Unreal Championship

Advantages: Excellent multiplayer and Xbox Live compatible
Disadvantages: Not so excellent single player

...Powered by an incredible Unreal engine, Unreal Championship roars into life as the first of the Unreal series to appear on the Xbox. And roar into life it does! Plenty of blood, guts and general FPS action to had in this game, which follows the classic Unreal Tournament structure: excellent multiplayer with a single player that looks like it was thrown in as an added extra. PLOT: Next to no plot really. The single player sees you take part in series of battles across the full range of game modes, against opponents of increasing difficulty. Medals can be earned for completing a specific set of battles. The battle modes are: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Survival, Capture the Flag, Bombing Run and Double Domination. Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch are simply what they say on the tin: shoot everyone else to earn points; the fighter...

Review of Unreal Championship (Xbox)

Championship Manager

Advantages: Good game, fun, good value
Disadvantages: Boring after a while

...The Championship Manager series have been by far the best football management games and have provided hours of amusement for footie fans everywhere. Championship Manager 00/01 is very similar to the original Championship Manager though the manager has more control. You can interact with the media, fine players, hire coaches and physios and use many more functions. So if you think you can do better than you’re teams current manager Championship Manager is for you. Championship Manager is very realistic and for wanabee football managers this is the closest they will get to the real thing. You can do all the things club managers can do, buy and loan players, beg the board for more money, apply for different jobs at different clubs and even complain about the ref! Championship Manager 00/01 needs a lot more skill than...

Review of Championship Manager Season 00/01 (PC)

Championship Quality

Advantages: Attention to detail, realism, quality
Disadvantages: can "slow down" at times

...The Championship Manager Saga goes back a long way. A long, long way. To those who are unfamiliar let me begin way back on the Amiga, where many a long hour was spent playing the original from Domark (now published by Eidos). With the collier brothers at the helm a truly absorbing, if not basic management game was evolved. Based more on the realism of the statistics than pretty pictures they had created a game which became the most realistic management simulation available at the time. A decade later, and although the game is now in its 4th incarnation, the premise that Championship Manager (CM) is synonymous with the best management simulation in the business is still as accurate as it ever has been. In fact it has never been more true than with its latest release ? Championship Manager 4. (CM4 from here on in) As many a CM anorak...

Review of Championship Manager 4 (PC)

Championship Manager 01/02

Advantages: The greatest managerial game ever!
Disadvantages: Disadvantages?!

...When the Premiership was born back in 1992, it soon became one of the biggest leagues in the world?then all of a sudden, it gave birth, theoretically, to one of the biggest computer games in the world?that being of course, Championship Manager. Being a student with plenty of time on his hands!! I recently brushed the dirt of this version of the game from the 2001/2002 season from Sports Interactive's Championship Manager series for the PC - argued by many as being one of the best versions, despite it's lack of graphical improvement from the previous season?this time round though the gameplay seems to be better. First off, and something that affects the game most of all, is that Championship Manager 01/02 implements the new regulated EU transfer system, that comes into play about a month after you begin - meaning basically that...

Championship Mania

Advantages: Updateable
Disadvantages: Unrealistic Player Values

...When news of the new Championship Manager came out (Championship Manager 4), I thought I had better get back to playing the older one. With Championship Manager being the greatest managing game series ever, I thought this would be of use to many readers. From the 97/98 Season I have been using Championship Manager. I remember I used to have to play it in MSDOS to get it started. It was slow, had relatively little features and was only had a handful of leagues. In contrast to this today’s new Championship Manager is bright and breezy. There are 26 concurrent leagues. These are English (Premiership, Div1/2/3 + Conference), Argentinean, Australian, Belgium, Brazil, Croatian, Danish, Finnish, French, German (plus regional divisions), Greek, Dutch, Irish, Italian (Serie A/B/C/C2), Japanese, American, Northern Irish, Norwegian...

Championship Manager

Advantages: Great game, lots of detail, quicky than other CM's to play
Disadvantages: lack of natural sunlight and real graphics

...For people who do not know, Championship Manager is a football management simulation. I'll try to tell you what the game is like in my review. ---What is CM2?--- Championship manager is a management simulation of many different football teams, leagues and players, including the Spanish, French, Dutch and English and Scottish leagues. You can also manage international teams but you must prove that you are worthy first. You must control aspects such as the transfers, some elements of financial business, tactics, team selection, watching the match and organising friendlies. CM2 has been around now for about 5-6 years so it is quite old so you will see Gascoigne playing for Rangers and England, and Owen as just a young player for the under 21 England side. ---Graphics--- The graphics on this game are good. That is because there aren...

Review of Championship Manager 2 (PC)

Championship manager 5 was completely ruined by a few bugs.

Advantages: Easy to navigate around the game.
Disadvantages: lots of bugs in the game ruins the enjoyment

...Totally blew my mind for like the first 3 months as i was glued to my pc, however as soon as 1 problem occured it was quickly followed by several more which (in my opinion) made it impossible to play. I am a huge fan of Football management games but championship manager 5 was a huge disappointment for me and a few of my freinds who also purchased the game. The problem with the game is that it is full of 'bugs' by which i mean faults such as after 1 season of winning the treble with Arsenal my fans all hated me and wanted me gone, then when i went to play ac milan in a cup match all my players were for some reason ineligible to play and so the game drafted up players who werent part of my squad to play for me (i lost). For these reasons i felt this game was a let down however do not let this put you off the other games in...

Review of Championship Manager 5 (PC)

world snooker championship 2007 on the xbox 360 great stuff.

Advantages: lots of snooker and pool to play.
Disadvantages: commentary gets repetative after a while.

...i have found world snooker championship 2007 on the xbox 360 to be a fantastic snooker simulation game. the commentary is good and the graphics are excellent and the controls are very straight forward basicly pick up and play. you can create your own character to use which is a good feature as it gives that sense of playing as yourself. the best feature of this game is the new positional play where you get a black circle showing you where the cue ball will most likely end up and making it much easier to plan your next shot, i found this makes the game way better than previous versions. although this has snooker in the title you can also play the pool championship either the 8 ball or 9 ball games are available to play. there is also a trickshot mode to play and online multiplayer mode too, if you like snooker then you will be...

Review of World Snooker Championship 2007 (Xbox 360)

Championship Manager is a real winner

Advantages: Great sense of realism, terrific database size,
Disadvantages: None

...My first championship manager experience came when by chance, i saw championship manager 3 and fell in love immediately, for a couple of years i was addicted to the game. I came across championship manager 03/04 and bought it straight away. The details and database is simply amazing, not to mention the ease of using the menu's, the options, the realism and the overall feel of managing a football club, albeit on your very own PC. Champ Man 03/04 offers a humungous choice of countrys to manage in, from South Africa to South Korea, Scotland to Serbia, Israel to Indonesia, you will never find enough time to manage in each league. Championship manager is the ultimate football managing experience, the transfer system is spot on, with transfer windows, deadlines, negotiations, wheeling, dealing and stealing. Champ Man 03/04 also offers...

Review of Championship Manager: Season 03-04 (PC)

The true Champion of Championship Managers

Advantages: Addictive, Realistic, how long have you got
Disadvantages: Needs so much from the poor computer and can suffer slowdown.

...Well as some of you know, and I'm sure some of you don't that one of my favourite games in the Championship Manager series. These games have been around now for way over a decade and after the humble beginnings on the BBC computer, Amiga and other such models, the latest Championship Manager 4 has just hit the shelves, and I am lucky enough to have got a copy so here goes my review. Championship Manager 4 as with all of the previous games, relies heavily on the accuracy of the statistics rather more than any other feature. As a result, the players are very true to life, the clubs attitudes and staff attitudes also realistic and amazingly so are the smaller details like average crowd figures and the like. As a result, for anyone who is not into this sort of sports sim, then I guess this game isn't for you. For the other 99...
