#Pes 2011 ps3 review series
Gameplay wise there have been various tweaks and additions, and as series veterans will know this will often cause you to scratch your head in confusion and hurl expletives at the screen. The dribbling will probably take some getting used to. There has been criticism in the past that Konami were comfortable to just release a slight variation of the same game annually, and although they have been making a concentrated effort since FIFA usurped it, problems like this persist and it 's sometimes confusing to distinguish where they are concentrating their efforts. As of writing the latest game, PES 2011 is still running on the same engine that was being used in it's Playstation 2 heyday and it shows, there are some nice graphical touches and it still retains a greater sense of detail than it's rival but it's a significant factor that the development team urgently need to address before they can move on and stage a true comeback. Trying to pinpoint exactly when the series made a misstep though is difficult to do, and it is something which most will have their own opinion about, but in broad terms it is probably the transition to the current generation of consoles where it has encountered severe growing pains. PES on the other hand was never about being flashy, despite its often amateurish presentation which has included confusing menus, fake player names and a distinct lack of licensed teams, there was always a feather in the cap in that when you stepped out onto the pitch its gameplay ruled supreme. When it gets the presentation right, PES can look great. It's become apparent that since FIFA has got out in front in the race between the two flagship titles if PES didn't fight back it wouldn't be long before the distance between them becomes too great. Ironically the FIFA series has always had strong sales but has recently backed that up with critical acclaim in it's last few iterations, there are things that it has always done better such as it's presentation, what with it's slick menu interface, it's wealth of features and maybe most importantly the official major league licenses it has always presented an attractive package, but this is hardly surprising it is a product of the EA juggernaut after all. Though I admit there has been somewhat of a fall from grace for this one time champion, the perception that it is in it's death throws is still someway off the mark. For the last few years remaining a fan of the PES (Pro Evolution Soccer) series has been akin to being marked for the plague, there seemed to be endless amounts of "diehard" fans who were leaving in their droves to be welcomed into the welcoming arms of the FIFA series and anyone who didn't was viewed as being ignorant or simply blinkered with their affection to a what once was the superior game.
