Although FIFA Football 2004 outsold every other game last year in the UK, each edition of PES is traditionally celebrated to a far greater extent by commentators on its native PS2 format. And while the most recent clash of PES and FIFA may have gone EA Sports' way in a commercial sense, critically - and amongst industry football fans, we should perhaps note - PES typically rules the roost.

And if you're one of the FIFA faithful, we'd be doing you a disservice if we didn't point out that there's never been a better time to switch teams.

All in all, WSWE7I is superb, the best of the bunch. And while it still has a ways to go feature-wise (if you compare it to the latest FIFA), the gameplay is still the best in the business.

So if you missed last years debut and have thought to yourself, FIFA, what have you done to my game? Then you owe yourself to play WE 7. It is the best of the best in the soccer world of.

Let’s cut straight to the chase – Winning Eleven 7 International is the best soccer game on the market. Period.

When it comes to a true soccer simulation, Winning Eleven has always been the critics' choice, and with this latest outing nothing has changed. Except for the better. To put it simply, it plays and feels like the real thing.
