PES4 is still lagging behind with many of the big names but at least Konami have made some sort of effort with the addition of fully licensed Dutch, Spanish and Italian leagues. Still on the subject of FIFA it certainly has the upper hand over Konami’s series in the way of licences.
It’s also nice to see two contrasting styles sitting on the shelves. That said we are glad to see that each series have now carved out their own unique identities in what is a very competitive market. Preference will obviously be down to the individual but we prefer the more sedate pace of the latest FIFA opposed to the super fast play of PES4. Game play still requires precise thought as you go in search of those all-important cracks in the oppositions defence, although we do feel that the famous through ball is successful on far too many occasions, leaving any opposition in the dust and only to watch in horror as an attacker meets their goalkeeper in what is to become a battle of wits, with the attacker normally slotting the ball home.Īfter viewing the more restrained pace of FIFA 2005 we also think that the game runs at a speed that leaves less room for surgical thinking during matches. Matches are still as silky as ever as passes are constructed together and the entire game flows beautifully fast. Does the fourth game in the series make that special heavenly place seem all the less elusive? PES4 certainly plays a mean game of football without a doubt and is a definite step up over the third game in many ways thanks to an improved master league (where players can now retire through injury) and worthy refinements to the game itself. It’s amazing that Konami’s classic series gets better with every single release, although still in search of that perfection status. That aside the game is basically a standard port of the earlier released PS2 version, which isn’t a bad thing of course. PS2 owners have long been denied online play therefore the addition of Xbox Live Play might leave the old Sony faithful rather cold. Pro Evolution Soccer 4 marks a new beginning for the stellar footy series, arriving on not only the PS2 this time around but also on Microsoft’s behemoth.
