Customer Reviews

Long Game Title
Firstly, your opponent that quit on you R. Conover, may have been me. I left a game last night because my opponent had a terrible Internet connection.

Anyway, for my review. WEPES2007 is a mixed bag, with mostly good aspects. The gameplay is great, like it always has been. My biggest gripe from last year's game has been fixed, and that's the fact that my teammates now run for a loose ball. Last year, they didn't, and that completely put me off from the game. This year, however, my teammates now work as a team. They also attack the opposition when they have the ball, whereas they ran away from the ball-controller last year. Just this one fix has greatly increased the enjoyment level over last year's version.

Some people will complain that it's too hard to shoot, when it's actually realistic. If you are able to get set and have time to line your shot, it's not that hard. But as we all know, that's not likely to happen. So, you'll take shots on the run a lot, and those are less accurate. That's realism. I would rather have it hard to make a shot and have a realistic score than to have a 13-10 final. This is not an arcade style game, it's sim.

The graphics are disappointing, not much of a step up from last year's PS2 version (which I owned and reviwed, and did not like). Luckily, I have an HDTV, so I get the clarity and crispness of the game. However, if you do not own a high-definition television, don't expect the look of it to wow you. Closeup, the players look good. On the field, they look like they always have.

The audio is virtually untouched. The announcing is accurate, the crowd sounds good, and the menu music is awful. The menus themselves are pretty ugly too, I forgot to mention that.

Online play is great, as long as you're not playing an opponent who has a bad connection. That, of course, can happen with any game though. If you are playing an opponent with a good connection, you can have brilliant experiences online. The entire game is exciting online, very fun.

If you have enjoyed past versions of Winning Eleven (Pro Evolution Soccer), you will like this one. There is still a lack of clubs, but that's nothing new. You CANNOT edit team names, logos, flags, or stadiums. But, since I'm not a diehard international fan, I'm not bothered by that. The gameplay is where it's at, and Winning Eleven is great at gameplay. If you're a fan of the franchise, fan of soccer, own a 360, and have $50 (not $60), you should go buy the next-gen version of the series.

Is this next-gen?
I just bought this game and I was really excited about it. I opened it up and immediately tried to get to the edit mode to change some uniforms and player physics and get into the game, but OH surprise! there isn't an edit mode to change that kinda stuff, only a lousy change player name mode, what a dissapointment. Anyway I played the game and found out that the gamelpay has been slightly modified, and that's okay, it's kind of more realistic now, that's cool but the surprises keep coming and I found out that the German league was left out, what the "$%"#? Theeeeen and this is really serious: YOU CAN'T SAVE YOUR GOALS!!!!! AAAAHH!! What happened to Konami that realeased such an incomplete game? It feels like a beta version or something. Xboxlive is better than WE9, it isn't so lagged. I expected even more options for the 360 version than the last winning eleven 9, but actually they removed stuff form the game that complemented it. Great gameplay but it really sucked to leave out all those options, I still have a fool's hope on konami to release something on the xboxlive to change some options hehe.

Nice game but needs something more
Well... this is a very good game, I really enjoy playing alone or with my friends, if you like soccer this is the best game available. On the other hand it needs to be better finished, I guess they made a rush to release it for the 360 and forgot to add more details. But it is the best soccer game for the 360, there is no doubts about that...
