One thing I noticed straight from the off was the sheer detail in the stadiums and pitches. No more long waiting times it's pretty much tap one button and you are surrounded in the stadium aura. I wanted to get into a game straight away so I booted up a match within seconds using the exhibition mode. Most of the older games fell into the same trend of keeping the same boring text and menu setup but this simply isn't the case for 2011. The menus, the music and all the other visuals have been re-vamped. Just booting up the game gives you a sense of how much has changed. However, if you want fluidity and how Konami call it: 'Engineered for Freedom', then you won't be disappointed. You will never get the atmosphere, the excitement or the mud that you do with the real beautiful game. Let's be honest here, football games are never, ever going to be remotely realistic unless they come bundled with a strip of turf. This year, as much as I love PES I played the newest game level minded, no bias and this year I can assure you, although it's not flawless it sure isn't terrible. I gave PES 2010 a ludicrously high score and I've regretted it ever since. However, if you based your opinions of the game by my review then are probably thinking I'm a hypocrite. The controls were stodgy, the animations were jagged and it felt out-dated in comparison to Fifa. Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 was a shambles.

They told us it would be good, they said it would be revolutionary but it was all false hope.
