Soccer simulations really aren’t my thing, but what’s here is perfectly suited for those who love them.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 3D is an adaptation of the PSP version, itself a continuation of the last generation PlayStation 2 PES games. From what I gather, the PES games on the PlayStation 2 are some of the favorites of the soccer sim community, thus making this 3DS adaptation a continuation of the better games of the series… with 3D. I’m not fully versed with said games, but I can say that PES 2011 3D provides an extremely deep soccer simulation that clearly caters to hardcore fans of the sport. This isn’t entirely appealing to me, due in part to the aggressive, nearly insurmountable AI (for a beginner) and my general disinterest in the sport. However, the game is occasionally enjoyable and with some of the best stereoscopic 3D of the launch 3DS titles, it does a great job of validating how great the 3D effect actually is.
