Pro evolution soccer is a brand which fills in the gaps between games. What i mean is that when there is a drought of game relases, you go and play pro evo. Fact. When there are games out, like Unreal Tournament 3 or Call of duty: Modern Warfare, Pro Evo will happily take a back seat, and wait until you are bored of those games. This is why Pro Evolution Soccer, year on year, gets hundreds of hours of play-time. Its addicting formula of tactics and gameplay nearly always ensures its place as a chart-topper.
Gameplay: 9
A normal high score for PES in terms of gameplay. Great feeling when you score, as always
Graphics: 7
Obviously better graphics than PES6, due to console changing, but bad framerate lets it down
Sound: 3
Its disrespectful and unusual for me to say this, but a 3/10 is an improvement. Bad music still, but better commentary from Lawro and Champion.
Features: 6
The master league, as ever provides a great amount of entertainment for commited PES fans. However, many features (such as the Custom ML mode) have been taken out.
Online: 5
Addicting online matches against freind and stranger alike will entertain, but choppy framerate ruins the fun sometimes.
Longevity: 9
As ever, this PES will last you until the 09 edition comes out.
Overall Score: 7.5/10
