I was lucky and started downloading at about 10am.
Don't get your hopes up, not too impressed really, looks nicer but thats about it, seems the same as the last pes if not worse!

Though maybe you should wait for a review from a good player, I was never brilliant at it. Still, its off my shopping list.

mailrewop

what a game. only small changes but don't fix something thats not broke. i think its a lot better than last years and way better than fifa 08. can't wait till it's out but have to.

Took half an hour to download. Very nice indeed, passing is more accurate, player animations a lot more detailed. Lots of nice subtle touches from what i can see. Shooting is different, seems like it would be harder to score long range efforts (compared to PES 6) visuals are uber sweet. Hurry up October!

I just plsyed one game there and it's way better than PES 6 used to be. Playing pes6 on ps2 and that's good but this seems to have the fluidity that pes 6 didn't have 360. I'm good at this game but useless at 350 pes6 incase your wondering why i hate that version so much.

wasn't in pro 6 but not sure if it should be in this pro, especially in online play. another way for people to cheat. but if konami want this pro to be more realistic then you can't blame them. thanks very much Drogba.

Had one game, thought it was $h!t. Unresponsive and it doesn't matter what button you press, the computer does what it wants anyway.

Eh? Fifa for you then maybe? no offence but i reckon you're mad if you think that!

I only have my xbox a couple of weeks so have played neither franchise before but have definitely noticed a preference for PES on here.

Hit A to play short pass, balls gots booted halfway up the pitch and not on the ground.
Hold A to pressurise the opponent and it does a slide tackle.
Had to hit pass 2 secs before it did anything...
Wasnt a big fan of PES 6 either but it was definetely a lot better than this.

Are you mad? I've played PES since it was ISS back on the Super Nintendo, and never once had 'A' done a lofted ball instead of a short pass, and never has 'A' did a slide tackle. Somethings wrong with your controller if thats happening!

Just finished my first game there. A nil all draw brazil v turkey on prof. Liking it a lot. The speed is much better than Pro Evo 6. Player look a bit weird when they run tho

No I'm not mad, thats why I said the game was messed up.

On my 360 hit A to short pass = short pass...

I think something is up with yours.

BTW Pes 6 was a load of rubbish on 360 this one seems to be much better already and I only played 2/3 games.

Just so ye know this isnt the finished version of the game. The october release will be alot more refined!

Makaveli

As long as it plays like the ps2 version it should be grand.

I hope they don't release a stripped down version like Pro Ev 6. What a sham of a game that was.

Zapp Brannigan

Makaveli, in my opinion the demo plays like it's the PS2 if ya get what I mean!

Well I was a Fifa fan up to PES4 then I thought PES 5 on the Xbox was the best around however I then bought my Xbox360 with PES6 and it was crap compared to PES5 on the xbox.

So I swapped to Fifa 07 and thought it was much better first Fifa game I had played in years that was up to the mark I then got the Uefa Champions League which is Fifa 07 with a few tweaks and I was really looking forward to Fifa 08 but the demo didn't impress me at all.

PES 08 demo is much better imo, once you get over the Arcade feel to the menu's and actually play a game it rocks, So its PES 08 for me this year I just hope the online play is better at launch than PES6 was.

I've played both FIFA and PES demos, and have to say, love both of them because they seem like organic developments in their respective series.

The one thing missing about Fifa 07 was the trick movement, the one thing missing about PES was next gen look and feel.

Both solved. Result.

Played it for a good bit over the weekend and I have to say its really impressing me.
As some have said the running looks a bit odd which I think is being sorted.
Playing as Spain most of the time and I was really getting into it and find that its all around better.
I've always been a fan of this over Fifa(Even though I don't play it all that much) and I have to say I doubt I will be dissapointed when its released.

Riesen_Meal

I thought the 1st 2 goes I had were ****e but its always the way with a new pro-evo isnt it?

After a while though I started gettin used to it, the framerate drops something terrible, and it slows down a lot aswell (one thing I thought would be eliminated by now, hopefully coz its a demo?) but otherwise its brilliant, so hard to play 6 after playin it!

haha.

Downloaded and played it for a short time over the weekend.

Meh good game but no massive changes that I've noticed so far, could be different when the full game is released and I play it for a longer time though.
