Pro Evolution Soccer (PS2)

Pro Evolution Soccer PS2 delivers a more realistic gaming experience than ever before and is considered by many to be the most advanced, entertaining and challenging football game so far made. Konami has secured the FIFPro licence, which provides for the use of actual player names and likenesses throughout the game. Jaw-dropping graphics ensure that players are even more animated with both facial characteristics and movements expressed even more realistically.

The freedom of motion each of the 200 team players has been tripled compared to that seen in ISS Pro Evolution 2, with a much wider range of actions available. The AI engine has also been improved to take advantage of the processing speed of the new hardware so each player's playing style and originality is more detailed. It's not just the players who benefit from the high-resolution graphics; options now include rain, day and night, and fireworks, confetti and smoke markers can be seen in the stadium. In addition to the modes of play included in Pro Evolution Soccer PS2--Exhibition, League, Cup, Training and Master League--the number of stadia has increased to seven, plus one training ground.

Just like in real football you'll need to utilise precision thinking, running and passing to have a chance of scoring. In order to increase sensitivity and realism, Pro Evolution Soccer PS2 is fully analogue-compatible, so the direction and strength of pass varies according to pressure on thebuttons. On top of all of this, by using a couple of multi taps you'll be able to play along with up to seven mates.
