Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 brings Konami's football franchise back for another year.
Pro
Evolution Soccer 2013 is the latest version of Konami's popular soccer
game for Windows. Although PES 2013 looks very similar to Pro Evoultion
Soccer 2012, it includes some subtle changes designed to improved both
gameplay and graphics.
The
gameplay in Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 is more manual than the previous
version, making it more like a proper soccer simulation, rather than the
arcade-style action of PES 2012. Though some elements seem to be
heavily inspired by FIFA 12, this is no bad thing.
Pro
Evolution Soccer 2013 focuses on improving player likenesses so that
players in the game behave like their real life counterparts - a system
dubbed as 'PlayerID' by the developer. Famous players will run, turn,
trap, move the ball and even celebrate like they do in real life.
In
terms of player likenesses, PES 2013 is the closest to reality we've
seen from a soccer game - better even than FIFA 12. The graphics as a
whole in Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 are fantastic, from the slick team
entrances to the detail of the kits and footwear.
Unfortunately,
player animation in Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 is patchy in places. The
way players turn feels clunky and unrealistic and goalkeeper throw-outs
are laughably exaggerated and jerky. In fact, the supposed improvements
to the goalkeepers from the previous version seem to have not worked at
all - actually goalies seem more calamitous than ever!
The
Player Impact engine in Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 is quite impressive;
you notice how players hang into each other and how that influences your
(freedom of) movement. However, it still lags behind FIFA's engine in
terms of the extent of the collision animations.
Pro
Evolution Soccer 2013 is a good quality soccer sim which looks great
and now gives you more control than ever over the gameplay.
