Apparently, Konami is really working hard on this one, and as someone who has no interest in Soccer whatsoever, this game fascinates me. Still won't buy it, but it's a really intriguing direction.
Apparently, Wii PES 08 is a strategy game. You can select several players at once by clicking/dragging the Wii pointer and perform group tactics and chain passes. Again, even as a non-soccer fan, I'm really impressed by the ingenuity here.
Some good quotes:
What the Wii version of Pro Evolution 2008 promises is an unprecedented level of control both on and off the ball, with the Wii-mote and Nunchuk used in tandem to direct the team.
What really excites is what is capable when the controls are fully grasped – with such untold control in your hands a whole different skill set is required, and after the relative disappointment of the Xbox 360 and PS3 incarnations, Pro Evolution 2008 on the Wii looks to be the first truly next-generation offering from the series.
