Exclusive UEFA Champions League License
New to the Pro Evolution Soccer series is an exclusive UEFA Champions League license. The UEFA Champions League is Europe's greatest club competition, and the license means the game will have all the elements and attributes of the Champion League Competition. The Ligue 1 Orange and Eredivisie are both fully licensed, and the England League (Premier League), Italian League (Serie A) and Spanish League (La Liga) are partially licensed. Manchester United and Liverpool are the licensed English clubs in Pro Evolution Soccer 2009.

The UEFA Champions League mode is given a new television-style presentation, where you get dramatic camera angles on replays, videos, and banner ads. Along with the official team names, upgraded graphics, and more life-like player movements, others watching you play might mistake the video game for an actual game on TV.

Become a Legend with New gameplay Mode
The new Become a Legend mode lets you create a player from scratch and focus on the individual player rather than a team. The game lets you customize the player down to the smallest detail, including his free kick run-up and celebration routine. If you use a supported camera, you can even put your face on the player and create team emblems. After you've created your character, the more you practice and play, the more he improves.

After you have a legend you're satisfied with, you can export him to an online legends game with four other players, where you team up and play against computer teams.

Realistic Ball Movement
Balls now move around more realistically thanks to adjustments for friction, air resistance, backspin, and more. This allows for new strategies and techniques such as lifting balls over defenders legs and doing tee shots. Improvements have also been made in passing, and the reactions of your teammates. The upshot is a game that looks and plays more like real life.

With its exclusive UEFA Champions League license and updated ball movement and graphics, Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 will have soccer fans cheering.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - PSP mode
A bit difficult to get use to it. Coming from PC/Xbox, playing the game on PSP is a bit... different. Does keep me busy during my trips tho'.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Konami, I want my money back!
Second season in a row Konami is keep selling us same old product. I'm usually playing Inter (Calcio) here is what I saw in 09 same player movement, same crowd, crowd noise, singing...basically it's an exact copy of 08/07 with different opening. You really have got to have balls to put last year product in a new shrink wrap and sell it to the world as a new product.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Disappointing....really disappointing
I have to say though, this game is a big disappointment. I think the PSP version and in fact PS2 should both be boycotted. I think that way, konami and the makers will learn to come up with something much better. I was really excited when I picked this game this morning, but I have to say my hopes were dashed and deflated as soon as I turned the console on. Same as old versions; same graphics, no commentary which sucks big time. The only new thing about commentary is the single comment made after a goal is scored. If u don't score any goal, u get nothing. I gotta say, I'm really unhappy with the whole thing.
Konami shouldn't charge us money for the same thing every year, under the guise of a new product. Basically, game sucks. I'm thinking of returning it. If they were only going to make a good version for PS3, they shoulda done so, that way pple without PS3 won't get their hopes high.
I'm really disappointed. The whole thing should be overhauled.


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Same old, same old..
I have been a fan of PES games on PSP since 2007 version. I was somewhat happy with that version, the gameplay was fun and felt like soccer. Then I thought 2008 version would be even better. And I was disappointed by that version cause it really felt like PES 2007 and a half.
Well, 2009 version, as many have guessed, is unfortunatelly still the same game from 2007 in terms of graphics, lack of commentary and stadium models. Don't get me wrong the gameplay is still fun and probably still better than FIFA(Played the 08 version) but I really don't understand why Konami is still trying to fool us every coming season with a 'saved as' version of the old PES code with slightly updated(definitely not upgraded) player face graphics and squad kits. Even that pre-match stadium cutscene animation, graphics and sounds are identical to the 2007 version.

The US version says "Authentic Commentary, including Spanish.." on the cover of the box but there is still no commentary in the game! And based on my FIFA PSP experience, I cannot understand why it is a big deal to include commentary or player names into the game. FIFA had a number of different stadiums, all the player names were announced along with the commentary and local leagues with all the teams in there. Looks like PES' outdated code is so bulky and it fills up that UMD space. Definitely this game needs a re-write with optimization and new graphics and more team licences.

I would again say to stick with your 2007 or 2008 version if you have those unless you want the new menu graphics, licenced Premiere League teams and current squads(if you don't really want to take your time to edit)
