World Soccer Winning Eleven 8 International (Microsoft Xbox, 2005)

Product Specs

Description

Popular in Europe and Japan (where it's known as Pro Evolution), Konami's World Soccer 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.
