World Soccer Winning Eleven 8 International (Sony PlayStation 2, 2005)

Product Specs

Description

Popular in Europe and Japan (where it's known as Pro Evolution), Konami's World Soccer: Winning Eleven series boasts intensely realistic action on the pitch, where gamers must employ the strategies, tactics, and maneuvers of real-world professional soccer to score and win. This year's entry offers new free kick techniques, designed to offer more options in penalty situations, and a new dribbling system can be used by expert players to take more control of the ball in one-on-one and passing situations. Like its predecessors, World Soccer Winning Eleven 8 does not feature real-world teams or players (Electronic Arts holds the exclusive FIFA license), but it does offer extensive customization options, allowing gamers to set up clubs and leagues that simulate their real-life favorites, or to create more imaginative fantasy teams and tournaments. The series first came to 128-bit North American consoles in 2003 with World Soccer Winning Eleven 6 for PS2; 2005's Winning Eleven 8 is the first edition also available for Xbox.
