Product Description
-------------------
Pro Evolution Soccer made every feint, pass and through-ball of
the real thing possible, and its sequel ups the ante even
further. Every aspect of the game has been refined or reworked,
with Pro Evolution Soccer 2 now benefiting from three distinct
dribbling styles, while shooting, turning, close control and
passing have also been tuned to make them more individual and
realistic. To ensure its digital versions of the world's top
stars react and play as they should, Pro Evolution Soccer 2's
players have all been designed with over 25 skill factors taken
into account. Each is rated in areas such as attacking nature,
balance, stamina, strength and and pass accuracy, each of
which endow the players with differing abilities and playing
styles. Similarly, the game's "Player Create" option allows fans
to recreate their favourite players for use in the game,
determining their appearance and performance using the
aforementioned attributes, while also highlighting a further 19
specific key skills and abilities. Newly created players can then
be implemented in the sequel's Master League season.
Arguably the most popular aspect of the original game, Pro
Evolution Soccer 2's "Master League" competition enjoys many new
features. A third division has been added to the two of the
original game, while Konami has also implemented a contract
system wherein game players now negotiate with their virtual
players if they want to add to their squad. Cup games now take
place during the Master League season and squad rotation has
become key to a successful season as players protect the fitness
of their squad. Other new additions include an extensive training
mode, while the game's huge array of options allow users to
tailor every aspect of the game to their taste-even down to
designing their own club badges and kits.
.co.uk Review
-------------
Pro Evolution Soccer ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005NT6I/${0} ) was
the best footy game ever, and what you want to know is: does this
sequel better it? Thankfully, it does. The first thing that
strikes you about Pro Evolution Soccer 2--an anglicised version
of the Japanese Winning Eleven 6--is how much faster it is, not
just in terms of the pace of your players but also their ability
to turn more sharply when receiving the ball. In another clear
attempt to up the tempo of the game, which some more
arcade-orientated gamers complained was too slow and fiddly,
players now recover much more quickly when they lose the ball--so
there's no waiting around for them to have a slice of orange
before they deign to take part in the match again. And they need
to be a bit sharper on their pins because it's now much more
difficult to tackle and conversely you have a lot more control
when dribbling the ball. There are other minor changes, such as a
slightly odd new horizontal camera option, but basically this is
bigger, better and more. Just in case you've forgotten, that's
bigger, better and more of the best football game ever, so if you
like your footy you really will want to be purchasing this.

Review

"Better than the original, better than all its rivals... if
you're into football games it's time to shell out. 9/10." --
Official PlayStation 2 Magazine
"Every time a new version arrives it's subtly, yet fundamentally,
better. Pro Evo 2 is no exception. 9/10." -- Edge
