A Launch Title Worth Getting,
Pro Evolution Soccer has always been a favorite sports franchise of mine. While I know many prefer the FIFA series, I’ve always gotten PES. So when I heard that one of the 3DS launch titles was going to be PES2011 I was intrigued but slightly worried. Usually with handheld devices it seems that they get the scaled down, not as fun or deep little brother of the console version. But once I popped in PES2011 I was surprised to say the least. The graphics, both with the 3D and without the 3D, are fantastic. Nintendo has really stepped up when it comes to their games graphical capabilities. The gameplay is smooth as ever although in some spots after you score the framerate can drop slightly. The Analog stick really helps movement and the shooting, passing, and kicking all feel really good.
The 3D does add a ton of depth when playing, making the field seem bigger then it really is, although I will say in really close matches I turned it off so I could focus on the playing and not the visual spectacle that comes from the 3D.
All in all if you love soccer or just want a really well done sports game for the 3DS then you can’t go wrong with PES2011

|My first game since the B&W original gameboy,
All my kids have the DSi XL. I bought my Nintendo 3DS during the midnight opening at Gamestop. The 3DS is for daddy.
I didn’t care for the games that have come out so far except for PES2011 Soccer. I’m only a Mario, Zelda, and sports gamer. I already have SF IV on my iPhone and the graphics on there are really good. The soccer game is amazing! It is much better than FIFA 11. It’s takes a little used to for the controls and 3D (which can be turned off), but I really love the field view of the game! I highly recommend this game. I think it is the best game that launched with the 3DS.
