Pes 1 - awful names, awful commentator, better gameplay than fifa!, pes 2 same, pes 3 same, pes4 a complete step up and it was the best pes game ever, then came 5 which was even better, then came the "next generation" which buggered konami for whatever reason, and then came the underwhelming pes 6, followed by the abismal pes 08, and finally where i stopped purchasing pes 09.
There are many reasons why pes was the best for so long, but at the moment the gulf between fifa and pes is monumental.
Admittadley i bought fifa 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2004 and found them games nice. but nothing i could really get involved in like pes. But now my love for football games has come back since *thank the heavens!* fifa 09 came out, it wassss fannnnntastic
After a mate got it on its release day and told me how amazing it was i was very un-acceptance of this fact i decided to do what any pes fan does and call him a fifa fan boy, and a disgrace to the football world for buying "fifa!" of all games lol.
Could it get better, could fifa 10 be the ultimate football game?? REALLY? .. it really is.
And since purchasing fifa 10 i have never looked back - who cares about pes 10, it's all about fifa 10 now, and whoever is still clinging on to lost memorys playing pes, then let go and move on to bigger and better things! It's so satisfying holding on to possession for about 5 minutes before eventually playing that killer ball, or chipping it over the despairing keeper. It plays so realisticly too, it really will be difficult to top this. And if it does? :O:O i think i may cry a tear of happyness.
I realised i made it sound like i have done nothing my entire life but play football games but it was just to show how good fifa is, and my gratitude to them for persisting and not giving up when fifa was a frowned upon game, and regularly regarded as trash.
Oh well, if you still aren't convinced about playing or buying fifa then you will never be! just do yourself a favour and play it, and find out for yourself.
10/10! !
