other Footballgames Like All The "fifa's", This Is Football Etc. I Think That Fifa 2001 & 2 Have Better Graphics But The Gameplay Sucks, Pro Evolution Has The Best Gameplay Of All The Footies. The Only Thing I Have To Complain About Is The Little Number Of Teams You Can Play With, But That Makes It Not Worse. If You Like Footballgames You Must Buy This One, Buying The Full Price Is Pes Really Worth It.
I Think Before You Get Bored You've To Play So Many Times Until You Get A "playstation-hand". So Buy It And Enjoy!!!!!"

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Mohammed Siraj  "After Being A Dedicated Fifa Games Player For 4 Years, This Is My First Iss Football Game. After Playing For 10mins I Was Amazed At The Realism Of The Game. It Was Good To Be Able Not To Score From Anywhere On The Pitch (ie. Fifa Series). The Game Looks Good And Plays Even Better But I Wonder Why Konami Are Not Granted The Full Fifa License Becuase The Fifa Games Do Not Deserve The Proper License As They Are Terrible Compared To This Amazing Football Sim. The Only Downfall Of This Great Game Is The Pathetic Commentary As It Reoeats Its-self So Much And Says The Stuff Ages After It Actually Occurs. On The Whole It Is The Greatest Football Game I Have Played. Well Done Konami!!!"

Jeremy Over (jezza)  "Pro Evolution Soccer Is, Quite Simply, A Must Buy For Any Football Fan. Forget Fifa And Tif, There Can Be No Doubt In Any Reasonable Person's Mind That This Is The Best Football Game Ever To Be Released. The Gameplay Is Too Realistic To Be True, The Graphics Are Very Difficult To Fault, And The Playability Is Truly Top-notch. The Game Itself Has Some Truly Amazing Players That Are A Real Joy To Play With - Every Time I Score With Maradona, It Is A Big Thrill! If One Was To Be Ultra-critical, The Commentary Can At Times Be Somewhat Repetitive And Irrelevant, But This In No Way Detracts From The Superb Overall Level Of Enjoyment."

Mark Oliver  "Very Good Football Game, But Not Quite Great.
Graphics Are Nowhere Near Pushing 128-bit Boundaries, And As For The Kits, Some Of Them Dont Look Anywhere Near The Real Ones. Sinnce When Have Italy Had A Big White Stripe Thru The Middle Of Their Shirt? Or Croatia Only Had4 Squares On Their Check Jerseys?
And The Commentary Is Awful, As Is The Lack Of Any Good Special Tricks. But They Are The Only Problems, What A Footie Game!"

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Griff Tier  "Excellent And Thouroughly Playable. However, Lots Of Minor Little Flaws Which Can Make It Frustrating For First Time Users. Players Sometimes Have A Mind Of Their Own. Eg Run Towards The Ball When You Don't Wan't Them To Or Just Pull Up When Waiting To Recieve The Ball. A Sequel With The Flaws Ironed Out Would Be Amazing. Can't Keep Off It Once You Get Through The First Few Frustrating Hours. Best To Turn The Pants Commentry Off Though."

Dave Speedy  "Pro Evolution Or Fifa...that Is The Question. I Picked Pro Evolution And Overall, I Believe That It Is The Best Choice. The Gameplay Is Excellent, Especially The Crossing From The Wings And The Master League Is A Joy, I'm Even Playing For Liverpool At The Moment And Scoring Plenty Of Goals. The Downside Is The Commentary, At Times It Is Awfull. This Is The Only Department That Fifa Is Better, But Pro Evolution Is A Must Buy For Nights In On The Beer With Your Mates."

Miguel Zenha  "Itīs True What They Say: This Is Perhaps The Gratest Football Simulator, In Any Platform, Of All Times. The Graphics Are Very Cool, You Can Even Recognize Some Of The Players Faces, Like Figo Or Zidane. The Sound Is Okeydokey, In The Tradition Of The Previous Games. Playability:nothing Short Of Spectacular! This Is The Most Imersive Game I've Ever Played, Specially If Played Against A Friend. Dangerous For Social Activities, Is The Better Label I Can Provide For This Wonder."
