Publisher's description of Pro Evolution Soccer 5 demo
Pro Evolution Soccer 5 (known as Winning Eleven 9 in North America) expands on the realism and total control that has become the bedrock of the popular series and has earned it a legion of fans. Also returning in improved form will be the Master League, wherein players can build and develop a team of no-hopers into an unbeatable team with a trophy room full of cups and accolades.
This demo allows you to try an exhibition match with Arsenal, Chelsea, Valencia, or Real Madrid.
Editor's review of Pro Evolution Soccer 5 demo
4.0 stars
- "Precise passing on the pitch"
This year's edition of Pro Evolution Soccer looks much better and features some interesting new gameplay, but the PC version suffers from the console-heavy perspective that hampered previous versions.
As with most sports sims, a peripheral controller works better than the keyboard. Since the game engine is the same as PES4, veteran players will have no trouble jumping in. Although the reference material is console-based, referring to all the controls by their PlayStation symbols, newbies should still find it easy to learn how to play.
This main rival to EA Sports' license-rich FIFA Soccer allows for a five-minute exhibition match with top clubs Arsenal, Chelsea, Valencia, or Real Madrid in a choice of two stadiums. Graphics are demonstrably better than last year, especially on close-up animations, and the action on the pitch has slowed down realistically. Passing and dribbling require more skill and practice, and a new instep shot is a welcome addition for sharpshooters. The gameplay changes should add polish to this classic sports game, but we won't know for sure until we fire up the multiplayer in the full version; the demo only allows single-player matches.

Version: Pro Evolution Soccer 5 demo
Pros: Great Graphics and players look far better than before. The gameplay is fluid and has a good first touch system. Heading and crossing has been greatly improved from pro evo 4 and computer players are a lot more challenging than before to create more of a challenge to the more experienced gamers.
Cons: Only the tackles, almost every time you try to tackle you make a foul. Free kick system could have been better,.

Version: Pro Evolution Soccer 5 demo
Pros: This is the best soccer game by far. The gameplay is years ahead of FIFA06. I really recommend it.
Cons: It'd be nice to have more licenses. That's about the only thing that FIFA got better. The rest is just near perfection.
