Still work to do... |
| $havie$ from UK says (16/Dec/2002): |
OK, i got this game and thought wow! what was i doing with FIFA! but now a couple of weeks in and some classic bouts with my mates its all sunk down to earth again. on the bad side - the commentary is disgusting, it makes me cringe especially when that dick says 'i tell a lie, he's missed', you never said i had scored in the 1st place! this has to be addressed in the next game. also player movement needs to be looked at.. running after the ball is crap, tapping the button to run is much better. more detail needs to be paid to the crowd and they really should get a liscence for player names and make more teams, instead of having london as the only English team they should have all the teams, its not even hard for them to do. actually i am so annoyed with this game i cant be bothered to point out its good points. i mean yes i like it and yes it beats fifa to a pulp but still football games need to sort themselves out pretty damn quick. in a word the controls for pro eve 2 are 'un-responsive'

Oranges drive me nuts..... |
| Carlo Juve from Manchester says (13/Dec/2002): |
After the anticipation of the release of this monolithic game, I am neither disappointed or elated at the differences chosen to be used this time round.
I cannot help but feel that the playability (although in some aspects visually and playably amazing) are somewhat of the FIFA mould and now are a 'flick' away from always being brilliant... what happened to the pass and move strategy this game has always adopted... ISS 1 was a masterpiece and hard to play in the sense that goals where not leaked in all parts of the fields and nearly all players couldn't dribble with incredible accuracy. Passing was the key to success. Now I find myself in human matches wondering where my defence are and why Sami Hyypia has ran from his own area into mine and scored without a tackle being made?? But apart from this and the diabolical player names (ORANGES????) I think that ISS 2 is again ahead of the pack as no other footy games have come close. The kit edits and the little perks it has included are marvellous but more kits and more bonus teams gained at a higher ability level are needed. Better tournament set-ups with the option to play real-life domestic leagues etc would be ground-breaking.It just seem such a shame that we have to wait three games and much money to get where konami know we need to be. Bring on ISS 3 like the above and I would bcome the konami mascot and wear konami T-Shirts forever and ever

simply superb |
| Caolan Brady from Belfast,Ireland says (5/Dec/2002): |
ISS pro evolution is a not just the best computer/football game ever made it is a way of life. It has a special place in hearts and minds of millions. I myself have played the ISS genre of football game for roughly 4 years and in that time I think I have to timed ISS 3 times. (which I am so sorry for) I am a student in belfast and I personally think there should be a degree or better still a school of ISS.

Better Than Fifa |
| Pat Ahern from Farran,Co.Cork, Ireland. says (1/Dec/2002): |
Once Again konami bring us the best soccer game ever.however it has made some good and bad changes.Firstly Peter Brackley Is better but they counteract this by putting trevor brooking and his highly annoying voice in.Secondly the players touch on the ball is more realistic makin it better but finally if you're going to change the names of the teams you might as well not have the commentator not mention them at all.Overall its the best but lets hope konami listen to the people who actually play the game.

The best footy game on the ps2 or not |
| sam gurung from England, london says (17/Nov/2002): |
I have played this game millions of times and have tried out every good team there is. The controles are excellent commentry a little boring. The game has its good bits and bat bit, for example the team are great but wouldnt the best creators ever "Konami" would spell there names right instead of Roberolarcos change it into Roberto carlos. Over than that the graphics of the players are the best.The croud still looks like cardboard cutouts (like every footy game) Pro evolution soccer 2 is out now and they cant spell there names right. oh well lets hope that fifa 2003 is better or can pro evolution bring out something better.
overall 8/10

Easy on the eye..not on the brain |
| Nasar Niaz from United Kingdom, London says (7/Nov/2002): |
Pro Evo 2 is good. Lets not mess around. Looks great, plays well and is lots of fun. Its probably the nearest thing you will get to Virtual Striker 3 at the arcades. The training modes are excellent and player detail is outstanding. But why only 7/10? Well, Pro 1 is and was a master piece in football playability. Complex and felxible. Pro 2 has made the game more fun but ultimately easier. More freedom to dribble, shooting is simpler and the speed of the game defies logic. I am waiting for Pro 3 because if it can bridge the gap between the first two games then we will have a the best football game ever!!!

If it aint broken don't fix it. |
| David Cashman from Cork,Ireland says (1/Nov/2002): |
I'm a firm believer in keeping a winning formula and in parts of this game Konami have abandoned this concept. y friend and I played pro evo. every day for the past year and we asked ourselves how could they improve the masterpiece. Well in making the game totally realistic by highlighting certain players strengths and weaknesses and by doing this making them individuals. This part of the game is incredible. However the player animation shuld have stayed the same as the last game because they look like buig bodied necless freaks in this game. Why didntthey just keep the same club names as before the new ones are just absurd and whats with the dutch players? Why didn't they just mix up the letters in their names instead of giving them numbers. also Peter Brackley is a great commentator so if your paying him to talk so just let him do that instead of giving him stupid phrases its like listening to chris james again. In conclusion keep the good points from the old game you don't have to change everything to have a good sequel.

If it aint broken why fix it! |
| Richie from Plymouth, England says (30/Oct/2002): |
I waited 6 months for the games release, waited outside before store opened, it was raining and I think I'd finally lost it. Traded old game off the value and went home with a smile. Only to discover they had dropped my fav R2 dribble on previous version, nooo I thought. At times players seem to dribble away without ball at feet. Is this game finished I thought, who was testing for these bugs? A game that sells more copies than any other football game yet still cant have correct team names. Well thats all thats bad, whats good is.. Freedom of passing, the ability to run into space is amazing. More Master league teams, strp design, team edits. The list goes on. The most impressive feature has to be the advanced AI. Now if your team has a narrow lead in the 80 minute, expect an onslaught as the COM team boosts its attack to full. "clear it, kick it out"! Great game, could be better!

Stunnin' |
| ISS Legend from Glasgow says (26/Oct/2002): |
ISS 2 is just simply THE best footy game for the games console ever! it beats any FIFA and any other $hit-hand made games like 'this is football'. Obviously the editors need to give the music a little more thinking along with the commentry, but other than that the little gooks have got it spot on!
|
the best |
| martin trickett from england says (22/Oct/2002): |

Good, but not good enough |
| Jamie Furlong from Harrogate says (6/Jun/2002): |
This game i thought had everything. Super gameplay, although the players are square and the commentry is poor it still rates much better than any FIFA 'till 2010 if they carry on going the way they are. Despite this, I realized that there is too little to do. You get a choice of Master League or League. This is not enough! There should be real tournaments, cups, and better music! It is still the best footy game on the PSOne but compared to This is Football 2002 on the PS2 this is nothing. Realistic options such as diving and many more teams should be added to ISS 2 just as this is football 2002 has. A good game, but may gather some dust.

Quite simply the best sports game ever made! |
| Neil Davies from Cardiff says (24/Apr/2002): |
ISS Pro Evolution 2 is another incredibly addictive footie game in the Konami series. With so many great aspects to it, it stands out above FIFA etc.like Ryan Giggs in a Wales v.Armenia match. Everyone is aware by now of the sultry gameplay and the flawless graphics. The difficulty settings are just right and the small alterations to game speed and player editing will make the game have a long and happy life with gamers.
Commentary is still poor, there should be more specific comments to specific shots and tackles etc. If this is achieved, these small touches add to the realism and simulation of the game. The crowds should chant recognisable songs so we can sing along and should be specific to teams (Brazil-samba, England-"3 Lions etc!).
The player editor is a great feature as you can recreate the World Cup 2002 with the real England squad! Basically, what i'm tying to say is that this is a MUST BUY game, unless of course you own the PS2 version (how can they make this better.....)

I didnt think it could get much better |
| Cain from London, England says (8/Apr/2002): |
I was having doubts about buying this game because I thought it would be much the same as the previous version. I bought it anyway just 2 see. The begin sequence was superb as always, the graphic used made it look so realistic. When I started playing I noticed little tweeks in gameplay which made this even better than the first version. The gameplay was more difficult and it wasn't as easy to score, more control over the ball and the keepers are a lot better i feel. The only thing i didnt like was the lobbed through ball, its so hard to master it. Now the master leauge is much better with the 2 divisions and all. The only thing i would have prefered is for the computer teams being able 2 my transfers aswell. The points system is a good idea. One other thing, I think more diversity 2 the games options such as a cup where club teams can compete against nationl sides & and a better tranfer system in master league, you should also be able to get sacked. Other than that the game is menacing. Konami have made another g8 footie game which i havent been able to put down since i got it.

Lets not overreact |
| SJoerd Dijkstra from Groningen, Holland says (4/Apr/2002): |
I think we all agree ISS Pro etc. is a great game. In fact, I think it is the best sports game ever made. But am I the only one that sees a major BUT here? I mean sure the gameplay is great and everything, but the menu's and music and commentary and everything really suck. And it's also very annoying that every time you start a match, you have to check the line ups because the default line ups really suck. But the important thing is that the soccer part of the game (the only important part of the game) really kicks ass.

The greatest footy game ever?! |
| adam sparrowe from Gillingham,England says (28/Feb/2002): |
Where do I start? What a great game. Even a few liscenced names now, but who cares? This game is all about game play, the graphics are so smooth and it all seems like your there yourself. Hard mode is hard (unlike that other footy game) and you really have to learn all the tricks of the trade. However the commentary is a little lacking but who cares when you have smooth gameplay, graphics, the whole damn show. What a brill game. Can Pro Evolution Soccer better it? Probably. But who cares? Its ISS!!!

Nothing comes close! |
| David Charlton from Stratford upon Avon says (24/Feb/2002): |
Since a friend introduced me to ISS one, I have been hooked! ISS Pro Evolution 2 is better! All my other PSX games are getting dusty on the shelf. The skill involved and the feel of real football is something I have never experienced in a game before. A couple of years on and we are still shuttling between each others houses playing 2 player mode. Just like real football we can get 0-0 draws and sometimes 4-0 wins. BUY IT IF YOU HAVE'NT ALREADY!
|
how is this better than pro evo 2!?!?! |
| Mike Addison from Stockport, Manchester, England says (17/Jan/2002): |
When i heard that there was a ps2 version of pro evolution soccer I thought there was no way it could have been better than pro evo 2 on the psone - but luckily I was proved wrong!! Yes, there are flaws in some areas of the gameplay - it doesn't always give you control of the right player and 1 in 20 passes don't go where you would like them too, but the rest of the game is nothing short of phenomenal... for every 4-3 thriller there is a 0-0 bore draw, for every 30 yard Veron top corner screamer there's a six yard van Nistelrooy tap in - just 'cause the games lacking a few player names does not take away the value of the playability - besides, if you take 20 minutes you can edit all the false player names. Trust me, if you like football - and I stress FOOTBALL (not 'soccer' as is the preffered transatlantic name) buy this game!!! You will not be dissapointed.

The Greatest football game yet! |
| Azz from Bolton, Greater Manchester, UK says (6/Nov/2001): |
I have been playing ISS Pro Evolution for ages now and I still havent got bored of it yet, It is a great game with Superb Graphics, The game play is so real that I makes the game so enjoyable, they could be a few changed made to any future ISS games, Like the names of the Master League teams, and they could try and make it a bit more realistic by doing what This is Football 2 have done, When I say this I mean make some of the players hand ball it! Other than that I would pick ISS before any other Playstation game, If you havent played it then go and get it, you won't be dissapointed.

The, And I mean THE, Best football game EVER! |
| A Footabll Fan from Liverpool, England says (28/Oct/2001): |
I was a FIFA fan, I htought FIFA was great and that the ISS games were crap. One day, I bought a PlayStation Magazine, they had the demo of ISS Pro Evo 2, and I was hooked! It's so real, and it's even better now that they have the real names of the players! A couple of bad points though, you can do Exhibition Matches with club sides and in the Master League mode the have called Arsenal "London" when in actual fact there are about 10 football teams in London. Otherwise it's great. It's better than FIFA because you don't end up with ridiculos score lines like 26-0 (My highest FIFA score) but I ended up with 9-1 (My highest ISS score, and I've only had the game two days!) Put it this way. FIFA- Bad ISS Pro Evolution 2- GREAT Buy ISS TODAY!!!
