Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 Reviews
This is the game that PES enthusiasts have been waiting for! Simply put, PES has recaptured its form with Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 and its coming to claim its genre.
FIFA and PES seem to have swapped shirts, with neither catering to the original audience they once set out to attract. Based on this year's offerings, though, it's PES that has the clearer direction of where it's headed. Perhaps most tellingly of all, PES 2015 is more satisfying in defeat than FIFA 15 is in victory.
PES returns to the Premier League in its best iteration in years.
Modes and presentation still need some work, but Konami has finally delivered with the gameplay. On the pitch, where it matters, PES 2015 has a clear edge over FIFA 15.
PES stands alone, and this year finally delivers on the next generation of consoles. A great looking, immensely satisfying kickabout.
After several years of seemingly going through the motions, PES 2015 absolutely nails the football side of things whilst making small advances other departments. There is still work to be done for next year, but for now, where it matters most, PES is on the up.
Konami has claimed the interactive soccer crown with Pro Evolution Soccer 2015. While last year's iteration was an obvious stepping stone, this one is the real deal, and may be the best soccer game ever made.
The goal has been simple for Konami; make the beautiful game beautiful to play. On that score alone PES wins hands down and the gauntlet has truly been thrown down for next year's derby clash. It seems that those big signings haven't guaranteed FIFA the title.
Konami have, after a long time, brought themselves back into the fight with the FIFA series with a shout, thanks to a massive improvement over PES 2014 in every possibly way. PES 2015 is probably the best PES game till date.
If football games are your passion, if they're something you play regularly for the love of the game, Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 obliterates this year's FIFA.
A triumphant return to the top for footballing's favourite son.
The game is definitely better than last year and puts the series in good standing, but it's not a monument for the genre itself
A triumphant return for PES this year, after spending many years rotting away in the lower leagues. While PES 2015 might not match EA and FIFA's spending power in terms of licenses and what not, where it matters, on the pitch, this ageing superstar is getting a recall to the first eleven.
As ever before, the two are absolutely worlds apart. It's not something we'd necessarily say is a must, but there's no real harm in owning both footballing giants. They both offer something unique to them that makes them a worthwhile experience, but if you're after true mastery then you're best off dedicating your time to just one. The choice boils down to a few key points, and if you can overlook the licensing issues and lacklustre presentation then PES 2015 delivers an awesome game of football that could swallow you up for months to come.
A top notch soccer sim that deserves your attention this holiday.
A significant improvement on the last generation of Pro Evo games, and for the first time in years PES is more entertaining than the new FIFA.
I would much rather play soccer in this game than in FIFA 15.
PES 2015 is a genuine return to form for the series, one that competes with FIFA on every step, pass, and shot.
So PES 2015 isn't quite the FIFA killer that many may have hoped, as there are many things that the current iteration of EA's footie series does better. Yet the gap has narrowed significantly with PES 2015, and the hardest part of any sports game -- the gameplay and feel of the sport -- has never been better than with this year's installment. That alone makes PES 2015 worth a look for those disappointed with FIFA 15's on-field action.
While still suffering from a lack of licenses, Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 makes up for it with some of the best simulation style soccer gameplay in gaming.
