Forums - Gaming - PES08 a good buy?

okr on 21 March 2008

^ Thanks for the most sophisticated statement of the day.

The PES series has sold around 30 mio. copies for a good reason: It‘s one of the best and most accurate sports simulation ever created. For the fans every match is pure suspense.

@ Imthelegend )

ohh, kinda missed that part..

well then sorry @ DKII, radioioRobert and macross


@ rock_on_2008 )

well, it certainly is something different, if you play a game, then watch it on TV - playing it should be fun for haters of (non-american) football

Yea, I would really prefer not to get the Wii version.

I might rent PES 2008 and if I don't like it, screw both games.

Aj_habfan, I have both thee XBOX 360 and Wii versions of PES 2008 and I know the PS3 version is only superior to XBOX 360 version due to comfort of controller (in my opinion, anyway. Nothing from a game play perspective takes one game over thee other).

Nobody in my house wants to touch thee XBOX 360 version after playing the Wii version. Shoddy graphics are a very true argument, but no game has been such a deep change in mechanics, from a game play prespective, than PES 2008 for Wii. The pace is deliberately more realistic, the controls are excellent, and the tension is always there. It is an absolutely fresh look at sports games in general and I 100% recommend you not turn your head on it.

At any rate, PES > Fifa no matter which console you pick from so you are only looking at PES 2008 (PS3) vs PES 2008 (Wii).

On a side note, Master League is missing from Wii version. If that is a deal breaker for you (like I thought it would be for me), then you might want to take my gleaming recommendation with a grain of salt. But you would be doing yourself a huge favor in renting the game, at the very least.

the wii has the worst graphics, little better than PS2, as for the controls they are a lot different than previous. PES feels better with the Playstation controller and with those controls, atleast to a real fan of the series and pro player like me. Im playing the series since International Superstar Soccer (ISS days, the first game on PS). Anyway the game rocks. Controls dont have any problem on PS3 and the game looks beautiful, i havent seen the xbox version but im sure it looks and plays beautiful too.


What a fanboy bullshit...They all crap,m'kay.... all of them are not realistic enough(even in what you so call next-gen graphics), PS3 version just add some new skills, that's all.. Konami didn't put any effort on pushing hardware's graphics except Wii's one, but still they all suck at graphics....I will recommend you buy Wii's one PES2008, once you touch it, you will never goes back to any other platform.

It is really a next-gen gameplay, you will feel like God when you able to control almost every player on the field.

So go and buy(not rent) Wii's Version of PES2008 now!


Man u r a joke calling me a fanboy

Looks like u never played the game before, older versions that is. If its the first time u played the series then shame on you. The gameplay all those years made the series what it is today, changing that and the game is ruined. Im playing the series since 1996 fyi. I never said that the graphics of the game are state of the art, and yeah maybe they suck compered with fifa, but PS3/xbox graphics are better than the wii in this game and in all multiformat games. Do i say anything wrong here?

Ask urself who is the fanboy here


He doesn't need to. Look at his sig. Also, he enters a thread where the guy is asking what PS3 game he should buy (FIFA or PES), and this guy tells him to buy a 360 to play the game. God that's funny. Yea, he is not even sure if he wants a soccer/football game, but this guy thinks the best advice is to spend $350 on a system to play it.

Then he calls you a fanboy... classic...

To the OP, I would rent the one for the Wii first, and see if you fall in love with the control scheme. If you don't, then go with PES08 on the PS3.

if you turn your head on the wii version it's only you thats going to miss out - take a look at the ign reviews, rent it then decide for yourself as with full drag and drop control over every player, free online play and not hearing a single player yet to say "i've played Wii pes and didn't enjoy it" it would be interesting to see if you're the first.

The Wii version is 40 bucks, and is incredibly fun. I have NEVER been into soccer games before, but I cannot put it down. It absolutely schools the last gen controls of the "next-gen" consoles.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

selnor on 22 March 2008

personally fifa is simulation, PES is arcade.



bigjon on 22 March 2008

@selnor

I have not played the Other PES games seeing that PES:Wii is the first one I have played, however, I have played a few FIFA games and the Wii version of PES is much more realistic that FIFA(the one I played, 99', 2002', and 2008.

I rented PES 2008 for PS3, it took me quite a while to get used to, but I actually really like it. I played against my brother and it was good fun. I haven't even tried online yet.

I'll probaly end up buying it.
