Championship Manager 3 (PC)

Do you love football? Do you wanna be the manager of your team? If the answer is no, then why are you reading this review, because this is the best football managment game ever made-and thats it, its a footy managment game, nothin more. You get to be the boss of any team practically in the world, all the players are genuine and the details of all the clubs too. There are so many statistics in this game that youd have thought compiling them all together to make a game would have been an impossible task, so for that alone, the game becomes great.

This game when it was released was by far the best football managment simulation in the world. Forget fancy match graphics who needs them, football managment games are about stats & this game has them all. With a number of different leagues that you can play in it offers you the best insight into what being a football manager is like. It doesn't however come up as good as the soon after released 99/00 edition that added some much needed new features such as players going AWOL. Come on EIDOS why put this out on the market then release 99/00 a much tidied up version a few months later. All in all a good game but why buy this when you can buy the updated ...  Read the complete review

The 99/00 edition has a few extra features also on top of the standard CM3 edition, including the ability to fine players, players having more input to you as manager about their present feelings and also the ability for players to do a 'Pierre Van Hooijdonk' and go AWOL if you do things like reject them a transfer. There is such an addictive element to this game. I find though that I very much play it in fits and starts.

This has to be the greatest game ever made for the PC, (especially if you are a soccer fan) I can honestly say that I once stayed up all night playing this game it is so addictive, and I must have been sacked at least 3 times ( never could quite get Carlisle United into the Premiership) Mind you neither could Michael Knighton, and he has more money than me. Seriously though this game is World Class, the Pele or George Best of management sims, you will sit riveted for hours watching the gameplay (although text based) just hoping that you can pull off that elusive win agains't Man Utd,( only ever done that once). 11/10 for overall addictiveness and sheer ...  Read the complete review
