Customer Reviews

Wahoo a great soccer game again!
The title says it all. This is a great soccer game again. This is easily the best soccer game on the market. It amazes how each year additions can be made to the games that actually would make you want to buy the game again aside from roster changes. Yet THis is one of those games that necessetates getting the game again. Aside from killer graphics (the best you will see in a soccer game), you now have the ability to do three different types of kicks when trying to score a goal. That is incredible!!!!! Bottom Line: Do you like soccer at all? Own this brilliant, fun game.

The Best Soccer Game on PS2, Period
After purchasing Fifa 07 and being dissapointed by it's mechanical players and sluggish game play, I went ahead and rented Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 after reading a series of positive reviews online.

The difference between Fifa 07 and this game is night and day in regards to game play. With this title, I found a fluid gameplay that absolutely blows away Fifa. The most important thing to me in a sports game is gameplay, and this title is just better in that regard in every way. Scoring goals takes a lot more skill and creativity than anything in Fifa 07.

I also really love how international teams can compete in a world cup-like tournament vs. Fifa which holds no option other than exhibitions.

There are two things missing from this game that Fifa has, and thus makes me give it 4 stars vs 5. Those two things are a great soundtrack during menus, and a wide variety of teams. Missing from WE:PES 2007 are MLS, German League, and the authentic names of most English Premiere League teams. Despite this, the gameplay itself is so much stronger than Fifa's that it is a minor flaw in what is the best soccer game ever created.

I recommend renting both Fifa and Winning Eleven to see the difference for yourself before purchasing. There is a reason Fifa is so much cheaper and easier to find, it's just not as good as Winning Eleven.

They keep on getting better
I have played WE 6, WE 7 WE 8 and now PES 2007. Number 6 is so much fun, 4 years later I keep on playing it, even though it doesn't have licensed teams, or some players, but it is as close as the real thing as you can get. Then I played 7 game play was similar, but shooting seem very difficult and was very hard to get a decent shot from outside the box. I barely played #8 which was more of a cosmetic and license wise upgrade of the former 2.
Then this year my bro got Pro Evolution Soccer 2007, but since he lives overseas I had a chance to play it before it was shipped to him. It was a nice surprise the teams were more current than in previous version, but still don't include the updated teams from the winter transactions.
Anyway the game was awesomely upgraded. It's nice scores are more real than in Fifa. The players move like in a real soccer match, while in FIFA the players are like robots. It's so easy to pick up, although scoring is hard still. It doesn't matter how "expert" you are, you won't route your opponent that easily, if you are a good player but don't know much about soccer you will enjoy it, if you're a beginner at video games but like soccer you'll have a good time since the players move as yo would expect in a real soccer match.
When you win in this game you earn it. Not like FIFA if you get into the routines of players and find a sweet spot, you can do the same play over and over and score in 90 percent of the time.
EA did a great job with the World Cup game, but Konami is still the king of football as we call it in the rest of the world. The only thing I wish they can improve is the menu. It's basically the same lacluster presentation as previous versions.
If you're a REAL soccer fan there's no way you can prefer FIFA, even with all the licensing, btw Konami is getting more and more licenses every year. Anyway I only play with Real Madrid, as long as they are licensed that's the only important thing, hopefully they include at least all the nations that have qualified to at least one world cup, even with made up names.
