tiens, encore du croustillant :
What´s most disappointing about PES 2008 on PS3 is that if it wasn´t crippled by its technical problems, it would one of the best Pro Evolution Soccer games ever made. It would certainly be an improvement on last year´s next-gen effort. PES fans can forgive the poor graphics, the God-awful music, the embarrassing presentation and lack of licensed teams, because the core of the game is so mind-bogglingly brilliant. PES fans have been doing this for so many years, that they even forgive the odd bit of slowdown, too. But, I´m afraid to say, PES 2008 on PS3 is unforgivable.
PES 2008 on PS3 is for a next-gen Console but it is not a next-gen game. You cannot ignore the fact that, for whatever reason, this is a poor effort from Konami. PES executive producer Shingo ´Seabass´ Takatsuka himself has said that he was "shocked" at the PS3 slowdown and that he doesn´t have a clue why it´s happening. Unfortunately this won´t cut it for gamers who have forked out hundreds of pounds for a PS3, a platform that is supposed to be the most powerful console in the world. Slowdown and poor frame rates are so last gen. It´s amazing to think that some scientists have replaced supercomputers with PS3s, and an experienced game developer can´t get a football game to run without having a heart attack. It is with a heavy heart, a heart that has been in love with Konami´s brilliant football series for longer than I can remember, that I cannot recommend PES 2008 on the PS3 over FIFA 08 on the same console.
