Customer Review: DON’T BUY IT
Argumentative, Impossible to upgrade and nothing but hassle. i) Randomly quits during conversions. ii) Due to copyright protection laws, this software CAN’T import copy protected DVD’s, and since all commercial DVD’s are copy protected, it’s pointless. iii) The website is IMPOSSIBLE to log onto, once you’ve registered the product, that’s it, you’ll never be able to log on again., and since you have to log onto the website to download updates, you’ll be stuck with the version in the box! iv) Support is USELESS all they say is “refer to the manual”! v) WILL NOT work with Windows based formats such as WMV! To cut a long story short, it’s USELESS!

Customer Review: Pretty darn good
It’s got to be said that since F197 games developers have had a shocker in putting such a popular sport into a good, playable and realistic game. Look no further than this offering. Granted, it’s last years driver set (i.e. no Hamilton), however in all categories I really rate this game. The graphics are very fair for the PSP standard (think equal to Pro Evo for example), and its only occasionally that there’s a bit of lag… usually when you crasah into the back of a car by not braking adequately! Gameplay is relayed by a very responsive and realistic car handling set up - drivers aids for beginners and an extensive manual car tuning option for the specialists. Race days are peppered by on-track incidents, and qualifying sessions always hold a risk of rain! In summary, a very playable and detailed game. N.B. the career mode is purely driving i.e there is no ‘Chief Engineer mode’ that is advertised
Customer Review: very good handheld f1 game
This is a good handheld game of F1! This has some pretty decent graphics in the game and the handling of the car is quite good. The only downfall I have is no WiFi and laoding times suck!

Customer Review: Sceptical at first, but turned out to be one of the best films I’ve ever seen!
Having not seen this film at the cinema, prior to DVD release I was sceptical about purchasing Casino Royale. I had heard some postive reviews but also some negative ones as well, saying that Daneil Craig just doesn’t fit the bill. I totally disagree, I think Craig has played Bond in this film beautifully. Ok - so in this film theres no gadgets as in previous films -but remember this film is set as Bond has just recieved his 00 status! Don’t expect too many flashy gagdets. Overall, a great film thats funny, packed with action. UMD Plays perfectly - no quibbles there.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (PS3)?? With the Pro Evolution Soccer series renowned for its fluid, realistic gameplay, the new game builds on the implementation of Teamvision with additional key advances. As with previous releases since its inception in 1996, the ball is again treated as a separate entity, with the timing of shots entirely down to the player, while the new AI ensures that defenders work to close down space and block efforts on goal. Similarly, distribution of passes works along the same lines, with players using the space available to them to switch the ball. Close control has also been enhanced with more control when dribbling the ball, and a number of subtle moves added to bypass defenders and move the ball into space.
Customer Review: Completey fixed!!!
Although the game did suffer from lag slightly offline and massively online, the new patch which can be downloaded when starting the game has completely fixed it!! paving the way now for one of the best pro ev games if not the best, the passing is so slick and beating a defender is alot easier than recent years, the true pro ev and indeed football fans will now get to play the finest football game, one word superb!!!
Customer Review: Pro DEvolution 2008
I’ll be honest, when I first got into football games on to consoles, the first one I owned was FIFA International Soccer for the SNES. Although dated, isometric and unofficial, the game was a pretty good experience. It showed me that as long as the game was fun to play, that alone could overcome some of the game’s short comings.

I was a FIFA fanboy up until 2005 (on my Gamecube, yes, I stayed loyal to Nintendo too) when after being “forced” to play the so-called enemy, Pro Evo, I was hooked. The game lacked a licence and didn’t have the hundreds of teams FIFA offered, but instead, went for the more realistic approach to the game, it was more fluent, goals required actual skill and was an overall more satisfying experience.

I eventually gave up on FIFA and ended up for the next two years buying a second hand PS2 just to play Pro Evo 5 & 6. When the next gen consoles came along, I went with the PS3 and I eagerly awaited Pro Evo 2008. I hoped that the game would have the near-perfect of the original games with the added bonus of crisp, high-definition graphics with a better online mode.

So, come late October, Pro Evo 2008 was released, I knew it had a lot to live up to, despite turning on FIFA, I actually enjoyed FIFA 08 despite some problems but still deep down knew it would be well and truly trounced by it’s counter-part.

Sadly, my hopes came crashing down, along with mine and many others.

Pro Evo 2008 to bluntly put it, shouldn’t have been released. This isn’t just my opinion, this is a lot of people’s, including its creator, Shingo ‘Seabass’ Takatsuka who has stated the game shouldn’t of but had to be released. If that hasn’t warned you of the bashing this game will get, then this message should.

The most important part of Pro-Evo is the gameplay. The PS2’s titles although had a few ningles, we’re pretty much flawless. Although it has transcended well, a few too many bits and pieces haven’t. Controls are exactly the same as before (which is fine if you’ve played Pro Evo before, but newer players will pick it up in time too). There’s a few new features, one of which is diving, which will either cause you to jump for joy after winning a penalty, or feel like killing your system if the game does the same to you. The A.I for your opposition is alright, it still hard to score and if you make a good set piece, then chances are you weren’t lucky and you generally did a good job.

The referee however seems to be in a time warp and has gone back to the ways of Pro Evo 4, in that, he hands out cards like breaths of air. Seriously, unless you do a slide tackle from the front and win the ball, chances are, your player could be sent off. In a multiplayer game I had, I had 3 players sent off for fairly normal tackles (in Football, a contact sport, keep that in mind) whilst my friend had 4 players kicked off for similar challenges, normally straight reds. It might be Konami’s way of making sure slide-tackles are used to a minimum and discourage players from using them in the real world, but sometimes, when it’s needed and it’s a slight mistake, you’d think they’d be a bit more lenient.

Looks wise, although this is the PS3 (which has had a pretty mix card in its first year) and although it’s Pro Evo, I did expect a bit more bling for my buck. Sadly, the game just doesn’t cut it. Even on a Hi-Def TV, it still looks pretty poor. Pitches look drab, the crowd looks pretty poor (which it always did, just now, you’d expect they’d have the power to perhaps, touch it up). Some players look like their real life counter-parts, but for others, it will be a complete guessing game and it can be pretty distracting.

Speaking of distracting, how about we add a bit of lag to the experience? Yep, Pro Evo, famed for its fluency and well paced action, has now replaced it with slowdown and lag. Some stadiums are worse then others, but replays, many players on screen (e.g. corners and battles in the middle of the pitch) and online have suffered tremendously. Luckily a patch has just been released which does cure most of these problems, but online is still pretty much unplayable and the odd problem still happens offline.

Overall, Pro Evolution 2008 is the start of Konami’s venture into next-gen consoles (you could include last years since PE6 was on the Xbox 360, but since there was no PS3 or Wii versions, it’s the first game with all next-gen platforms) and it’s gone pretty downhill. Instead of just updating PE6 with fancy graphics, some new moves and an updated roster, something else happened and this is the end result. It’s done some good things, but as a whole, its a very disappointing experience and not worthy of buying (which is evident with the recent price dropping). If you want a real football experience on your console, keep PE6 and wait until next year, if your that bothered for a next gen football game, FIFA 08 is your only other option, which after this travesty, doesn’t seem that bad anymore.
