Review written on Aug 30 2002
The creators of the game, Edios and Sigames, have always had a reputation for their football management simulators. This was just another game in the CM3 series, another update...
And as usual it was. Just another upto date game. Updated clubs, teams and the rest, everything you'd expect with a new CM title. But the good deisgners of the game promised us alot more then what I have stated above. And that is what we got.
Along with the new teams, upto date data and a new box, we got alot of new features. The new trasnfer rules were introduced to the game, giving it yet more upto to feeling. There were more leagues to compete in, now Australia and that area, and more national teams to manage and take to glory.
You can now make notes on the players, to remind yourself of future transfers with that player. You can compare two players, see who is better in what position and see who has the superior stats. You can now also send players away for surgery for continuous injuries they suffer from.
You can now use an editor, so you can change the teams, players and staff statstistics. The team's stats can be changed too, move players to other clubs before the game starts, or staff. You can make the stadium bigger or smaller, and alter the amount of money the club has.
Network games are quite good too, I dont personally play them due to my poor PC, but still. A good feature nethertheless.
THE BAD:
To be honest, there isnt really anything bad about this game.
SUMMARY:
This is by far the best Championship Manager available. I would reccomend it to anyone looking for such a game. It is the best out there. Beating LMA by miles.
I have been a fan and player of CM games for a while, so I know the concept quite well and I am experianced in using certain features. Even if you are playing it for the first time, you can pick it up easy.
A great game!
5/5!
