Pro Evolution Soccer 2008



The Pro Evolution Soccer finals are currently being held in Seville in Spain, an event at which the gaming press has been given the first in-depth look at Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 for the Nintendo Wii.

Rather than Electronic Arts’ decision to display the pitch from a top-down view with FIFA Soccer 08, PES 2008 is a more traditional, side-on affair. To take control of the ball, gamers will simply aim the Wii Remote pointer at space on the screen, and the selected player will dribble into said space.

The Wii Remote will also allow great accuracy in passing, whether it is a short and direct pass, or presenting a through ball as an opportunity to cut through the defence. Passing will be controlled with the A button, while a shake of the Nunchuck initiates a shot.

All sounds very intriguing. We’ll bring you more on PES 2008, which is scheduled for release in spring 2008, as we get it.
