User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Difficult to play.
We have steering wheels and this game is so sensitive that it is difficult to control.

4 Stars Great Fun
Great family fun. Challenging for a novice , but still a lot of fun. Pleasantly suprised by the wii graphics. I was not expecting the graphics to be much of anything from the reviews that I had read. I admit I have not been ruined by the HD graphics offered by the Playstation 3 or Xbox 360. It made me miss being out on my quad.

3 Stars Awsome game but after we played it it didnt work again
I bought this game for my boy for Christmas and we played it for a total of 45 min.AND the next time we put it in it wouldnt read the disk.IT was not dirty or have any scratches on it it just won’t read the disk anymore.When it work it was a very fun and easy to control game.

4 Stars The music is really annoying
Game is pretty good but the background music really gets to you. And, I can’t seem to be able to turn it off. Similar Sony game has a little better graphics.

5 Stars GOOD GAME
My 9 year old loves this game! He received it for his birthday and plays it all the time. It was easy to control and play.

Pro Evolution Soccer 09




Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 for PlayStation 3 by Konami is the latest update to the award-winning soccer series, with new additions, smarter AI, and better graphics for a more realistic game than ever before. With exclusive rights to the UEFA Champions League, this game will let you play as and against your favorite UEFA players and teams.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 has an exclusive UEFA Champions League license. View larger.

Become a Legend mode lets you create a player from scratch. View larger.

Play on your favorite UEFA club fields. View larger.

Friction, air resistance, backspin, and more make for realistic ball movement. View larger.

Exclusive UEFA Champions League License
New to the Pro Evolution Soccer series is an exclusive UEFA Champions League license. The UEFA Champions League is Europe’s greatest club competition, and the license means the game will have all the elements and attributes of the Champion League Competition. The Ligue 1 Orange and Eredivisie are both fully licensed, and the England League (Premier League), Italian League (Serie A) and Spanish League (La Liga) are partially licensed. Manchester United and Liverpool are the licensed English clubs in Pro Evolution Soccer 2009.

The UEFA Champions League mode is given a new television-style presentation, where you get dramatic camera angles on replays, videos, and banner ads. Along with the official team names, upgraded graphics, and more life-like player movements, others watching you play might mistake the video game for an actual game on TV.

Become a Legend with New gameplay Mode
The new Become a Legend mode lets you create a player from scratch and focus on the individual player rather than a team. The game lets you customize the player down to the smallest detail, including his free kick run-up and celebration routine. If you use a supported camera, you can even put your face on the player and create team emblems. After you’ve created your character, the more your play, the more he improves.

After you have a legend you’re satisfied with, you can export him to an online legends game with four other players, where you team up and play against computer teams.

Realistic Ball Movement
Balls now move around more realistically thanks to adjustments for friction, air resistance, backspin, and more. This allows for new strategies and techniques such as lifting balls over defenders legs and doing tee shots. Improvements have also been made in passing and the reactions of your teammates. The upshot is a game that looks and plays more like real life.

Play With and Against Friends Online
In addition to the Legend online mode, you can also challenge your friend to a 1-on-1 match. If your friends aren’t online, there is also a quickmatch option that pairs you to a random online player.

With its exclusive UEFA Champions League license and updated ball movement and graphics, Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 will have soccer fans cheering.

5 Stars EXELLENT !!!
Best Soccer GAME EVER !!!!

PES09 MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER THAN FIFA3000

3 Stars Not a soccer fan? Don’t even bother with this game
Well, I’m not really a big soccer fan, but I bought this game because it looked like everyone was playing this game. It was sort of like peer pressure. What a joke.

Anyhow, the graphic was good, game speed is more accurate than laggy FIFA. I like the soccer field setting that shows lots of detail. Also liked the fan’s cheer. Every cheer is different depending on what team you’re playing.

Didn’t play much, because it’s just not fun playing it all by myself. When you have your hommies come over with beers, that’s when this game shines.

4 Stars PRO EVOLUTION IS THE BEST ON FOOTBALL
IS THE BEST ON THIS SPORT, THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THE CONNECTION TO PLAY ONLINE, TOO BAD

3 Stars Needs (A lot) of improvement
I’m a hardcore soccer fan and PES was always the RIGHT choice when it came to soccer Games. PES 2007 was the last PES I really enjoyed. I bought 08 thinking it would be a lot better but it never really lived up to that expectation. This year, I expected Konami to really bring its “A” game and deliver the best PES yet. Unfortunately, this is not the case. This game is no better (and probably worse) than 2008. I traded this game 2 weeks after I bought it and have been enjoying FIFA 09 for like 8 months now (still not bored!!!) EA sports has it right this year (and last) I hope PES 2010 brings it next year!

5 Stars Good game
I like this game a lot. People who love soccer will like it too.

God of War 3 represents the newest version of the God of War series and certainly one of the favorite releases for PlayStation 3. Appealing from several points of view, God of War 3 follows a series of interesting games, from the Chains of Olympus and Betrayal to finally God of War 2. Even though there are similar features where the game is concerned, there are many surprises for enthusiastic players out there, especially when it comes to the chosen weapons.

Speaking about new weapons present in God of War 3, there are two very interesting options that players will be able to enjoy: the Blades of Athena and the Cestus. Impressive with their strength and lion-head shaped appearance, these two weapons will definitely guarantee success while playing God of War 3. Suddenly, smashing rocks will seem like a breeze and you will be able to pass over the most difficult obstacles without any effort whatsoever. There are certain elements from God of War 2 that appear in the third version as well, such as the Golden Fleece and Icarus wings. Players will be allowed to make use of new combos and it seems that the number of onscreen enemies has increased, as opposed to other versions of the game.

Probably one of the best ways to form a general opinion about God of War 3 is to watch the trailer released for all dedicated players out there. You will be able to watch Kratos, one of the main characters of the game, engaging in a serious fight with soldiers. The interesting part comes when Kratos actually uses a Cyclops to kill all those soldiers, and then kills the creature after the mission is successfully completed. What is new in God of War 3, apart from the weapons and the combos mentioned in the paragraph above? Kratos is easily controlled by the player and the game is definitely improved.

There are many elements present in the trailer that further indicate how the game is going to develop. It seems that Kratos will eventually engage in a battle with Hermes, demonstrating superior battle skills and abilities. As a result, Kratos will finally enter in possession of the winged, bronze boots, gaining new acrobatic abilities. Kratos has a mission, he is focused on getting revenge on the Gods, each and everyone having betrayed him in a certain way. This mission is developed throughout the entire game, from the very first scene to the final chapters when Kratos battles with mythological creatures on Mt. Olympus.

As most players are interested in the battles that occur in God of War, the third version of the game has concentrated a lot on the battlegrounds. A team of specialists have introduced the latest technology, making sure that the players actually feel as if they were on the battleground. The resolution is improved, the characters are more lifelike and there are backgrounds that will blow your mind!

2008 wasn't kind to Sony's PlayStation 3. While Blu-Ray won the high-definition DvD format war, it didn't bring in a flood of PlayStation 3 sales, and Sony's high end console lagged behind the Nintendo Wii and Microsoft's Xbox 360.But there's reason for optimism in 2009.
Codemasters will release Colin McRae DiRT 2 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, PC, Nintendo DS, and Sony PSP, simultaneously when the game is released, hopefully by the end of 2009. DiRT 2 feature real-world environments and officially licensed rally cars and off-road vehicles. The fan favourite Subaru Impreza STi WRX N14 will be the first car gamers drive in the sequel. Codemasters state that DiRT2 will have online racing functionality and social features, though the company hasn't specifi
