Closing Comments
Ever since the curtain was pulled back on Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 for Wii, we knew it was going to be something special. The integration of IR into a sports game has been extremely minimal so far, but is absolutely ideal in this situation, allowing players to not only play the ball specifically, but direct traffic and precisely move every player on the field in tandem, making for the most realistic, strategic, and intuitive soccer experiences we’ve ever seen. It’ll take a bit of time to learn the basics, but Pro Evo is extremely rewarding, is hands-down one of the top sports titles on Wii. The game trail blazes with a new design, capitalizes on proper Wii usage (minimal waggle here, with a huge emphasis on the pinpoint precision of IR), and adds a flood of features such as Wii remote player trading, Wii Connect 24 “Invitation Matches” that let you play AI-controlled versions of your friend’s career team, full online with random opponents and friend play, and on-field Mii integration.
This game is not only filled with modes and options, but it’s filled with the right modes and options, and that’s what makes it a must-have sports title on Wii. Yes, it has some issues to iron out, such as the somewhat clumsy defense system that doesn’t let you take direct control of just one member of the team, and the fact that the game’s new design makes it a hybrid of play calling and multi-task control (no traditional mode here), but in the end we’d take this design of Pro Evolution Soccer for Wii any day. If every design took the time to truly innovate on Wii as much as Pro Evo has, the console would be in a whole other league. The bar has just been raised.

| 8.5 | Presentation The menus are slick, the design is totally revamped for Wii pointer usage, and it feels like a truly unique and console-specific package. |
|
| 8.0 | Graphics Models look decent, animation is well executed and fluid, but there are moments of PS2-ness throughout, specifically when looking at crowds, hair, net movement, and the like. |
|
| 7.5 | Sound Some well executed commentary throughout, but no player-specific comments or direct mentioning of teams or nations. Music is all original, with no licensed tracks. |
|
| 9.0 | Gameplay Pro Evo has changed the game of soccer, hopefully forever. Pointer control blends speed and fluidity with unprecedented strategy, and it’s an extremely rewarding innovation. |
|
| 9.0 | Lasting Appeal Online, Wii-mote player trading, Wii Connect 24 team data sharing, Mii mode, Chaimpions Mode, full team/player editor, leagues, and cup play. Wow. |

If you're talking about graphics, then yes, a Wii game will have much worse graphics than a 360 game. Unfortunately, there are other components of a game like controls and gameplay that factor in to how good a game is.
Also bbsin, with MotionPlus, baseball WILL (should) be best on Wii. Pitching and batting with pretty much 1:1 accuracy should be fun. But I agree, basketball and football shouldn't be affected enough to make them best on Wii.
Faxanadu, bbsin was talking about MotionPlus affecting games. PES was great, definitely revolutionarizing (is that a word?) soccer video game controls, but I don't see how MotionPlus is going to make it too much better.
Oh and I just remembered, BOXING. Wii Sports boxing was really fun for me, it was just the controls that were off. I would totally buy a MotionPlus boxing title (although it would probably use 2 remotes, I'd have to buy an extra one and MotionPlus, too).

Fair enough. Since I really can't say I know much about non-american football or really care, I'll have to go with the reviews on this one. I can see how the Wii remote could be beneficial for such an open field sport with so many players spread out.
