A step backwards in thw Winning Eleven Franchise, July 23, 2007
= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Winning Eleven Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 (Video Game)
In their quest to have the same popularity as FIFA, the guys at Konami have bungled up the only thing that made their celebrated soccer game stand out; gameplay. PLayer movement now reeks of FIFA 2007, as it has become substantially easier for a player to weave through the defence, and it has become much harder to effectively control defenders. Player reaction has definitely decreased, and at the moment Henry would be hard-pressed to outrun a defender like Robert Huth. Basically, all defenders have turbochargers that enable them to miraculously catch up with the speediest of players, and easily strip the ball away from them. Gone is the endless shirt pulling and defensive tugging and impeding experienced in the previous games that did so much to replicate real-life soccer situations. In short, the game has ceased to be a simulation, in its bid to draw more arcade game players. Granted, it might draw one or two sympathetic players, but in the end it will surely alienate a lot of hard-core Winning Eleven players, who played it not for the virtually unchanging graphics or the choppy, clunky, Soviet-era menus, or even the lack of licenses, but for the realistic gameplay which was surely ahead of its time. Until they did THIS piece of crap.

Great game... but not much of an improvement, December 5, 2007
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Winning Eleven Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 (Video Game)
Basically the same as winning eleven 9. Still beats FIFA though. Gameplay is far superior and it just feels more involved and alive. FIFA does look prettier, but player movement is very unrealistic. Movement is much more fluid and smooth in winning eleven. FIFA looked like a bunch of ants spazzing out on the screen. What they need to do is work on graphics as well as player movement (as stated in some previous posts above). Overall, this is still a great game in the Winning Eleven series.

Great Game, Beats Fifa on all categories., October 19, 2007
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Winning Eleven Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 (Video Game)
This Game is the best soccer game available out there for any system. Fifa is only an imitation of a soccer game, w/ this game u can install boots, kits, balls, faces, stadiums, socks and more. I have been playing Fifa and this for over 7 yrs and so far PES is way ahead of Fifa, online play is great also on this game.
