This is a Great game for young and old people. I am only 11, but i enjoy soccer A LOT!!! Soccer is my favorite sport and this is easily one of the best soccer games i've played. I just think they need teams like Manchester United. Overall i give a A- for a grade.

Really, really nice

I have to agree with everyone here. The new PES for the Wii is really great. The controls take a few minutes to get used to but the point and click interface is so fluid and makes control of the ball so much better than soccer games before it. Ball physics, as always, are still outstanding in PES.

Defense is the only downside but after you get the feel for how this works, it is tolerable especially in the face of such an incredibly new way of playing offense.

Online play was oddly glitchy and jumpy but it could have just been my Internet connection. I'm still exploring how these settings can be tweaked in the game to optimize online performance.

This game is definitely worth buying for anyone wanting to experience a truly great new way to play soccer on the Wii. Very, VERY nice!

New way of playing Soccer

All my friends are video game Soccer lovers, but I'm the only one with the Wii console, they got PSP II an X box 360 consoles.

It was difficult at the beginning, an all of them we're complaining about the game, but after a few hours all of us could get the big dimension of it.

As always Wii is more focused in the way you play over the graphics and the game can also improve in the direction of shooting, but besides that is a entertainment game with a new way of playing.

Superb game. Far exceeding the expectations.

One of the best game software my kids have seen. Usually they get bored with any game software within 10 days of playing. But, I see the same enthusiasm even after weeks of play.

I am thinking this might even help with their real field game - while passing the ball, Strategizing etc.

Good game.

PES 2008 for the Wii is definitely one of the best soccer games you'll find around. The controls and game play are both solid, and while the graphics aren't anything to brag about they're still good enough to not detract from the game. You move people around by telling them where to go with the Wii-mote's A and B buttons, which allows you to move anyone on the field, as opposed to just one person like in standard soccer games. This allows for much more planning ahead, which leads to things such as offside traps and the likes. There are different modes to play in, like Champions Road and International Mode (which has different modes in itself), which leads to a lot of game play. The game can get boring if you play it too much; I've done so myself and actually haven't played in a while. Another thing I don't really like is how you can't control your shots; the power and everything is determined by how good the player actually is at shooting, so all you have to do is shake your nunchuck. Regardless, this is a good game that I recommend buying if you're out there looking for a soccer game to buy for the Wii.

US Teams Left Out

Being an American, it irked me that the US National Team has fake names, and that there was no Major League Soccer.

Great control scheme. No other game makes it easier to play through-balls, switch the point of attack, play balls into space, perform give-and-go, run crossing patterns, etc. I've never had an easier time getting players to perform the desired off-the-ball movement. On defense, you can mark players, including double teams.

Things that annoyed on defense:

* Defending highly rated attacking players needs to be micromanaged, even if you assign double teams. Otherwise, once the attacking player gains possession of the ball, he will dribble circles around your computer controlled defenders.

* The computer does a lousy job of defending attacking players making runs off the ball. Always seems to be a few steps behind, with poor positioning.

* Computer controlled defenders will sometimes do nothing when balls are played into space, at least until an attacking player gains possession.

Best soccer game yet

I recently got this, having high expectations and I was pleased with the result. Here are some facts on this.
+ great graphics
+ Fun gameplay
+ Easy to get used to
+ online play makes it long lasting
+ lots of modes to play
+ not too addicting
+ easy controls
- get bored after the 1st hour
That is all the negative points. Anyway, for soccer fans, this game is a must and this would be a better choice than the fifa series in my opinion. The motion controls are great and makes the wii experience on this the best. I would really recommend this for someone who is looking for a wii game that is not just sitting and moving fingers. I don't know why it's not on the first bestselling list though.

game controls are too difficult to get used to

I bought the game for my husband because he plays the PC version. I got it for Wii so we could play more easily with 2 people. When we started playing the Wii version, the controls are too tricky and it has a delayed reaction. We don't really play the game now because the controls are too hard to get used to.

Finally, a real soccer game...

The wait for a genuine soccer game is over, Pro Evo 2008 exceeds all expectations thanks to an imaginative control scheme that plays like a cross between a traditional sports title and a real time strategy game. The point/drag/click interface works beautifully on offense, allowing you to patiently build up attacks while controlling every player on screen. The defensive controls pale in comparison, but still offer more than enough options to repel most attacks as long as you don't succumb to the 'chase the ballhandler and attempt to slide tackle at every opportunity' syndrome. Online play is close to flawless, if a bit vanilla. Hopefully they'll beef up the online component in the next release. Overall, a great game and well worth the forty bucks.

so much game, need more time to play

What a great game -- I just got it yesterday and spent way too much time last night trying to get all the nuances down. I don't really care about graphics, I care about fun -- and this game is FUN!
Besides being fun, it is the most tactically correct soccer game I have ever encountered. Figuring out where to place players for runs into the box, perfecting give and go passes, etc. -- it is all there! If you are a soccer (football) fan, go buy this game!!!
