Product Description

Created specifically to make full use of the Wii?s unique control system, PES 2008 brings all the realism of Pro Evolution Soccer to the Nintendo machine, but with a more ?team-orientated? control system. The Wii game mirrors the real sport?s use of open space and the exploitation of defensive lapses and accurate passes essential in creating scoring opportunities. The Wii version of PES 2008 expands on these elements, with the use of the Nunchuck and Wii Remote controllers giving the player control over both the player on the ball, and those around him. Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 Features: Using a point and drag system, the player uses the Wii Remote to guide the player with the ball, and perform all the skill moves and close control with subtle movements of their hand. Instantly, the Wii Remote is used to point at nearby players to select them to receive a pass or to latch on to a through-ball. The Remote can also be used to steer the run of the receiving player, giving extra control as they thread through masses of defenders or run into open space. The new system gives the player full control over their team, and allows the man marking of specific threats, while shakes of the Wii Nunchuk can be used to perform sliding tackles, and send the goal keeper out to clear a loose ball. The strategic elements are also easily accessed, with the directional controls of the Wii Remote used to activate tactical plays and spring counter attacks or send players tracking back. PES 2008 for Wii features six game modes, spanning Match, League and Cup elements, and Training and Trade section. The new version also features an exclusive ?Champions Road? competition, wherein players take their chosen team to compete in league competitions all over the world. The idea of the Champions Road tournament is to come top in every league, and build a team by receiving players from recently defeated sides. Experience points are added to all used players after a match, and

Phooey
Utter garbage. Save your money and buy FIFA 08 for the PS3, or PSP. This is unplayable nonsense.

Pro Evo on the Wii- GET IT!!!!!!!!!!
When I first saw the advert for this game I was over whelmed with the thought that it would be miles too hard and complicated and talking to my friends they think it would be too but when I first got it it wasn't as complicated as I first thought it would be and I picked it up really easily. I am not a person who spends hours and hours on end on my Wii but I spend enough time to know that this is a good game. It is much better than other football games because you can send team mates on runs (more than one at a time) and generally tell your team where to move to. The graphics aren't amazing but it does not restrict the quality of the game and it hasn't bothered me. I have not come across any floors in the game yet. I am also so surprised at the price... I thought it would be an extra tenner on top off what it is. If you are wondering about this game, just go for it, it is brilliant and well worth it. You will have great fun on it!!!!!

Very Addictive
Really, really good fun game. Both me (37) and my son (6) are totally addicted. YOu can play with your Mii's or real players. The Champions Road and League are both veru involving.

The Wii controls gave a great feel of 'control' over passing and gamep[lay. Very easy to pick it up and play.

Very recommneded.
