I really wanted to like this... but it was just...
User Rating: 6 | Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 WII
I love PES. I think they make the best and most innovative football (soccer) games anywhere on the market. This game was innovative, however, due to the fact that it's SO STRIPPED DOWN, there's no way I could ever give it more than a 6. The features that made other PES games so popular were no where to be seen in this version for the Wii. There is no create-a-player, there is no make-a-team, there is no player stat editing, there is no pick-a-ref where you can pick the referee you want (not too important but still nice), it's missing a lot of game modes like Master mode, you CANNOT CHANGE THE CONTROLS, you CANNOT CHANGE THE CAMERA. These are key features for me. Oh and it only has like 6 leagues with only 1 or 2 with licensed teams. England only has 2 licensed teams in the whole league but la liga is complete. OMG YOU CAN'T TRADE PLAYERS. That's what upset me the most.
However, the controls are innovative and fun, and are probably the only thing I like about this game sadly. However, they're not enough to justify $40.00 in my opinion. I really want to return this game but I can't which is BS.
I wouldn't recommend this to a friend because of the incredible lack of features, but if you want to play a game once or twice cuz it's cool, go for it. Try it at a friends house or buy it used from gamestop or ebgames so you can return it in a week.
