Summary: BEWARE
Review: This game is 10/10 but it is the same exact thing as Pro Evolution Soccer 3, the Eropean Version of the game... so beware this is not a diferent game, it is the same game as PES3, but it is still the greates soccer game in the market but if you own PES3, DO NOT buy this game since it is the same game.

Summary: Best Soccer Simulation but NO WINNING ELEVEN 8!
Review: This game is the same as the European "Pro Evolution Soccer 3" and if you have heard the buzz surrounding that game then you should know that this is really the only soccer game worth buying and probably in the top three sports simulations of all time.
The problem is that Vivendi are too slow in releasing Winning Eleven 9, i.e - Pro Evolution Soccer 4, which has been out for over a month now in Europe so this is both a review for 3 and 4. You should not really get this game and try to get 4 because it is the latest version.
The game has been in development since the Nintendo 64 and is easily the best soccer engine out there. All of the players have full character skins that resemble the players in reality (real moving hair!), except some of the names are not the same because of license issues (don't worry you can edit everything in this game).
Apart from the outstanding game engine (replay mode is almost like real soccer on television) the character animations are intricate and extremely realistic. The players respond to fouls by falling in a multiple number of ways, other players throw their hands up in disgust at missing a goal or crash to their knees in exhaustion. Belt in a goal and watch them do a pile up as the crowd goes wild. Some players even have special moves.
Unlike most of the other soccer games this is a simulation rather than an arcade kick-about so if you are not prepared to spend a few days learning the controls and how to operate the environments, including formations and in-game strategies - you might just want to forget about this one, however this is the domain where the master players live and share memory card saved data with one another. In short soccer freaks the world over either have it, want it or plague the family of someone who has it.
The AI is really what makes Pro Evolution Soccer 3 stand out. It is also like really controlling little men on the pitch... what am I saying... they ARE really little men on the pitch (yes the game IS that good). There are 50 national teams and 60 fake teams. You need to go on the internet to find out who Konami imagined these fake teams to really be so you can edit in the right players names and team names (remember Konami does not have a license for everything so be prepared to do a bit of fiddling, however a huge percentage of the teams and players are already licensed).
There are multiple modes/games to choose from (up to 8 controllers/players can be used with this game) friendly matches, team play, match modes, cup modes, leagues, training simulations, edit modes and a Master League mode, each with several options for the type of game you want to play... there is no shortage of cups to win in this game. When you win about 3 cups you then have enough credits to start team transfers (meaning you can update EVERYTHING in this game to resemble actual football teams) and you can also create your own ALL STARS team.
The bottom line is that the manual for this thing is huge and it is everything you could ever want soccer to be. If there is one soccer game to own for the PS2, then this is it by a long shot. It is a great investment considering how many of your friends will play it to death with you over the many weekends to come.
If you play sport and don't own this game, then what are you waiting for? Just get this game, learn it, read the manual and be the best you can at it. This is the universal PS2 game that everyone who loves soccer plays and a really good dream team effort from Konami... just make sure that you spend your bucks on getting the latest version if you can.

Summary: The Game, NOT the Services!!!
Review: This is a compensatory vote. You people are such complete...I-D-I-O-T-S!!!!!!!!!!!!! What does receiving the wrong game have to do with, 'World Soccer, Winning Eleven 7 International'??? What if you opened a gaming magazine to find a review on this game and some moronic 'reviewer' instead wrote a piece on how much his employer sucked??? Come on, you people!!! Prove to us that freedom CAN work. GEEZ!

Summary: Better than EA FIFA
Review: This is my very first PC soccer/football game and I think it's, it's fun and fantastic. My favorite features are:1) Training mode - you can practice your gameplay before heading out on one of the play modes
2) Edit and create players - put yourself into the game with uber abilities. You can also edit the existing players. My USA Team can hang with the best and finally win the big one.
3) Comp vs Comp - it's like watching a soccer game on the telly. You can let the comp make all the decision or you can just play the manager by selecting formations, strategy, etc and then just watch the action.
4) Master league mode - there's no MLS league here which IMO is a bummer yet I can play the Euro teams I've never heard of. The graphics are very well done and there doesn't appear to be any fps lag at all. Some people have reported problems with game speed, either it's too fast or too slow. Though I have not experience that at all. The gameplay is very smooth and fluidic. I still need to practice passing a lob. It's not as easy as with a FIFA game. It's probably my lack of skills.(...)

Summary: The best PC soccer game up to date
Review: Winning Eleven 7 is the non-European (i.e. North American) release of the newest Japanese soccer simulator. The game is good to the extreme. Graphically; in terms of gameplay; to put it bluntly in all respects, this game is a jewel. I won't ponder too much on graphics and sound... They achieve a high level of quality, without being revolutionary. The players's motion is fluid and realistic. The commentary is somewhat poor, but that is not that much of a dragback, because in such games one swiftly gets tired of the repetitive remarks of the commentators anyway. The gameplay is where this game shines. It is very realistic. Scoring from distance, for example, is hard to do yet doable. The same can be said for scissor kicks, volleys, and other spectacular ways of shooting. The better you get, the cooler the goals you score will become. The learning curve itself is bearable, and besides that the game features a magnificent training mode, in which you can hone your skills to perfection. One more note - WE7 has an excellent physics model. The ball acts realistically, bending and ricocheting just as it should if it were on a real stadium. That said, WE7 is miles ahead of Fifa 2004 in almost all respects. It certainly is the more enjoyable game. I would advise anyone who plays footy games on the PC to get this one. It is worth it.
