PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER 5 (PES5)

I am currently playing this game now. It was introduced to me by Paul, the PS2 guy in Labuan. I was telling him about how I enjoyed Winning Eleven (W-11) v.9 when he told me PES5 is the English/US version of it. I got PES5 for my PS2 and did not stopped playing it. The PES5 official website is good.

The gameplay is great and realistic. It is played by many real-life players, including Thierry Henry and John Terry who appear on the cover. The cool thing is that I can create a player who looks like me when I have enough PES points. Brilliant.

I prefer PES5 than W-11. Mostly because I understand the menus and instructions.However, the W-11 has better gameplay. It is damn addictive and will keep on at it until the World Cup 2006 in Germany is over.
