Playstation 2:
Pro Evolution Soccer 3 (97%)

Imagine if you were the only person alive (with Pamela Anderson) and you had everything. Well that would never happen so the next best thing is to have this game, Pro Evolution Soccer 3.
 
This game is the most played game in our offices, multiplayer and single player and this is why. Firstly the gameplay is faster and slicker. A pass in a nice sunny pitch will go direct to your opponent however when its raining heavy and the pitch is slow, don't even try a 40 yard pass across the ground, it will never reach. The realism of this game is out of the world.
 
The Master League is the core of this game being this good. For the first couple of weeks you won't win a match unless you were really good in Pro Evlotion Soccer 2 with the players you got from the start cause thats who you get again. Once the negtiations period has started, start signing up a few players from your league. We suggest you sign Saha from Fulham and Cisse from Auxerre. You probably saying, theres no way we can sign those sort of players with our points going into negative and then its game over. Don't be stupid. This time round, you get until the end of the season to make sure your final points are positive otherwise its game over.
 
Enough about transfers, lets talk about how the Master League actually works. You starts of in Division 2 with other lower league teams. You then try to work your way at least to the top two. If you do then you will be involved in a play-off at the end of the season with the two bottom teams of the first division and who ever wins, gets promoted or relagated. The cup games are also very important, not only will you win the cup, duh but you will earn quite a few points and sign new and better players.
 
The graphics are not as good as Fifa but they are still great. The players alikeness is fantastic but Fifa gets the graphics vote. You will still be able to reconise the person you passing it to so fot us, the graphics are still good.
 
The games menu screen and sounds are a bit dodgey but the game is let down by the worst commentry we have heard in a football game. The first time you hear it you will think its ok and they make valid points but after 30 minutes you will see how low in depth the commentatry is. This lets the game down but we don't care, we still love playing it.
 
If you don't mind 70% of wrong players name or don't mind editing it all out then you will love it. We personally think you should buy the Ultimate Cheat disc and get all the real players name for a tenner, its worth ever penny unless you want to spend hours changing everything.
 
This game is everything what a football game should be and then some, we would play this football game then any other, hands down. A must buy for footy fans and even none footy fans.
