I eagerly bought this game a couple of days after it came out for a huge £44.99. I got it home expecting to be amazed by the realism and fluid gameplay the the Xbox 360 can deliver. Now I am feeling kind of let down.The game plays really well, ball physics and all that are spot on in my opinion. It really does play a good game of football. Off the ball runs are more intellegent that in previous installments, The option to take a quick free kick to catch the opponent off guard is a welcome one. Maybe there are a few too many offside calls but this is your own fault more often that not.The graphics in this new edition are not quite all I was expecting from a console with this much power.Even in HD the players still look far too much like computer graphics and not real human beings (as promised with HDTV).There are a good selection of "real" teams, obviously not as many as the FIFA games. The ability to edit team names has been removed so you are stuck with Lancashire Athletic (Wigan) and Teeside (Middlesbrough). The only Premiership teams with real club names are Arsenal and Manchester United, although the players for the other teams are all correct. There are not as many players in each squad as in previous editions, with most having around 20.All the normal Pro Evo game modes are there; Master League, domestic leagues and international cup competitions, plus the now obligatory Xbox Live mode.The Xbox Live mode is where this game really lets you down. For a start you can only play one-on-one. So you can forget about you and three mates going up against four people from the other side of the world. This is all providing you can get a game in the first place. The vast majority of online matches available you will fail to connect to, it will either say "failed to connect" or "the match room no longer exists". I can only connect to a game that is at the top of the list or if I am really quick when I see a new name on the list. It also freezes up while playing online, causing you to reset your machine and automatically lose 3-0. The game is not as responsive online, particularly when shooting. It becomes even more difficult to keep your shot under the crossbar than usual because the game doesn't always realise you've stopped holding down X. Very frustrating, especially when you have just performed an amazing passing move that left the defence for dead.Also, the vast amount of people playing as either Brazil or Barcelona gets irritating after a while, this is not a fault of the game though. LEARN TO BE SOMEONE ELSE PEOPLE!The ahievements are a bit time consuming but very managable. It will take a long time to win the Master League, all the cups and leagues and over 100 ranked online games, but then you will have all 1000 Gamerscore. Once you have done that trade it in for something a bit more enjoyable and without the frustrations of the online mode.

Hi all. Well basically I played pro evo 5 to death, and considered myself reasonablely good at it. However it was too easy on the difficult settings. After two years of hard loyal service playing it nearly every day, I was pining for something more challenging to come along. PES6 is without doubt it.For the first week, despite my experience I almost fealt I was learning the game from scratch. The pressure is apparent immediately from the k/o with the opposition really out to swat you all over the place. In my first week, I spent most of it on the ropes, getting k/o'd and losing 4 nills, 5 nills - frustrating - not for a second. At last a worthy title, that will actually push your footballing skills to new levels,

The excitement at the initial release of this game was diminished more and more the more I explored the game.Despite the Xbox 360 being one of the more powerful machines in the market, a large number of features present in the other versions have been missed out. The most noticeable element of this is the editor, which does not allow the user to change the names of teams, or create new players, or even change the way ones already there look. Considering the detail in the faces, I was looking forward to using what must have been a very powerful editor - if they ever let us use it.The Master League, remastered, is made poorer by this lack of new players - instead of youth players coming through the ranks,

I am old when it comes to video games. I remember Internation Superstar Soccer which was a weak version of of the Pro Evo series. I think it was on Playstation 1, I also remember some of the old Fifa games as well. My how technology has moved on.I have been more of a Fifa fan over recent years with the PS2, my newest version of this game is Fifa 05 which is quite old but I do enjoy. My eldest son has a XBOX 360 and I did not know which way to turn. Fifa is very much a pick up and play sort of game, great for playing your mates after the pub or if you have a spare 30 minutes. PES 6 is nothing like this, the graphics are good and smooth, although I expected more from the latest next gen consoles.

I appreciate the comments made by the other reviewers but (and you knew it was coming) this game takes time. I owned a PS1 and PS2 as well as the XBOX and none of those consoles ever grabbed me and made me addicted to playing the games. With the 360 however it does consume a lot of my time, when i get a spare moment i jump straight on!!! the games are more involved and are a lot deeper than any i have played, and a number of them i have disliked in the first 2/3 hours of play - NFS mst wanted, moto gp, oblivion, GRAW the list could go on. With Pro Evo it IS different to the others, i have played the new PS2 version and it is a continuation from the others.

I have been a fan of the PES series from the first ever version. This Xbox 360 version of the game is not as enjoyable to play compared to the PS2 counterpart, however it is currently the best football game out on the xbox 360. There are slight differences in the gameplay (its slightly faster on PS2, and 360 version has slow downs) and better animation in the 360 version.One of the most enjoyable factor in the PES series is the edit mode, this version doesnt have such an indepth edit mode as you'd like (such as moving players from one club to another).The masterleague is respectable, but once you get a good squad, playing against the computer becomes pretty easy, boring and repetitive.

As one of the many winners of a PES5 nationwide tournament earlier this year, it entitled me to a week of playing PES6 on the xbox360. Here is my summary of the 7 days I spent playing on this game so far:GOOD POINTS:-=============+ Amazing HD graphics/animations+ More international teams than ever (all teams from the FIFA world cup 2006 are in), and more licensed club teams than ever (the French league is now licensed in addition to the Dutch, Spanish and Italian leagues)+ More realistic pace to the game+ Linesmen and fourth officials can be seen whilst playing the game+ Xbox live mode is second to none on any other football game+ Pitchside reporter+ All licensed kits/players look very realistic+ Presentation is the best of any PES game,

Ive had Pro Evo for a fair few months now, and I think its better than a lot of people give it credit for. Its a much less glossy game than FIFA, graphics arent quite as good, it doesnt have all the team/player names and the menus look like a child made them. But I dont think any of that matters. There is an amazing depth to the game especially if you can get online against other real opponents. Although as people say Eto'o and Henry arent twice as fast as all other players on the pitch, its much more realistic than it used to be, now you have to pass the ball about and wait for the well timed run, which is far more satisfying to score.

Ok its that time again the new Pro evo game - So i decided to go for the next gen - my first impressions - pretty good gameNow the Pros and ConsPros - Its Pro evo and the gameplay is excellent- Graphics are good but not truly next gen and improvement on Pes 5- Online is good but no ones on at the moment as the game isnt outCons - No Edit mode - no editing team names > players faces > Kits-Paul Scholes has Blond hair !!!- Manchester United and Arsenal fully licenesed- No save a goal reaply - i loved this feature - in the manual is says press X to save so maybe they will update the game maybe an error- Only 8 stadiums - no major but they look pretty anyway- No international Challenge- Master

I have always had a football game in my collection, if not for endless enjoyment on my own but it is always a game that you can gaurantee to play with your mates. I got PES6 bundled in with my console and as a result it was the first game I played, i was immediately impressed with the graphics, and the gameplay is suprisingly easy to manage even if the players seem slightly sluggish. The detail in the pitch and the players is brilliant, this is a football game where the players actually look like their real life counterparts!The commentary is varied, however playing successive matches you do find it a bit repetative, one of the best features (which must put the HDD under some spacial pressure)

Having been a fan of Pro Evolution since the first instalment and having recently purchased an xbox 360, I was eagerly waiting to try out pes6 on this next gen console. However after reading some of the reviews here I initially decided to hold off on pes6, and stick with Fifa 07 which came bundled with the xbox 360. There is no doubt that EA have made a giant leap forward in terms of fluid gameplay with 07 but it still suffers in my opinion from repetetiveness and predictability. A post christmas sale gave me an opportunity to purchase pes6 at half the normal price and I took the plunge and am glad I did. That is not to say that a lot of the criticism levelled at pes6 is not warranted,

I love my xbox 360, but to be honest I feel as I've been lied to. Why aren't the games any different to the old xbox, if anything they seem to have less than the old games.I remember the last PES, you could create a masterleague and edit your teams name and kit. Now you have to keep the name and kit of a team that already exists.Oh and where have all the special features gone, I can't buy 1960's heroes or get rainbow ball replays. You can't even save replays.And why do the players look less realistic?On the up side I have played it a lot and I'm getting into it. I put my game level up today and almost threw the controller at the screen, cos now through balls go the wrong way and the oposition knows what I'm doing before I do it.

OK, I concede that the lack of an edit feature of any substance is a real annoyance and that is the reason I marked it down to 4 stars. However, that aside I simply cannot understand why everybody berates this game. The gameplay grahics are a significant improvement over the last gen versions although the cut scenes such as players celebrating their goals are not what you would expect from a machine as powerful as the 360. The ball and player physics are truly excellent and combined with the overall gameplay the game looks and feels very smooth and natural.Obviously there have been a number of comparisons with FIFA 07, which I confess I only had for the original Xbox.

20.1.2007

ok ok it's not as good as PES5 and if i'm honest this isn't as great as i had hoped for and indeed was expecting. But and it's a big but it is still the best up to date football game out there. If ya want all the real names, kits and stadiums buy fifa 07, but expect a shockingly poor rendition of the beautiful game, it's the worst football game i've played since sensible soccer! PES6 holds true to the values of previous PES titles of delivering stunning graphics and awesome gameplay to recreate the real thing as closly as is humanly posible. Theres no better feeling than beating a couple of defenders and placing a shot passed the goalkeeper in typical Thierry Henry fassion.

Pro Evolution Soccer 6 for the Xbox 360 is a fun, much improved game! Players are different, believeable and like in real life, each have their own style of playing football. This is noticable, especially with players like Michael Carrick of Man United, and Beckham, Ronaldinho etc. The commentary on the game is also one of the main high points, and you never get frustrated by hearing the same thing like on Fifas in the past. The celebrations change, and you can really see the contrast in the height, build and other features of the players, unlike on the PS2 and Xbox where the only differences between the players have been hair colour etc.!A great game, I got it for Xmas with my Xbox 360 and is really catchy!
