Nintendo's Wiimote-driven motion controls offer plenty of potential, if a developer is willing to explore the idea. Which is why this video, while showing the same game we all know and love in PES 2008, illustrates an experience you've never had from any football game before.

In fact, the amazing possibilities might even ruin every other version of Konami's beautiful game...
