Soccer is a game that is at home in the hearts of millions of fans around the world. For football loving people, it is sometimes hard to imagine life without their favorite sport. Leading its league in global recreational games, soccer lovers storm various stadiums week after week from England to Spain, across all the continents of mother earth.
Over the years, video game manufacturers have sincerely tried to provide the growing base of soccer fans with an experience similar to that of the pitch. Although no one has achieved it one hundred percent, Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 is unique in this regard.
Made by Japan-based Konami, the game makes up in gameplay for what it lacks in licensing. I do have some downsides, but all of that pales in comparison to its pros.
Some of the advantages that the game has over its peers,
• There is no time lag between when you press a button and when you see the effect on the screen, which is great, especially if you are down one goal and time is running out and you have a chance to shoot .
• Has a more realistic feel as the computer players actually make blunders unlike other games where the computer players are ‘perfect out of this world’.
• Comes with a feature that allows you to direct the ball where you want, depending on the position of your player, unlike other games where you only move up and down, left and right.
• The real game is very similar to the real thing, with player-specific celebrations after goals, similar to what you can get on the pitch.
• It has the UEFA Champions League license.
The skill set of the person in control affects the overall experience of the game, so Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 comes with tutorials to help you get the most out of the game. This is not a PES exclusive feature, but it enhances the overall user experience.
Concerns about the lack of a FIFA license are handled by editing player names, kits, stadiums, etc. This, along with the superior gaming experience it provides, make for an excellent combination. PES 2013 is compatible with all major game consoles including but not limited to PS3, XBOX 360 etc.
All I’ve jotted down are just a few high and low points of PES 2013 in an effort to help you get to know the game better. It has my recommendations if you are considering including it in your game chest; Go ahead bring the pitch into your living room.
