![]() ![]() Your teammates make runs at just the right time, meaning creating chances comes from holding possession until you spot them in open space. Matches feel slow compared to the likes of FIFA 10 or X2 Football 2010, but they're never short on action because the AI is the best yet seen on iPhone. On the pitch, PES 2010 is very much a thinking man's game. This is a game with high standards, and the impression is only strengthened by the matches themselves. ![]() Nevertheless, the fact that such care has been paid to controls that could easily have been strapped on as a gimmick shows the level of care invested into PES 2010 as a whole. However, defending can become difficult because it's hard to see what's going on when the screen is tilted to and fro. ![]() When in possession, this works especially well: dribbles into the box past two or three defenders are commonplace. The one touch passes are thankfully retained here, with all other movement handled by tilting the device in the direction of your choosing. The game handles your inputs similarly when out of possession, though full-on tackles are usually only triggered when your player is in a position to do so without chopping his opponent's limbs off as a result.Įven the accelerometer setup – which, admittedly, takes some getting used to – has its strengths, turning what is otherwise a passer's paradise into a battle of the long, winding runs. Conversely, holding a finger to the screen results in a shot - a power bar pops up at the bottom letting you know just when you should let go. Short touches instigate passes when you're in possession. The analogue stick remains, but all other actions are triggered by taps made elsewhere on the screen. It's the one touch setup, however, that impresses the most. No doubt it'll be familiar if you've tackled football on iPhone before. The default setup has you take charge using a virtual analogue stick on the left, and two buttons on the right for passing, shooting, pressurising, and tackling. Its greater ambition is best highlighted by the sheer proficiency of its three – yes, three – control methods. Perhaps for the first time, PES 2010 feels less like a football game for iPhone and more like a bonafide football game. It's a pleasure to report, thankfully, that there's a palpable sense throughout PES 2010 that Konami, rather than stalling its release, has simply been working from a more ambitious blueprint than its rivals. If you've been lusting after Pro Evolution's iPhone debut, you've assuredly been hoping it's been worth the wait. ![]()
