Pro Evolution Soccer has steadily defined itself as an arcade experience over the years. Its instant playability remains a staple of the series that continues to suffer under FIFA's success.

I was a bit disappointed with P.E.S. 2012 as everyone was excited to see a significant change in A.I.

The A.I; has been improved a whole lot

B.A.L; is a bit slow as always starting out, think it could used a revamp

It's not much to say that PES 2013 is an improvement on its predecessors. Each year has seen the once sporting superstar of the PS2 era make iterative improvements to its core systems, but must have felt inconsequential compared to the technical might of FIFA.

Overall Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 is a great step in the right direction for the series. There's still plenty of areas that can be improved, specifically the online aspect of gaming, yet more licenses and the menu system could do with an overhaul, but if you're looking for an alternative to *the...

A positive step for PES; Champions League licence returns; Improved gameplay

Online setup seemed poor; delay in getting a game, Still lack of team licences, Still seems to be missing that something special

So the casual observer, football games are much of a muchness. They all do the same thing, right? But, as any virtual pro will tell you, the difference between FIFA and Pro Evo over the years has been notable – though while FIFA has been the superior product in recent times, it's still been a...

I previously posted an inaccurate review stating that certain features were missing from the game! This was my own error and now having played this game for almost three months, I can safely report that this is the best footbal simulation to date, by a long way.

I'm a customer since 2009 and all of the purchases come at accurate time and condition...Great seller...

Pro Evolution Soccer , once the king of the football gaming genre, has fallen behind rival series FIFA during the current console generation, both in terms of sales and critical acclaim.

Loads of gameplay improvements; Game modes to suit all types of players; Lovely graphics for the most part

Lack of numerous official licenses; Commentary could be better; Master League presentation is too similar to PES 2012's

Many fans of this popular gaming series know how stale the PES (Winning Eleven in some countries) franchise has become. Many have persistently bemoaned the spiral downwards after changes came after Pro Evolution Soccer 6 - arguably the best PES by far. That is, until now.

Slick menus; excellent graphics; enjoyable game modes

Mechanics still seem slightly off; lack of picture upload on Become a Legend

Get the horses in the barn, the cows in the back field, and put the kids to bed. Why? Because there is a new king of soccer games. PES 2013 is the best soccer game this year. Hands down PES 2013 is safer for families than anything else on the market. I know that is a bold statement.
