Jon Murphy: Wii Pro Evolution Soccer 08 is better than the PS3, 360 versions - Image 1In an interview, John Murphy, European PES team leader, said that the Wii version is better than the versions released earlier. The Wii version of Konami's Pro Evoution Soccer 2008 (PC, PS2, PSP, DS) may have been released on a much later date than the PS3, Xbox 360 versions, but it's definitely packing quite a punch.

Do be informed that the versions that were released faced much criticisms. These versions had stuttering effects for the PS3 and were pestered with never-ending online problems as reported by Xbox 360 owners.

According to Murphy, the Wii version "
isn’t just a good football game, it is an ambitious one." Because of what the they were able to do with this particular version, fans of the franchise might have to rethink when playing it: "the user orchestrates the entire team."

In addition to this, Murphy said that the Wii PES  has the best online experience to date when compared to the other versions. This particular feature encourages competition, bringing out the best and the worst in players. The online play will be extending the competitive nature of the game and will be "vital in the progression of the series."

 » It is....

Iv played on both (PS3 and Wii), although on the PS3 its a good looking game it had lost the gameplay of the other versions. It also lagged in HD on replays and online was laggy.
I was pleasently suprised when i played the Wii version, it does have a learning curve(getting used to the new controls can be abit tricky), but most importantly the good ol' pro evo gameplay was back that it had lost in previous verions.
The game isnt PS3 caliber graphics but who cares when the gameplay is better?

 » Maybe it has to do with the fact that

the PS3 and 360 versions did absolutely nothing progressive. This has been my favourite soccer game for a long time and PES 2007 (360) and 2008 (PS3) disappointed me pretty badly. The Wii version stands out because it does new things. I like playing sports games with a regular controller so I will continue to put money into the PS3 version, but they better do something to fix its problems. One hint Konami: stop trying to rip off EA's FIFA. You have been better than them for years.
