See moreThe Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (PES 2008) is an association football video game developed and published by Konami. It was officially announced on 18 June 2007. It is also known as Winning Eleven Play Maker 2008 in Japan.
The Wii version is very different form the other versions as it was devloped by a different tem in Konami that focused on taking advantage of the unique features of the Wii Remote. The gameplay is centered on pointing the Wii Remote at the screen and directing players by dragging them with the on-screen cursor, and passing is done by pointing to the desired space or player and pressing a button. This allows for a more tactical approach to the game, and players can move the on-screen player in virtually any direction, allowing for more tactics and maneuvers to be used. Players can defend by pointing the cursor at the ball holder to chase him, and they may tackle or slide tackle in an attempt to win the ball. In addition to this, it is also possible to instruct defenders to mark opposing players, intercept passes and drag defenders into space. The game has three modes: single player, multiplayer and online multiplayer. The Wii version offers players 30 stadiums to choose from in its Match Mode. Friendly matches can be played with up to two players against each other. When using the Champions Road Mode, users can select what abilities their players acquire when they gain enough experience to level-up. Besides that, there is the Mii Mode where players can play friendly matches. During these matches, players have comically large heads, including the non-Mii players. Only the referee and the linesmen appear normal. This feature has to be unlocked. Furthermore, the PES 2008 features a 1 versus 1 online mode, where players can either play against random opponents or online friends. It is also possible to send the current Champions Road team to friends via WiiConnect24 to play ‘invitational matches’.

N-Europe's Mark Lee and Adam Ducker both weigh in their opinions on the Wii version of Pro Evo 2008 ! First off, it's Mark: Read more
All things considered, PES 2008 is a fine addition to the Wii and certainly the most innovative football title we've come across in many years. The wonderfully intuitive control system makes it feel like a different game altogether, and certainly not the tired port many feared it would end up being. Setting aside some slight issues with the defensive aspect, what's on offer here is an excellently free-flowing game of football. It's well worth buying, even if you own it... Read more
