great game but having no license's brings it down a notch.

PES 09, a great game but there are things about it that just bring it down a notch. the gameplay is great, the graphics are great but the fact that the license's arnt on it can get annoying. but by buying an update or downloading it from somewhere makes a massive difference. because you are playing against teams with proper logos.

now ive never been big on fifa and i only had PES 08 on ps2. but i would say that PES is the better game. simply because the gameplay is more realistic and you can skill people on alot more easier. i have played PES 08 on PS3 but i didnt have it and i thought it that they made it alot better.

if you are considering buying PES or FIFA then i would say to rent them 1st so you can play both and see what you like more. i personally like PES more because i have been loyal to it and its always been better on gameplay but i know that PES 08 was a real downfall, but dont let that put you off. there are a few things that are still the same though like the commntary. i cant stand it because they talk about something and it makes no sense but i can live with that. but the UEFA champions league is quite good, but its basically the konami cup. but it looks so much more better with the actual logo for it and theme. the master league has imporved with player loyaltiy and with scouts telling you if you can aqcuire a rival player. the team popularity is still there and player poplarity. and last but not least, become a legend. its a great edition to PES but its only been copied off FIFA. i dont know if its true but my mate told me that you can only do 4 seasons on be a pro, but on become a legend you can go till your 46 and you start at a small ametuer club not like on FIFA where you could start at chelsea. it can be hard at times but when you get into it its quite easy.

the level for PES can be adjusted so i cant qote on the difficulty, but i find it easy at times.

this is my 1st review so i hope you thought it was good, a message to me would be nice to let me know on your thoughts about my review so i can make it better for future games
