It's the 1st time it is now possible to take control of the entire team while controlling the 1. The defending side can be a bit challenging and will take time to get used to, but it great for passing exactly where you want and also to move players whereva you like on the pitch. It used to annoy me on the 360 when you make through balls past the defence and the player runs passed the ball or does'nt run the right way. This is the opposite. A must buy for all you football gamers who would like another dimension to there footy gameplay.

I have to admit I'm a football fan that doesn't know too much about the tactics of the game. This game probably wasn't designed for me haha. You basically have to control the whole team. Using the remote you need to tell players where to run. what space to defend who to man mark etc. When I first started out I couldn't work out why there were gapping holes in my defence - I hadn't cancelled previous commands and all my defenders were out man marking people in midfield.
However It's very enjoyable. The Online internet play is very good fun as well although I usually loose!
To all those people that said that this game has no skill I don't think this could be further from the truth. yes the shooting might be simplified but you need to set up the plays in the first place.
A very good game that really makes you think more about football as a team game rather than just the player you're controlling. Now someone please set up a web site where i can get lessons !!!!

a fabulous game that lets you take full controle over the whole team.You can do 1-2's and through balls and have hours of fun. I dont know what bertosmaximous is on about, he is so wrong. this is a must have game with loads of modes. GET IT!!

Part of the changes did seem to have a more open view of how to play the game rather than the orthodox methods you get on PC and other consoles, however I found the controls not only a little confusing and frustrating at times..

But especially on two player I found the cursors clicking on your player intrusive and cluttered, I couldnt see which way my player was facing if player 2 had a pixel over me clicking to tackle..

The idea is there but for me this is a little one step forward two steps back

I waited for this game to come out on the Wii months after it came out on the PS3, and was it worth the wait?....YES!!! most definitely! i bought it as soon as it came out and i am still playing it now, months on and its just as much fun! I love the controls they have set up on it using the numchuck and the main controller! It takes you through tutorials as you go through the game so you get better and better at using the controls! My fav bit of the game is the 'champios road' mode, which i dont think is on the ps3? im not 100% on that. But it is a great part. As you play other teams you have the opertunity to win players from their teams, your players get better as you play through the matches! when u think u r about to complete this stage of the game it opens more matches up for you, its awesome! you can play it for hours and hours! i have! A must have game if you own a wii, football fan or not, u will love it!!

Being an avid PES fan, having bought and played all versions available on the PS then PS2, and I can honestly say I've looked forward to each and every new release. For the Wii I had massive expectations, given I've got the game on the PS2 and its awesome, and to be perfectly honest the guys at Konami have taken the awesome, the great the brilliant game playing PES 2008 and totally ruined it. The game play is crude, they seem to have decided well the remote can be used, as can the nunchuck yet totally confused things its a joke. Don't buy its rubbish, get a 2nd hand PS2 and buy it on that, or if you've only got a Wii get Fifa, I'm ashamed to say that for once Fifa is a better football game.

Sorry people, honesty is the best policy and this game just don't cut it, it isn't fun, it isn't intuitive but it is a massive dissappointment and a massive waste of money.

The first Pro Evo to be available for a nintendo console and it didn't let us down. You point at a player and drag him to make him run. You can do excellent through balls and one twos and after a bit of getting used to it is the most funfilled football game ever made

Much more fun than FIFA, here you really feel as if you are creating the goals rather than hoofing the ball upfield and hoping a striker latches onto it.

Easy to get into, despite having a control system unlike any other football game - but with plenty of options if you feel the need to get very fancy. At first the tackling may seem rather basic - but if you go through all the training sesisons you soon learn that it is quite sophisticated. Shooting by swinging the nunchuck is much more satisfying than jabbing at buttons, only a complete idiot would prefer the old method.

The only problems with the game are the made up teams, and the fact that selecting a player causes his name and stats to appear above his head - which can obscure the action if you're playing at the top of the pitch.

now i dont play this game simply as i dont like football games but my partner plays it and he loves it ive watched him play it and the skill with the wiimote n nunchuck is brilliant i dont play it as i just carnt get the hang of it but if you loved all the other PES or football this is a must try for them an all after one go you will love it

The last guy who wrote a review saying it was fantastic and that he doesnt play footy games but likes this one because he can play it sums everything up,THIS GAME IS NOT WHY WE LOVE PRO,the reason most of us are big fans of the pro series is because its a skillful game and takes skill and practice 2score goals etc in this edition u SWING ur nunchuck 2shoot at goal and that says it all,where is the skill involved in that?the defending feels like your never properly in control either but for me the way of shooting just kills everything pro evolution fans love about the series its sad when you think your nan could even score on this game,im sure this game is good on other consoles as the controls will be like normal pro games but as for on the wii if ur a fan of footy games and a real pro fan DONT BUY
