Best PC football game to date!
Sound-wise the game is 50/50. The commentaries are good and the crowd delivers emotion at the right time. But the soundtrack is plain lame!
The ball physics is the best there is in any football game to date.
The game play... well, it's the one most tricky department in the game, especially if you are playing against the cpu in Top Player difficulty setting. There are matches that you can send 4 balls to the irons, 65% of ball possession, plus 5 shots that are corresponded with almost impossible defences, and the adversary can pull one single shot straight to the net. Result? 0-1 to the cpu controlled player! The referee in most of the cases don't help either!
Ah... almost forgot of mentioning the stupid-ass cpu players that play for your side! Ever gotten into a red card situation with a teammate tackling from behind without your request? I did!
Strangely it's very satisfying to play PES2008!
Master League mode is again the main single player campaign. Pick a team, and take it to the top. Transfering players from one team to another in order to have a more balanced side! Oh... i find Cristiano Ronaldo almost impossible to transfer to your team. Don't no why!:D
But where PES2008 really shines is in multiplayer matches! It really gets your blood boiling! Fast and furious paced gameplay...
