Pro Evolution Soccer 2010

Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 (PES 2010 for short) is another installment in Konami's successful soccer game series for the PlayStation 2. Even though the PS2 is no longer technically up to date, PES 2010 offers a surprisingly mature and realistic soccer experience - with revised gameplay, licensed competitions and many game modes.

The UEFA Champions League, which is fully licensed and included in the game - including the original logo, official anthem and authentic presentation - is a particular focus. The UEFA Europa League is also on board.

The feel of the game has been noticeably improved: the AI is smarter, passing is more precise and player movements are more fluid. Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 places great emphasis on tactical thinking and team play. The matches are exciting and demand a strategic approach from the player.

In the popular Champions League mode, you take control of a club and lead it to the top over several seasons - including transfers, talent scouting and team management. Those who like to get creative can create their own players, kits and teams in the extensive editing mode - ideal for making up for missing licenses.

In addition to individual games and leagues, PES 2010 also offers a local multiplayer mode. With a multitap adapter, up to four players can compete together - perfect for exciting soccer evenings with friends.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 impressively demonstrates what is still possible on the PlayStation 2. With realistic game mechanics, licensed competitions and many customization options, it is a must for all soccer fans who are still loyal to their PS2.
