The ISS series first began on the SNES in 1994, called Perfect Eleven in Japan and International Superstar Soccer (ISS) in Europe. There was a football game made by Konami, called Konami Hyper Soccer, possibly laid the basis for the ISS series, but ISS began on the SNES. Right from the start the ISS series put itself apart from the likes of Striker, Kick Off and FIFA, ISS had a far superior passing system and put a side the usual scoring methods which FIFA and the like relied upon.
A year later ISS Deluxe was released on the SNES, named Fighting Eleven in Japan. In 1996 a Megadrive version of ISS Deluxe was released. This was the first ISS game to allow 8 players to play simultaneously.Next came the Playstation era, Winning Eleven was released 1996/97 and was known as Goal Storm in the Western World. Shortly after ISS Deluxe was revamped from the 16 bit version to the 32 bit generation. Winning Eleven 97 or Goal Storm 97 was released around the same time as ISS Deluxe but with only minor improvements on the original ISS Deluxe was the favourite. Meanwhile ISS 64 was produced for the Nintendo 64, a 3D upgrade of the SNES version. In 1997 Australia was the first to get the Western version of ISS 64. The Playstation version, ISS Pro was the first developed by KCET and was poor in comparison to the N64 counterpart.In 1998 ISS 98 was released on the N64, much improved from ISS 64 with all the bugs ironed out it produced a far more balanced game. ISS 98 is probably one of the most memorable games of the series, one which can take most the credit for bringing players to the series.On the Playstation the equivalent ISS 98 was known as ISS Pro 98, developed by KCET whereas the N64 versions were developed by KCEO, different teams within Konami, Tokyo and Osaka. ISS Pro 98 was a vast improvement on the first Playstation title but not quite up to its N64 counterpart.In 2000 Playstation owners get ISS Pro Evolution, based in Japan's Winning Eleven 4. Later 2000 the N64 market gets ISS 2000 which was a delayed version of Perfect Stiker 2 from Japan.2000 also saw the launch of PS2 and in November of that year Europe and Australia got ISS on the PS2. 2001 sees the release of the sequel to ISS on the PS2, known as Pro Evolution Soccer.
PES was an updated version of the Japanese Winning Eleven 5. Konami now produce two different styles of football game, ISS developed by KCEO and ISS Pro now more popularly known as Winning Eleven/Pro Evolution Soccer developed by KCET. This is where many agree that Pro Evolution Soccer takes on the baton from ISS. ISS games continue to be produced but they are regarded to be in Pro Evo's shadow. ISS games are still produced for the latest consoles, 2003 saw the release of ISS3.In 2002 Winning Eleven 6 arrives in Japan and as the European market becomes accustomed to Pro Evolution Soccer 2 arrives a couple of months later on. PES 2 is a slightly tweaked version of WE6. After the release of PES2 in Europe Winning Eleven 6 Final Evolution arrives in Japan, which is a tweaked version of PES2. August 2003 sees the release of Winning Eleven 7 in Japan and a couple of months later Pro Evolution Soccer 3 is released in Europe. Then as before after PES3 Japan receives WE7I early in 2004 which includes the improvements made in PES3 with a few minor extras for the Japanese markets.August 2004 is the time that Winning Eleven 8 arrives in Japan, Pro Evolution Soccer 4 arrives a couple of months later. As before there is a WE8I for the Japanese market in early 2005, although this time round saw Winning Eleven 8 Liveware Evolution. A title developed to feature online game play for the PS2, it was only available in Japan and was used to test online play for the PS2.
PES5 was released in late 2005 and did indeed make used of the online capabilities of the PS2.PES6 was the last edition of the game to be released on the current generation consoles, and featured many more licenses than previous editions. The game engine (specifically passing) was tweaked to improve gameplay still further, and online play was a much more enjoyable experience due to less lag. The game also had a rather underwhelming port to xbox 360 where Konami struggled to get to grips with the next-gen software. The lack of a decent edit mode was a particular cause for concern for PES enthusiasts playing the xbox.A change of name for the series sees it move onto the next-gen consoles for Pro Evolution Soccer 2008. The game is hotly anticipated, and with new features like importing face and kits as well as even better gameplay and a revamped Master League mode, it promises to be the best title yet. The game is essentially identical in its PC, PS3 and 360 formats, but a slightly watered down PS2 version will also be released to accomodate those fans still playing on Sony's old console.

Here some version of this game :
Pro Evolution Soccer 1_Pro Evolution SoccerThe first "true" Pro Evolution Soccer (Winning Eleven 5) game was released in October 2001 for both PlayStation and PlayStation 2.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2Pro Evolution Soccer 2 (Winning Eleven 6 in Japan and World Soccer Winning Eleven 6 in the US) was released in October 2002 and some felt that it was a slight backwards step from the original Pro Evolution Soccer. Others opined that it had improved. The pace of gameplay was much faster than in the game's older sibling, with sharper turns and quicker reactions to tackles. It also included a training session mode. Extra clubs were added, with an extra Master League division. There were two new commentators, Peter Brackley and Trevor Brooking, but this aspect of the game was criticised for the commentators' inaccuracies and tendency to speak over each other. The licensing was much the same, but infamously all Dutch players were called ‘Oranges’, because Konami did not hold the rights from the Royal Netherlands Football Association, for use from Dutch players. Also, unlike in the original game, the "unofficial" club names stopped using obvious city names (eg. Manchester United was Manchester in PES1, Real Madrid was Madrid etc.), and instead used very ambiguous names (e.g. Manchester United were now Aragon, Liverpool became Europort and West Ham became Lake District). The edit mode included a club editor which offset this problem to some extent, with editable kits and logos as well as club and player names. The game notably included tracks from Queen: "We Will Rock You" and "We are the Champions". A PlayStation version was also released, which was again a minor update of its predecessor, and was the last Pro Evolution Soccer release for the original PlayStation.
Pro Evolution Soccer 3Pro Evolution Soccer 3 (Winning Eleven 7 in Japan and World Soccer Winning Eleven 7 in the US) was released in 2003, and featured the Italian referee Pierluigi Collina on the cover (although bizarrely he is not present as an in-game referee). The most significant update was the overhaul in the graphics engine, with more life like players and much improved likeness. The gameplay was changed to accompany this, with more fast-paced action than that of PES2, a much better physics engine, additions such as the advantage rule improved passing and long-ball functions, while as per usual, more licenses (with the infamous Dutch Oranges removed, replaced with pseudonyms such as "Froibaad" in the place of Kluivert), more club teams and the Master League is now split into regional divisions, with competitions equivalent to the Champions League and the UEFA Cup and as Umbro was no longer revived, the company has been replaced by Adidas.Pro Evolution Soccer 3 was the first in the series to be released for Microsoft Windows and was well received by the PC games magazines but criticized by fans for its lack of online mode and bloated system requirements at its time, particularly not supporting the common Geforce MX series. It's rival, FIFA 2004, had online functions and had more modest system requirements in comparison. The game was essentially a direct conversion of the PlayStation 2 code, albeit with sharper graphics and is easier to download fan made mods for the game.
Pro Evolution Soccer 4Pro Evolution Soccer 4 (Winning Eleven 8 in Japan and World Soccer Winning Eleven 8 in the US) was released in 2004; featuring referee Pierluigi Collina, Thierry Henry and Francesco Totti on the cover. This is the first Pro Evolution Soccer game to feature full leagues, namely the English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Dutch top divisions, though with full league licenses only for the latter three. As a result, clubs in, for example, the English League, an unlicensed league, have ambiguous names like "West London Blue" and "Man Red" for Chelsea and Manchester United respectively, and their home grounds Stamford Bridge and Old Trafford are respectively named "Blue Bridge" and "Trad Brick Stadium".The gameplay has improved from Pro Evolution Soccer 3, (though not as much of a significant leap as its predecessor) with improved AI, tweaked play-on advantages and better throughballs. Dribbling is tighter with the players (though at one-star difficulty, a player receiving the ball on either wing can dribble the ball down the length of the pitch relatively uncontested), plus free-kicks have been changed to allow lay-offs. The gameplay was criticized for its relatively easy scoring opportunities, as players can pass their way through opposing defenses, or hold on to the ball at the edge of the penalty area and simply wait for the opposing defenders to move away and thus give him space to shoot. A new 6-star difficulty was added as an unlockable in the shop, as well as the previous items, while the Master League included enhancements such as player development, so many players over 30 would see certain attributes decline as the game progresses. Conversely, players could improve upon their attributes up to the age of 24-25, though the improvement is most rapid and obvious in players aged 22 and under.The edit mode has been enhanced rapidly, with the options to add text and logos to shirts (essentially sponsors) and pixel logo editing as well as the traditional preset shapes, thus making it easier to replicate a team. The game also includes an "International Cup" and four regional Cups:The "European Cup" is remarkably inclusive, including almost every major European country, as well as smaller countries like Slovenia, Hungary, and Slovakia. However, countries like Israel and Iceland are not included. It also includes a Yugoslavia team; in real life, Yugoslavia no longer exists, having been dissolved and replaced by two new independent states, Serbia and Montenegro. The Czech Republic team is simply called "Czech".The "American Championship" is a merger of the CONCACAF Gold Cup and the Copa América. It includes most North, Central and South American countries.The "Asia-Oceania Cup" includes only five Asian countries, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, China, and South Korea, plus Australia. Ironically, in real life, Australia has joined the Asian Football Confederation, and now competes in the AFC Asian Cup. South Korea is simply called "Korea".
Pro Evolution Soccer 5Main article: Pro Evolution Soccer 5Pro Evolution Soccer 5 (Winning Eleven 9 in Japan and World Soccer Winning Eleven 9 in the US) was released in October 2005 and featured John Terry and Thierry Henry on the cover. The improvements are mainly tweaks to the gameplay engine, while online play finally made it to the PlayStation 2 version. The game was perceived as much harder by fans, with a very punishing defense AI making it harder to score. Some players have pointed out inconsistencies in the star difficulty rating, such as 3 star mode being harder to beat than 6 star due to its more defensive nature, but in general scoring is harder. Referees are very fussy over decisions, awarding free kicks for very negligible challenges. There are various new club licenses present, including Arsenal, Chelsea, Celtic, Rangers and a few other European clubs, as well as the full Dutch, Spanish and Italian Leagues. Pro Evolution Soccer 5 was victim of the infamous empty stadium glitch, in which when playing a game, no crowds are present in the stands although they are present during cut-scenes. There are fan-made mods which address this in the PC version, although no official patch was released. Official PlayStation 2 Magazine UK gave it a perfect 10/10 score.Pro Evolution Soccer 5 was released for Xbox, Windows and PS2, all online enabled. A PSP version was released, but with stripped down features, such as no Master League, no commentary, only one stadium and limitations in the editor, and that's also because of the limitations to the UMD. The PSP version featured Wi-fi play, and the gameplay was faster and more "pin-ball like" in comparison to its console siblings, but it did not receive the same acclaim as the mainstream console/PC versions.
Pro Evolution Soccer 6Main article: Pro Evolution Soccer 6Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (Winning Eleven 10 in Japan and Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 in the US) was officially released in the UK on October 27, 2006 for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Xbox 360 and PC platforms and on February 9, 2007 for the Nintendo DS. The PC version does not utilize the Xbox 360 engine but is a conversion of the PS2 edition. The PSP version is similar in many ways to its PS2 brother, while the DS version has graphics and gameplay reminiscent of the older PES series on the Playstation.A criticism of the previous version was that the game was too unforgiving and so suppressed fluid attacking football. Pro Evolution Soccer 6 was issued with more tricks and an overall more attacking mentality, but whether it does make it easier to take on defenders and get forward is debatable.More licenses were added, including fully licensed international kits including the nations England, Spain and Italy to name a few (as well as the ever present Japan license). The French Ligue 1 is now included as fully licensed league, as well as the Spanish, Italian and Dutch leagues, plus several other individual clubs. However, the Chelsea F.C. license from PES5 was removed and, due to a lawsuit, Konami were forced to drop the Bundesliga license. The only Bundesliga team to appear in the game is FC Bayern München. The game had not updated Arsenal's venue to the Emirates stadium; the defunct Highbury is still present. The same applies for Bayern München, who, despite having moved to the Allianz Arena, are still represented in the game as playing at Munich's Olympic Stadium. Also, the recent extensions to Old Trafford are not included, while Serbia and Montenegro are still present despite the dissolution of the country in May 2006.The Xbox 360 version features next-generation, Hi-Definition graphics and more animations, but gameplay similar to the other console versions, according to a recent interview with Seabass. The Xbox 360 version also finally introduces the Pro Evolution series to widescreen gaming, a feature that was sorely missing from its PS2 and Xbox versions of the game. Much of the gameplay and editing options have been severely stripped down for the 360 release.Pro Evolution Soccer 2008Main article: Pro Evolution Soccer 2008The most recent title in the series is Pro Evolution Soccer 2008. The game cover features Cristiano Ronaldo and a local player (Michael Owen in the UK, Didier Drogba in France, Jan Schlaudraff in Germany, Gianluigi Buffon in Italy, Lucas Neill in Australia). A new adaptive AI system entitled 'Teamvision' will be implemented into the game, Teamvision is a sophisticated AI programming that learns and adapts according to an individual's style of play. As such, it will learn new ways to build attacks and to counter specific movements and previous attacking or defensive errors, ensuring games are more in line with the tactical but flowing nature of the real thing.The game was released for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2 on October 26, 2007 in Europe, November 2, 2007 in Australia, and December 31, 2007 in Japan. The PlayStation Portable and Nintendo DS version were released in November, and the rather different Wii version. Pro Evo Wii was released in March 2008. It was the first game in the series to drop the Winning Eleven name from its title in the US.20 teams are also in the D1 and D2 Leagues, four more than in past editions.The game's 'in-game editor' however was a large downgrade from previous versions, with players unable to add text to unlicensed team shirts or base copy specific players.Pro Evolution Soccer 2009Main article: Pro Evolution Soccer 2009Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 has been confirmed for release in Autumn 2008. Lionel Messi has been confirmed as the cover star for PES 2009.Konami have also reportedly acquired the UEFA licence for their games in the future which will include the champions league where EPL teams will be licenced. Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 will apparently feature the champions league however this is yet to be confirmed. The Pro Evolution Soccer World Champion, Billy Gunn, will be the first to try out the new game in september.
