Wery good, |
| ALION from Indianapolis, Indiana ,USA says (6/Jun/2004): |
This is one of the games that I can say soccer. You feel it in. If you want to play kid game play FIFA, it should be fun too, but if you want to play soccer play this, make your own team see the realistic part of soccer , with it's realities.But you have to take it serius. I think this is the game for only the fans of soccer and who realy likes it. Grafphics are not perfect but if you want to see good graphic, go wach a soccer mach on tv. If you say you are in, play this and feel it.

This Game Is Wicked. |
| Liam from North Hykeham, Lincoln, England says (28/May/2004): |
I bought this game when it first came out and have played on it for over 1000 hours altogether. I reckon its the best football game to be released, but now that PES3 has came out it seems like an even better game.
If you have PES2 here are a few tips and good players to buy, If you have it for PS1 this is.
Popovic - Defence - Australia
Mutu - Striker - Romania
R Carlos - Defender - Navarra, Brazil
Kanu - Striker - London, Nigeria
Babandiga - Winger - Nigeria, I think
for a better cross press your cross button when near goal line twice, quickly. It will put a faster ball into the box and can trick a lot of defenders. And if your head gets on it you can score quite an easy goal. Kanu is good when you have a corner but the ball so its too high for the defence to jump up to, then kanu can do a perfect header straight into the back of the net.
I play Babandiga in defence and he tackles nearly every1 but if they do get past him he just runs back to tackle them because he has got top speed. And Viera is good to get to play in DMF (Defensive Midfield) his corners are great.
If you havent got this or PES3 BUY THEM NOW!!!!!!!!

This Kicks FIFA's Ass from london to Mars!! |
| Aaron Panesar from London, England says (15/Apr/2004): |
The PS1 has come up with pure gold when coming up with this game. Konami have developed this game and they have done a great job. ISS 2 is 10x more realistic (from shooting to goal celebrations), the graphics are better, game play is more exciting and every aspect including training is better. FIFA is too simple. Everyone is the same height, more power doesn't mean that the shot on goal is less accurate and their goal celebrations are crap. The idea of having clubs for the master league in an INTERNATIONAL game is a If you want a basic, unadventuraous game, buy FIFA, if you want realism, go for ISS!!

iss pro evoterrible 2 |
| callum from scotland says (26/Dec/2003): |
I think that it was terrible granted the gameplay is great but they don't have the real player names giggs is geaggs, carlos corlos,lopez laupez,ronaldo ronnaldo. They call the teams things like london ???????? comentery is rubbish the only good thing is the create a player boring boring boring boring infact so boring I'd rather do homework so buy the fifa series do not go through the torture of this game so bad makes broken sword look great konami hve failed to diliver any great spectacle I have over 100 games and this is the worst I have.
so please don't buy it if you have it burn it.

Stunning AND could be better |
| Eric the Red from Republic of Mancunia says (20/Oct/2003): |
This game is for real football fans. If you want fancy-looking graphics and a title sequence that goes on all day but rubbish, unrealistic gameplay then go and buy FIFA. If you want realism and a game of football the way it was intended to be played, then buy this.
Everyone seems to agree that the graphics on ISS are crap - but I ask you to take a second look. Look at Paul Scholes, Beckham, Owen, Dyer, Henry, Carlos - they look, run and kick JUST like their real-life counterparts! They're even different heights, something which games like Fifa have never realised (Scholes the same height as Ferdinand in Fifa).
Also, a player's preferred foot really makes a difference, which means you have to try and get it on the favoured one to shoot. Just try shooting with Giggs's right foot - another slice of realism as it bobbles slowly to the keeper!
Having said that, there are some areas for improvement. For a start, the way the players, when muscled off the ball, stand around for 5 seconds like Emile Heskey has to be changed. Also, you can't do a long range shot along the ground. A perfectly-timed sliding tackle nearly always results in a booking and the PS2 is a dirty b*stard!
Hopefully they'll iron these things out with ISSPE3 - I hear injured players will have bandages on wrists and legs, hair will flow more, players will get muddy. All fine and dandy but let us score with a daisy-cutter and I'll die a happy man.
Just one last thing - the standard of English on some of these posts is downright shocking. 'Iratating', 'reliese', 'appauling', 'the ball roled passed' - do none of you read or what?

ok |
| Jim Howlett from nottingham, England says (22/Aug/2003): |
Pro evolution is a good game. my friends like it.I like it.what do i have to say about this game? Its got good graphics and realistic players. bad news the chioce of teams like club teams is disgraceful, the international teams are ok just like any other.But theres still sumet wrong now with the football games.
|
BRILLIANT STUFF |
| simon robertson from Blackpool,England says (18/Aug/2003): |
What can i say this is a brilliant game with all you can ask for in a football game. It starts off with a nice and simple menu and when you have picked your style of match you simply find your team and progress to the match. the graphics during the game are superb such as the sliding tackles look almost like real slide tackles and the staidiums look realistic aswell as alot of other things.
|
fantastic, but could be improved to immaculate in pes3!! |
| ronaldo from london, england says (18/Aug/2003): |
the fact that this game does not have likeness rites or a vast selection of teams let it down, also the fact u cant trade out of the master league mode. however, for sheer gameplay, this has to be the best football game ever! realistic movements, tackles and players. only possible improvements = likeness rites, more teams, ability to transfer players. thus, if you love graphics and selection, buy fifa2003, but if you love football get pro evolution 2. this is the ultimate football game for actual gameplay, and that is ofcourse the most important thing!!!
|
room for improvement for the 3rd, but a great game with fantastic gameplay ability. |
| ian from london england says (18/Aug/2003): |
for years i have owned and adored every fifa game, but when i came across fifa2003 i was bitterly disappointed with the gameplay, i then found pro evolution soccer 2. PES2 does not have the best graphics, does not have a vast team selection, or the ability to trade players out of the master league mode. however, pro evolution 2 is a game for football fans, those who like playability. fifa gets tiresome and is easily mastered. but pro evolution poses a challenge each time. with realistic player movements, konami have actually captured players individual styles of play, whereas in fifa, all players play identical in movement and style of play. for playing against friends, pro evolution is the best because the games are always close, fifa is far too easy to score in. PES2 is fantastic however, does have major room for improvement, so im sure all us PES fans will be eagerly awaiting the 3rd game and hoping konami have improved on their few weaker points, -> more teams, more players, and ability to trade out of the master league.

This is the best game I have ever played !!! |
| Iaku from Attard, Malta says (15/Aug/2003): |
I am a great fan of football and when I heard that the Iss was made in I was one of the first people to buy it. It has lots of strategies different. It has many teams, it has good graphics and good passes. The Fifa is anything near the Iss.
|
The BEST ps game I ever played - TOO GOOD ! |
| Clizmael from Siggiewi, Malta says (29/Jul/2003): |
I'm a great fan of Football and so when I went to buy a ps1 CD I had to select a football CD game. Atv first I was going to buy the Fifa because it was one of the most popular. But as I saw someone playing the ISS Pro Evolution, I soon bought it. When I new that the ISS 2 was invented , I soon bought it and realised that this was better. But now that the ISS 3 is made, I want to buy the ps2 so that I would play it.
The ISS Pro Evolution 2 is the best game I ever played on the ps1. The graphics are super and the controls are excellent. The Master League makes the ISS more enthusiastic because one can create his own team. The other leagues are O.K. too. The Edit mode has very vast items to select and the best is that you can create your own player. The Classic and All-Stars teams were a good idea to enjoy because you can buy these players to and enter them in your Master League team (Note that these teams are shown in the ISS only by using the cheats).
But I think that if the ISS will include also the Champions League(playing with the real team - not with Castello or Miranda etc...) it will be better.
The supporters in the game are very good. Also, the players have a very real aspect. The dribbling is also good and easy to use.
The ISS 3 is better because it has more teams in the ML, lately players, and one can select the Expert difficulty because the Hard difficulty is too easy.
There is no footbal game in the world, for example the Fifa, that is better than the ISS Pro Evolution 2.

The best game ever |
| Jolin from London says (23/Jul/2003): |
When i got PS2 i got both Fifa and iSS Pro Evolution2 cause i did not know which one was better. However, immediatley after playing, i knew that Iss 2 was much more greater apart from the fact that the players don't move when they are passed to. However, the graphics were fantastic and so was the game as a ahole. It is the best footy game ever made.

The best football game there is, no two ways about it. |
| Ads from Glasgow says (30/Jun/2003): |
This game really is the best football game you can buy it has the best gameplay because it is simply the most realistic (except of course for the parts where you pass to someone and they just stand completely still!) the statistics the players are based on is much better system than fifa's. A lot of people have said how easy it is to score in pro evolution 2 but did you notice that in fifa 2001 and 2002 all you had to do to score was run down the wing cross it to someone in the centre and 10 times out of ten you score an overhead kick which is just about the most ridiculous and unrealistic aspect of football because you get people like Heskey doing something that not only is he incapable of but also scoring, another thing he's incapable of! Also the reason there are little club teams is because the game stemns from the ISS series INTERNATIONAL superstar soccer this game was always meant to have an emphasis on international teams so the fact there is an amazing master league mode is a fantastic bonus. Apart from the aforementioned flaw about standing still evrything else is realistic the goalkeepers are different in skill level unlike fifa where every keeper is a carbon copy of each other and it pays attention to detail with shooting that if a player is under pressure from a defender he'll probably miss likewise if u overpower a shot. ofcourse in fifa when you full power the bar you dont miss you just smack it into the net faster despite who the keeper is. Thus this game is much better than fifa games in all possible aspects (and i'm including graphics in that by the way) and is the best football game you can buy.

Fifa v Iss? Sorry Konami, but Fifa wins |
| Joe Booth from Manchester, England says (22/Jun/2003): |
Hmm. Alan Shearer with England doesn't sound quite right in 2001, does it? Are Konami a bunch of cretins or is their lack of footy nous going to take over their lives? They say that each player's running style and skills are rationalised, but what's the point if each player has the same bloody face every time?
Anyway, they say that the Master League has been updated. If a competition like the Master League would commence, why the hell does it have West Ham in the choice of teams? They weren't very good then and they're crap now, so why include them?
I agree with that fella who got annoyed about the players waiting for the ball to come to them. It's so agonizing. And that defending! Even if you have a back four of Roberto Carlos, Stam, Nesta and Cafu they still behave like carthouses in their own eighteen yard box.
So anyway, down to the good points. Er...

Great Game - The Best Football Sim On The Market |
| MikeYee.co.uk from Wirral, UK says (29/May/2003): |
Before I decided to write a review I looked at quite a few that people had written and most of the flaws I had to laugh at.
Firstly, the 1-2 function has not disappeared - if you can't be bothered to read the booklet then you won't know how to do it! It's on page 9 of the instruction booklet! Fair enough, Konami have changed how it is carried out but it is still there. And you can also find out the various moves a player can do by using the new 'Tutorial' training option.
And the reason why Konami can't have all the football teams like Fifa can is in the title. Fifa has the official FIFA licence and therefore can use all the names, teams, kits, stadiums as they have the official rights. Pro Evolution 2 only has a FIFPro licence which limits them to a few countries - hence there are no Dutch players names and Arsenal are 'London'. But these consmetic problems can be changed by simply renaming the teams/players. And Konami have decided to have a selection of Master (or Champions) League teams you can play with. I know supporters of the lower teams are a little disappointed but I'd rather have very detailed World Class European teams.
Konami's attention to detail on every player is fantastic. You can tell who each player is and they have different playing styles - unlike Fifa. Beckhams movement and kicking technique are just an example. In Fifa they have made a better effort with the looks of the individual players but they all run and play the same! Each team is like playing with 11 ryan gigg's with different faces! Fair enough - some players are over/underated, but you cannot expect Konami to get EVERY single player spot on. You can change their appearence and their skill levels if it really bothers you.
And people who complain about the gameplay are probably not very good at it - and constantly hold down R1 and X! The through ball can't be just used whenever, you have to pick the right moment to do it which is part of the challenge. I'm sure those complaining about how some features are bad and don't seem to work very well (such as the shooting, passing, etc.) watch a lot of football but don't/can't play football themselves!
Overall, of course there are flaws, no game is perfect - but there are soooo many great aspects to this game. This is simply the BEST Football Sim out there. Each version of this GAME have been better than the last and I'm sure Konami will do us proud in Pro Evolution 3 when it's out this Xmas. Even Fifa 2003 have copied the Pro Evolution series by making R1 run, having power bars etc. But there is only ONE Soccer Sim and Pro Evolution 2 is it. Until the 3rd one of course ;)

Much better than Fifa! |
| Jay from Maidstone, England says (26/May/2003): |
I've only had a playstation 2 4 a short while, but i knw a gr8 game when i c 1. PE2 is much better than FIFA 03. Although FIFA has ruled the football games over the past 8-9 yrs, PE2 has pretty much elicipsed it. Gr8 game play, superb graphics, better commentary (Motty is a twat, long live brooking) and with the added option of creating a team full of former players (Pele, Maradona, etc) Pro Evolution is miles ahead.

Not perfect but still the best |
| Paul Church from Brighton,England says (11/May/2003): |
There are two types of person in this world, Pro Evolution 2 fans and Fifa 2003 fans. I have recently been playing Fifa since my friend believes that nothing can compare to it in terms of playability, and while i think the graphics are quite impressive it is clear that the those fine people at konami are doing the best job. It is nowhere near perfect (player/club names, dodgy challenges) but Pro Evolution is the only game which can provide such nail biting games, especially when playing against friends. I think we should cut konami some slack and while they're busy slaving away trying to make a game we won't find anything to moan about, get your mates round for some pizza and beer and stick on Pro Evolution 2.
