Ludus-ing! Pro Evolution Soccer 2014.

So this game review is going to be really short and sweet.

Everyone who knows football games knows how great PES was about 10 years ago. It offered a great alternative Fifa football games and the game play was simple and fun. With the Masterleague being incredibly addictive and exciting. 10 years on and we are faced with a monopoly of the football game genre. Fifa rules the roost, with a few newer football games coming up and not doing really well (Pure Football, for example). PES has always been there, and I've personally always considered if it was worth a fiver in July for a quick and fun blast.

PES popped up on the IGC of PS+ in April of 2014. I'm now going to be really concise in the things I like and dislike about this game.

I like: official use of the Champions League music and Pavarotti at the start screen.

I don't like: pretty much everything else.

The game play is dull, slow, and boring. The editing mode is terrible, with every player you create looking the same except for a few degrees of chubbiness and height.

I honestly can't believe that this is out. Football (and console) games have advanced an awful lot in 10 years but this PES feels like it is stuck in the noughties.

I didn't pay for it and I feel ripped off.

Goodbye.
SJ.
