Championship Manager 2 (PC)

What a game!, Championship Manager 2 must be the best football management game ever made. This game was so addictive, that during the period when I first got this game, if I was on the computer then it was only to do one thing...play CM2. I am sure that I must have broken the world record for the most hours spent on a game.

The game itself is a turned-based game, where the days go by and the games also fly by. This is in contrast to CM3, where it seems to take a lot longer for the next game to arrive. As manager of your favourite football club, you are incharge of all tactics, signings, squad selections etc.

When matchday actually arrives, you make team selection from the squad setup and then proceed to the game itself. Although there are no flashy graphics such as 3d renderd players, you are presented with commentary which appears in a bar. You can speed up the game by pressing the spacebar key, also tactics can be changed at any point in the game. Sounds such as crowd cheers and commentary is also available in this game.

I would definetly reccommend this game to anyone who enjoys football or management games.
