Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review:
In a nutshell:
The biggest name in football management returns for a new season in which it’s suddenly the underdog. Despite giving 110% though it doesn’t quite walk away with the silverware this time.
The biggest name in football management returns for a new season in which it’s suddenly the underdog. Despite giving 110% though it doesn’t quite walk away with the silverware this time.
The lowdown:
Since 1993, the Championship Manager series has been the most popular football management game in the world - for a while it was the best selling PC game of all time in the UK! Ever since original developer Sports Interactive left to work on Football Manager for Sega though it’s never quite been the same. This new version is a definite improvement on last year’s game though, with a brand new interface that’s arguably better than any of its rivals. As well as the new Match Analysis Tool there’s also a new team talk feature and the chance to give individual instructions to specific players. The accuracy of the database of players still doesn’t come close to that of Sports Interactive, but it’s still far from second division.
Most exciting moment:
The new Match Analysis Tool is probably the game’s biggest new feature, with a truck load of statistics to examine at the end of every match, for not just the game itself but every individual player involved. Not all of it is always useful but it certainly does help when deciding what changes to make to your side.
Since you ask:
After Sports Interactive left the series, publisher Eidos set-up their own brand new development studio just to work on the Championship Manager series. Named Beautiful Game Studios, the team is based in Wimbledon with their own in-house research team for player statistics.
The bottom line:
Second best is still good enough.-HARRISON DENT

Fun:
Mind you i've only bought this game 4 hours ago but i've been playing it non-stop since then.
As the previous review stated, the menus have changed and the match games and loading times are quite a bit slower but the main reason for that seems because there's just so much more of the game than previous versions.
You now have oppertunities to hire new assistant managers and coaches, and there are ways of becoming involved on an international level too.
The game itself now has a 3d match engine and you're able to communicate with the entire team and individual players throughout a match.
Overall this game is a vast improvement on the previous versions. Even if it is a bit slower. But who on their right mind would start a game anyway if they only have a minute or two to spare. Put it on in the background!

Fun:
After the magnificent CM for the 2005/06 season, I bought this game expecting much of the same. However, I was instantly disappointed when I started to play on the game to find that the whole layout of the game had been changed, making it much harder to navigate around the menus. This version of CM is also much slower at processing than previous PSP versions. The match engine has also been changed, with the matches now much slower, although a 3D match viewer has been added. Also, on player screens all of the player's stats have now been shown all on one screen, making it look cluttered and confusing to read.
On the other hand, some things have been improved in the game such as the manager coaching badge quiz and the chairman's interview at the beginning of the game, which are nice touches, and also improved media interviews and the addition of team-talks. The game is better than Football Manager 2007 in some ways, such as a bigger database of both English and foreign players. Also, all the teams have the correct staff, and also separate reserve and youth teams, which can help your younger players to develop.
Overall, I have been quite disappointed with both PSP manager games for this season, but I would say if you are looking for fun, buy FM. However, if you have a lot of time on your hands and can work out how to use the new controls, then this could be the game for you. I believe this game could have been so much more, if only they had kept it the same!
