Have you seen or played the demo of Pro Evolution Soccer 08 (PES08).

I am very undecided on if i like or not. Back in the day i was always a FIFA player but more recently ive been crossing over and playing PES. One of the reasons i decided to switch was more and more of my friends were playing PES so i went for it and switched.

The latest demo of PES08 ha been released and i have downloaded it from XBOX Live and eagerly been playing but im not sure if it is good or not. Yes the gameplay has improved but there are some annoying things in there like the passing and it has become very hard to get past your opponents. In the last version if you were on the wing you could slow up wait for the player to come near then power past them if the player you had the pace. In the PES 08 i can’t seem to be able to do that and it is frustrating.

Another thing which might just be me but if the ball floats out of the box to your player i want to be able to give it some and volley it back in the goal but you can’t, more often than not it keeps wanting to chest the ball down but i just want to hit it!

 The graphic have most definetly improved whih is good and the speed of the game is far better. PES has alwys been kno to be slower in the gameplaay but i am very glad it has speeded it up a little.

 I have decided to give it a rating of 3.5 out of 5 what do you think?
