 The best so far... April 28, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
After I saw most of the reviews for this game i was pretty sure that I wouldnt buy it. But I did anyway because the PES series have always been good. At first, I felt like throwing this thing outta window, but as time went by I got used to it. Then, I started noticing the substantial improvement it had from the last version. Here are the pros e cons about the gameplay. I figure you guys probably know that it is still lacking the real names for many englsih clubs and the german league. So I am only gonna talk about the gameplay:
cons:
1 - lags a lot in xbox live...because it requires more broadband capability...if 2 ppl tha thave good internet connection play it wont happen...
2 - Aesthtically speaking the game is a bit worse too...the image of the players runnig is a little funky and the player's arms are way too big for them
3 - the referee's whistle is annoying...
pros:
1 - much more realistic ...it is harder to go around and dribble everyone from the oppositie team
2 - the shots are better directed
3 - the overall representation of player's quality is better...
4 - the section on tactics and formation are better represented in the field
Overall, this game is still very good and I dont even touch my 2007 anymore...i might take some time but it is gonna feel as good as the previous...If they keep the same idea for the 2009 version with the arrangements that they already know they have to do it will be the best footbal game ever!
getting there April 27, 2008
the gameplay is what PES is known for, and by my account it is still great, the only real letdown is the lack of detail, the commentary gets very repetitive and is not really geared for first and second half difference (it says the game is almost over when its merely almost halftime) other than these little quirks, the game is great. It would be great for Konami to make sure the game is more polished.
Still great April 24, 2008
I'd heard plenty of criticism from the British and Australian/New Zealand gamers about this game when it came out back in late October. After playing this year's version of PES 2008, it became clear to me what the real issues with this game were. While the gameplay and game mechanics are still top notch, they also went slightly downhill this year. I was just fine with the presentation, but some of the finer details in the game make it more obvious how lazy Konami are. They haven't released an effective patch to fix the replays, and they haven't added anything new to the game in awhile. Online is where 90% of the complaints for PES 2008 come from, as it is completely unplayable. The truth is that PES is still king when it comes to offline play, but Konami are resting on their laurels at the moment and don't impress me. While I love this game, this might also be the last PES I buy as it's obvious this series isn't improving at all.
Still solid but at the same time still the same issues April 23, 2008
This game is still the front runner of soccer games - great controls and realistic play. But it still suffers from the same old issues - horrendous replay system (lousy frame rate for replays too), janky menus and pretty lousy soundtrack. But those are all secondary to the spot on gameplay. If only they'd just get those team licenses and remap some of those buttons so you don't go for a boot and end up fouling with a slide tackle!
 Most disappointed PES ever March 25, 2008

I am a PES die hard fan since winning eleven 6, but PES 08's online play is really very absolutely HORRIBLE, how can Konami makes this one's online play worse than PES 07. If you enjoy offline play, this is the one for you, but if you prefer online play, AVOID it and save your $ for PES 09 (hopefully they will make next one better). Despite online play, this game will be worth 4.5 star.
