Championship Manager: Season 01/02 (PC CD)

Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
It's perhaps unsurprising to kick off a review of Championship Manager Season 03/04 by instantly declaring it to be the finest football-management game on the planet. But, frankly, it is, and this latest seasonal update improves the game still further.

The objective is still the same. Taking charge of your team of choice, you're charged with meeting the expectations of the team's supporters and directors, while balancing the books, the highs and lows of your playing staff and hopefully winning a few games into the bargain. Plus trying to hang on to your job, of course.

What's always lifted the Championship Manager games well ahead of their rivals, many of whom deliver the same basic setup as above, are two factors. The first is depth. The sheer weight of statistics and complications you need to consider are both staggering and engrossing in equal measure. But that's when the second key factor kicks in: accessibility. With a finely tuned user interface, this is a desperately easy game to get into, albeit packed with an immense and highly addictive long term challenge. It's a real achievement that the player is rarely left stuck and bewildered by the wealth of information they're presented with.

This new version brings a few extra goodies into play as well, alongside a much-needed polish and tidy-up. Goal of the month and season competitions are incorporated for instance, along with live cup draws and expanded international sides. More importantly, factors such as the training and media segments of the game have been clearly tightened up, and the various statistics have been brought up-to-date.

A predictable conclusion, then: Championship Manager Season 03/04 is a superb game, and without question the best in its field by some way. It does, however, come with one caveat. Once you get into it, there's a real possibly that your social life will come to a crashing end. Don't say we didn't warn you. --Simon Brew

- A Fine End To A Fine Series
he Championship Manager games have long been regarded as the best football management games around, this is reflected in the amount of games published and sold.

Incase you hadn't already known, this game puts you in charge of club from many leagues. You pick the team, buy the players, sack the staff and a whole lot more. But I'll go into further detail of that in a minute.

The basic gameplay is excellent. I've been playing Championship Manager for 6 years now, and there are only a few days when I haven't played it. The games are addictive as anything, and the easy-to-use interface means that you can play this complex game with ease. You can play this game in different ways, for example, you could take a small team up ... Read More:

- why get anything else its wicked
This is an outstanding game the 2d matches are great as you can tell if a players playing well and the crowd(noise)are involved as they sing chants.The best thing about this is hearing the uproar when youre team score and it feels as though youre in a football ground.The transfer market is superb and the new training programme really shows how youre players are doing in training.thumbs up.

- Great Game
This game is fantastic! The best one! The 2D pitch gives a good idea of what is happening and how good players are, while the transfer system is much more realistic! There are also a wider range of players. People like Jiri Jarosik are good buys to have while there are a lot more young players!This game is the best CM game out! The loan signings are a lot better than previous games and there is less chance of Leigh RMI signing Ruud Van Nistelrooy!! I hope this is helpful!

- Good but overrated
CM 03-04 is definitely the most realistic football management simulation on the PC. The database is good, the 2d match AI is quite realistic and the interface is easy to use which is important.

But I can't help but wonder what all the fuss is about. The 2d match engine, albeit with a good level of realism, really in this age needs to be a 3d engine. It doesn't have to be something graphically rich like TCM's FIFA engine - but an inclusion of a 3d engine, albeit a simple one is in my opinion needed.

Also the game is quite slow and graphically it is a bit of a bore.

It just gets a bit boring to play after some time in my opinion.

The best management game would be the graphics, 3d engine and fun factor ... Read More:
