Like its predecessors, World Soccer Winning Eleven 8 does not feature real-world teams or players Electronic Arts holds the exclusive FIFA license , but it does offer extensive customization options, allowing gamers to set up clubs and leagues that simulate their real-life favorites, or to create more imaginative fantasy teams and tournaments.

Pro Evolution Soccer has long since been our preferred football game – thanks to a mixture of splendid ball physics, observantly replicated player behavior and lifelike scenarios and balance – but being able to tackle our mates from the comfort of our respective lounges is a thrill it’s never offered us before, even though the rival FIFA series has done it on the PC for literally years.

Presentation is slightly lazy – the game still acts as though it’s running on a PS2, asking you to “press X to confirm” and the like – but at least everything’s intact, and although your mileage is destined to vary based on the power of your PC, we managed to run the game at high enough resolution that it looked very sharp and still avoid the slowdown that plagued the PlayStation 2 version during goal-mouth scrambles and other frenzied events.

Indeed on that basis it’s a real boon. Having configured our PS2 Dual Shock pad through a trusty converter we had some trouble calibrating the analogue sticks, but that seems to have been a Windows problem; playing the game with the D-pad worked fine , it was like playing Pro Evolution Soccer 4 with the milk bottle goggles ripped from our eyes. Players don’t appear to be that obviously more detailed, but more pixels gives them more life, and gives the game a degree of fluency that even last month’s PS2 version can’t lay claim to.

In terms of player movement and general behavior, nothing comes closer to real football. It’s more like football. Part of that is certainly down to the vast array of things you can do with the ball at your feet compared to EA’s title, so it’s important to note that this year’s Training section is more involved than ever, striking at three potential groups of Pro Evolution Soccer fan and nurturing them – us – through disciplines that go far beyond “wiggle the right analogue stick to play one-touch football”.

You can practice set-pieces, one-twos, dribbling through cones, through balls, rounding the keeper, defending crosses, etc. Virtually everything you might need to put into play on the pitch is something you can specifically target in Training. With a few hours on your hands, there’s no excuse for not trying to get to grips with Pro Evolution Soccer 4’s finer points. And you’ll be grateful when you do get the hang of them, because it continues to play magnificently.

Players move the ball around crisply and aren’t afraid of hooking at it when it’s not rolling directly to their feet. They overlap and play wall passes to split defenses. Whichever foot they favor makes a difference to the outcome of any move. Strikers can unleash a wide variety of different shots, but they don’t travel along the sort of predetermined vectors that become so transparent after a while in other titles. Even the offside trap works. There are flaws of course. The referee sometimes sticks his nose in where it’s not wanted, interpreting the advantage rule badly and calling fouls for tackles that look distinctly safe, while on the pitch the ball can sometimes react a bit too realistically and cannon around out of control, and even now players are still capable of not reacting quickly enough and letting loose balls drift into opposition hands when they should be diving in furiously trying to secure it for you.

The series has been produced under the guidance of Shingo “Seabass” Takatsuka. The Japanese version is a localized version that features local leagues. While I can’t say that the graphics were jaw dropping for their quality, the motion capture is by far some of the best I’ve ever seen, not just for the cutscene intro but also in the game play as well.

A traditional commentary track is all you’ll get for good audio, I’m afraid, but at least it’s of good quality, and the dynamic calling works well. Browse games Game Portals. Winning Eleven 8 International.
