Football Manager 2009 is a must-buy!

Advantages: Realistic, great in-depth on players and teams, great gameplay and good graphics, very easy to use
Disadvantages: Crashes occasionally, runs slowly on computers with small memory and power.

In my opinion Football Manager 2009 has lived up to it's repuation as the best football game on the market, and is a true reflection of what a real football magaer goes through. From my point of view the enhancements to this years game has made it a even more enjoyable game to play, such as the revamped match design, and you can easily spend hours on the game without realizing so absorbed you become in the game experience. I think that the only ...
...with the game crashing, which is frusrating when you haven't saved the game for a while and the hours you have spent playing are wasted, computers with more power and memory may run better as the game uses considerable amounts of memory on smaller computers. In summary I believe the game is a must-buy, the experience is great and improved on last years version, despite the slight negatives of the game crashing for myself occasionally, patches can ...

Review of Football Manager 2009 (PC)

I'm afraid you have a serious case of Bloaty Head.

Advantages: Diverse objectives, non-linear, not at all dated, a lot of fun, cheap, relatively simple.
Disadvantages: Similar to a lot of other titles, e.g; Rollercoaster Tycoon, Theme Park, Dungeon Keeper....

...and Electronic Arts (Dead Space, Theme Park.) Theme Hospital is one of the few classic retro PC games that has barely aged at all. The game's objective is to successfully run a successful and economically viable hospital in order to move to a larger hospital before finally completing the game. Sub-objectives include distributing money frugally to fund research, hiring capable staff within a reasonable price range, ensuring that your hospital has ...
...and staff happy, buying and selling plots of land, assigning different handymen to different specialties including machine maintenance, cleaning and watering plants, and ensuring that you run a hygienic and efficient hospital, which will be routinely checked by a VIP. This game is instilled with much of the humour and light-heartedness of most of Bullfrog's titles, as well as being a game which appeals to the more passive gamer. It is available on ...

Review of Theme Hospital (PC)

Wacky Worlds? Must be a pretty boring world....

Advantages: Great addons for RCT2
Disadvantages: Rides are only adaptations. Nothing special.

I bought this game in conjunction with the original RCT2, as I already had RCT1, and wanted to improve on the early simple game. The new version was great, with the ability to create your own park from scratch, which means that your own great creations can me made. But after evaluating what i actually had in the game, it dawned on me how little was improved from the original RCT2. Sure there are the new types of scenery; african, south american, ...
...a bit bland. The pack claims over 50 new ride types. What a load of rubbish. Even if there are 50, most of them are variations of the coaster cars, and are'nt much point at all. Buy it if you are going to get it with RCT2, but if you are buying it seperately, I would'nt bother. Here are the system requirements: YOU MUST HAVE THE ORIGINAL RCT" INSTALLED ON YOUR COMPUTER! Operating System: Windows 98/Me/2000/XP Processor: Pentium II 300MHz or equivilant ...

Review of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2: Wacky Worlds Expansion Pack (PC)

Try to feel like a manager!

Advantages: Quite Addicting - Hard to find other
Disadvantages: Enough bugs

...wothy of the name of Championship Manager. A lot of improvement is needed in order to become better and more enjoyable for the gamer. Longevity: I played CM4 for about 1 month because I had played Championship Manager 01-02 and I had loved. So I played CM4. I do not believe that if I had started playing CM4 for the first time, I could be able to play for more than 2 days. To sum up, I believe that CM4 is no worth playing. One can play CM2 or CM5, ...

Review of Championship Manager 4 (PC)

Divorce time!

Advantages: ---
Disadvantages: ---

...to play a match! Fifa manager seems very similar yet is made simpler and to be honest a bit more child like. This sounds like a bad thing but I enjoy it more. You still get to deal with all the familiars such as team line up, contracts of players and staff, mechandising, sponsorship, construction... On this you even manage you own personal fund and girlfriend :D The game still has depth its just a lot simpler in its nature. On this for instance ...
...minutes to play giving you half time for a chat with the players and for you to make your substitutions. Football manager takes about 10 minutes a game and this gets boring very quickly! I have playedthe game several times now and managed to complete a season in depth in a couple of days (10-15 hours of gameplay) YES IM AN ADDICT! My favourite bit is how when your with the club you start investing their cash. You can build a chip shop for regular ...
