Pro Evolution Soccer 4 (Xbox)

Although there was little room for improvement over Pro Evolution Soccer 3's supreme gameplay, Konami has seemingly found it. Dribbling has been given especial attention; the result is tighter control. Crosses, too, are now easier to perform exactly as desired. Also, penalty kicks and free kicks offer increased accuracy with their adoption of a new control system.

Some 136 club sides, including all 56 teams of the Spanish, Italian and Dutch leagues (these are officially licensed) are on offer in Pro Evolution Soccer 4, as well as 50-odd national teams. The Xbox version also features online play via Xbox Live. Typically, this new version of Pro Evolution is the most comprehensive to date--the new season in videogame football kicks off in spectacular fashion. --Jonti Davies

So..I got pro evo 4 wacked it on and played a match. brilliant it was outstanding in fact, realistic, not stupidly hard yet still quite challenging and general alround fun. I think that sums up pro evo 4 really.

Now alot of people may not like the pro evo series for it being un licensed and not all proper names etc. Well personally that dosn't bother me because im not that into football so arn't really worried and id much rather have good game play. But the thing that let this game down are the menus and selection screens, i honestly think i could have done better, they are abismal in every way :( .

However this game in my opinion is THE greatest football game, so do your self a favour stop playing fifa games and buy a proper fottie game.


The only football game on the XBOX   September 5, 2005

If you have an xbox and need a football game,Pro evo is the only for you.
I started(like everyone)buying the fifa series and found them getting worse and worse everytime.I needed some thing different so i got pro evo 3 on my PC and found it so much better.Once i heard pro evo 4 was coming to the xbox i was over the moon and hoped i wouldn't be disapointed.I wasn't.
Pro evo hasn't got the licences or the quantity of teams on fifa but has far superior gameplay.
Pro evo has the master league (the equivelent to career mode)which keeps you entertained + amused for hours and hours.It also has xbox live which is also great.If you also take a little time you can put right all the unlicensed players and teams on edit mode.If you haven't already bought it, buy it because your missing out.

Graphics - 8/10 Not amazing but still very good

Gameplay - 10/10 You won't get better

Lifespan - 7/10 won't keep you going forever but has live


Must buy for Xbox   August 3, 2005
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

Already hit the "Classics" on the shelves, this game is a definate buy for players offline or on. So much to learn, so much to do. The player structures have been lifted from the previous games to give the game a new edge over it's competitors. You control the player, and the ball, as opposed to pre-determined moves in other games.

The Master League stands on the original basis of you manage and play your team from the lowest league, and slowly build them up and increase your status and experience as you move along. Buying in players must be dealt with carefully, as wages and transfer money can be spent easily, and as soon as you go in the red when the season ends....Game Over.

Xbox Live - As a big fan of Xbox Live, this game has to be one of the best along side Ghost Recon 2. I just keep coming back for more (after 5 months of having this game), I'm still playing online. Great people to meet, although a few prefer to play silently. It opens up a new area of football and is very addictive and enjoyable to play on Live. Only for two players, but you find yourself setting up players, strategies and formations just so you can get that extra chance at goal.

Overall, one of the best football games ever. If you don't like football, you'll still like this game....even my girlfriend plays and she hates the game in real life ;-)

5/5
