LMA Manager 2007 (Xbox 360)

**This review is also on dooyoo.co.uk by Honest-Dan**

I believe game consoles are always going to struggle when it comes to creating a football management game, On saying that this is a good attempt, it is just lacking in depth and realism which is understandable.

I feel the game's interface is perfect and so easy to navigate to your desired area, it doesn't try to overcomplicate, which, to me means this would be ideal for someone who hasn't played management games before as this would be a good first step to start with before moving onto a more complex management sim.

Match mode:
Matches can be skipped to an instant result or watched in 3D, the 3D match engine does get quite repetitive after a while and in my opinion needs some work within a few areas of it, such as Player's AI.

Football One:
This is basically a news centre but it is a nice touch to the game, has plenty of information regarding transfers, results and league tables. Also has newflashes which are in 3D usually based around transfers, new managers and awards.

One of the best features to this game is the ability to create your own fantasy football club which you can use in any of the playable leagues, you choose the team name, colours and create your squad via a fantasy type format were basically you have a budget to spend on whichever players you feel.

Overall
I'd imagine the more experienced players of this genre will probably give it a miss due to lack of depth and options but for someone looking to give it a go for the first time it's a nice introduction to these types of games. Personally I think it's still a decent game and very playable it's just a shame certain features let it down overall.
