It's a long-standing match up that comes around ever year, dividing gamers as to which of these footie feasts is the best. Is it Fifa with it's full house of licenses, or is it PES with the unrivaled gameplay? Each year the battles are fought, with allegiances made to each of the ultimate titles in football gaming.
But wait… upsetting the applecart just enough this year is Konami, who have introduced something a little different for all the Wii owners, with the release of Pro Evolution Soccer 2008. Out goes the old control system, and in comes a system that allows you to orchestrate all the players in your team. Via the use of the remote controller (with the occasional nunchuck swing), you can control the runs of any of your teams players, on and off the ball, dribbling, closing down and tackling, passing and moving into space, clearing your lines and shooting."
