Premier Manager 08 goes for goal

Zoo Digital Publishing has announced that the latest edition of its football manager series--Premier Manager 08--will soon be ready to kick off. The game will be released on August 17, the day before the next season of the Premiership kicks off.

New features include a remodelled user interface to make for easier navigation, a revamped character system, new facilities--including training centres--and a new rewards system. The player database will also be updated up to summer 2007.

Zoo Digital Publishing's commercial director, Adam Prichard, commented, "The great thing about Premier Manager is that it is so user-friendly and offers a more 'pick up and play' experience than many of the other management games that are available. It provides an assessable entry point into management simulation for gamers of all ages and experience."

Premier Manager 08 will be available on the PlayStation 2 and PC platforms.
