Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 3D - Nintendo 3DS

My 3DS has my time totaled at nearly 20 hours with PES 2011 3DS, and while I would have liked some scenario modes and some US clubs, I can find little to fault. The 4 modes on offer are basic exhibition which allows some international squads, UEFA Championship, Master League (Franchise mode), and Street Pass play which allows you to use your team from ML locally while unlocking classic/hidden players. The default camera mode is Player perspective, and while it shows off the 3D (which is sharp and stunning in its sweet spot) can leave your head dizzy from the swirling camera as well. I found that a great place to start for learning the controls is Amateur mode with camera set to wide you will be able to read the moves of AI teammates much more clearly with its horizontal camera as well as learn the necessity of the cross/center pass, however players are small and the 3D effect is less pronounced. I was happy to find the controls are more similar to FIFA than I was expecting, but there are numerous feint techniques etc for the player looking for depth to control that are unique to this title. The only issue control wise is that shots/crosses require a really quick tap as any kind of press harder will result in glaringly high or wide blast from your striker most often. Most soccer titles mirror this though but it seems accentuated in this game. The edit mode allows for player, stadium and tournament NAME only re-editing but player attributes can also be tweaked. The graphics represent player movements and real life images to a surprising degree, MESSI really feels and plays like MESSI for example. Menus and options are all clear and the touch screen strategy switching is easy to set and utilize as are formations. The commentary is a bonus for a portable and the sound on surround really gives some depth and space to the audio in the stadiums. Without a doubt the 3D visuals set this game apart and will most likely become a standard for the genre going forward.

This is a well done soccer game. I think the graphics could have been better (the 3D effect is decent though) and it could have had a better tutorial system and more fleshed out modes. Overall, though, the gameplay is well done and fun. If you get it at the right price, you can't go wrong.

You want a great soccer game for the 3DS on the cheap? This is the game but I would suggest you play it in 2D and then it will look great and there is no lag and it even has commentary. My only complaint is that Arsenal is not included.

i'm a great fan of we or in this present time pes, so i could say this version is a good game, konami could do it better like the others versions of the other gameconsoles but the game modes makes this game too short and the replay value was no taken in his development, is like experimental demo pes 2011 or game forced for the launching system. Konami needs to pulls the version pes 2012 exploiting the unique features of the 3ds like edit players using camera or photos.Pro:awesome graphics with enhaced 3d feature, make a exquiste vision of the stadium and players.a special camera view for the 3d effect.Con:cannot create or edit players faces, points, etc.cannot play onlinecannot save replaysthe master league mode is totally different of the others versions.not include cup or leagues modes (like copa santander libertadores) and other club teams.

I do not recommend for even fair price. The controls are complicated, hours of play to make only one goal and lose. Only thing I liked was the 3D effects. But not even that gets it a two star rating.

My son loves all sports games, but this one just isn't very good. It is confusing and there isn't really a fun factor to it. I think I have seen him play it twice since he has had it. I wish there were more soccer games out there for the DS

I purchased PES 2011 3DS alongside SSIV for my 3DS , and i have to say that it is by far the better of the two. There are several modes to enjoy like the UEFA Cup or the Master League. Obviously there is also exhibition mode. The teams are all as they are supposed to be ( right player names and etc.). The 3D effect was simply breathtaking . The graphics were nearly unbelievable for a DS. I really enjoyed this game and can see myself easily putting in 40 hours into it. This is a must-by for the 3DS

I own 6 launch games and while I enjoy them all, PES has far and away the best 3D effects of any of the games, Street Fighter IV included (wish is amazing as well). As another reviewer mentioned, the flight of the ball is simply incredible. Plus the multiple viewing angles serve as in a sense different demos on the 3D capabilities of the system. Add to that very crisp controls and silky smooth frame rate and you have a must own game even if not a true soccer fan, which i am really not myself.
