Football Manager Handheld 2009 (PSP)

FOOTBALL MANAGER 2009 (PSP) A long time ago (1992 to be precise) in a bedroom far, far away, sat a geeky football loving goof who, when not outdoors kicking a football about (surprisingly for a geek he was also frigging awesome at football), they were sat on their Amiga 600 being wowed by either the greatest football game ever made - Sensible Soccer - or the beginnings of an otherwise humble football management simulator. Little more than a text database with no discernable graphics or sound, Championship Manager did feature an addictiveness only previously matched by the e-numbers found in a packet of Skittles.

I'm a man (allegedly!!), I'm 27 years old and I know that 10-15 years ago a large chunk of my days were spent playing the Championship Manager series on our old PC.

There is not a football game at all that is better than the Football Manager series. There are a few slight differences beetween the PC version and the PSP version. 1. On the PSP version there are fewer leagues and countries to choose from .eg. on the PC version there is the blue square north and south leagues. But that does not matter really. 2. The PSP version has a 2D match engine compared to the 3D match engine of the PC version. And they are basically all there is different. The new features on this 2009 version on the PSP is throughout your career you are allowed to manage different clubs from different countries unlike the previous games where you have ...  Read the complete review
