Video Games

In a nutshell:
The world’s most popular football sim returns with numerous tweaks and additions to make it even more realistic in both gameplay and graphics. If England don’t win the World Cup you can always take solace in the latest Pro Evo.

The lowdown:
This latest sequel sees one of the biggest overhauls in the game’s history with the new improvements to the already impressive animation directly affecting the way you play. Dribbling with the ball is now easier but the quality of your passing and shooting now depends on the position of a player’s body in terms of both accuracy and power. Make a shot straight after a sharp turn, for example, and your chances of hitting the target are slim. Opponent and team artificial intelligence has also been greatly increased, to the point where every man on the pitch is thinking independently. Apart from the animation, the graphics in general have also been upgraded with much better player likenesses.

Most exciting moment:
Thanks to the new changes Pro Evo 6 plays a much more attacking game than previously, with counter attacks after a fluffed shot on goal made much easier than previously.

Since you ask:
Although the game doesn’t have the official FIFA World Cup license it does simulate an unofficial international tournament, including both qualifying rounds and the finals.

The bottom line:
The best just keeps getting better with the most beautiful virtual game ever.

Customer Review: Addictive, but bad for you
OK the first thing is, as a lot of people have already pointed out, that there’s is loads missing from other versions of this game, if you’ve got a PS2, buy that version and add another star. Second thing, as each passing year the difference between the outgoing pro and new one becomes more difficult to spot. Pro 6’s graphics are slightly sharper, but the game seems to run at a slower pace. Third thing, the game AI. Pro ecourages you as a player to keep it a short passing game as much as possible, I’m sure this is the reason it is so difficult to make long passes and overhead through balls, so you adjust your tactics accordingly. But occasionally a dog kickingly frustrating bit of rubbish AI pop up out of nowhere. Defenders run away from attackers when you take control of them. The game constantly switches team members when you’re trying to defend. Attackers inexpicaply slow down when trying to get to long balls. These don’t happen too often, but when they do … Finally online, it’s not bad, creating a custom match can take forever when trying to find someone to play, but the patches that have been release over the last year seem to have sorted that one out. Should you buy it ? If you’ve got pro 5 on ps2, no keep your money. If you’ve got a 360, it’s better than FIFA (If I want proper names and kits I’ll buy a sticker album), so I’d say possibly, wait and see what the reviews on pro 2008 are like.
Customer Review: Good but doesn’t live to expectations
pro evo 6 is overall pretty good for the xbox 360 however there are many places in the game where it is basically a stripped down version of the PS2 version just with better graphics. For example the edit mode is taken out nearly all together and some Master League features are taken out. However in the 360 version the physics, player movement, AI and graphics are much better and in HD.

Customer Review: THIS THING ACTUALLY WORKS FINE!
U plug it in and it works that’s all u need to know. usb and is quite good for your money. good buy!
Customer Review: The best accessory for any 360 owner
This is absolute essential if you bought a premium pack or a wireless controller. Your 360 control pad will last 30 hours on fresh AA batteries but, what you don’t want, is to be in the middle of a battle on your favourite game only for a “Please reconnect controller” message to pop up. This simple cable completely removes the need to buy batteries ever again. Your on screen battery indicator (Guide blade) will tell you when your pad is running low then you simply plug one end of the cable into an available USB port on your console and the other in the top of the controller to recharge your battery whilst playing! Simply brilliant!
