It looks more and more like the 'reviews' were intended previews/features before the actual review in both magazines' next issues but they stuck a rating on it last minute. None of the reviews are really comprehensive, are they? The OPS2 review had little bodies of text with actual information and nearly everything else was stories of people playing PES or skills. That too, didn't mention the flick up that's exclusive to PES3.
CVG hasn't done a review of PES3 in their latest issue, I understand, so maybe we'll get something better from them.
