Truly a realistic approach to Football Management, FIFA Manager 08 is well worth the time.
Very addictive to play. The menus are a bit confusing at first but once you have the hang of play, you start to enjoy it. Loads of features and options to choose from in training, transfers, tactics, lineups, etc etc. Probably the most thorough game in it's department.
GRAPHICS:
Altough graphics doesn't really matter in a football management game, this game even has it's own gaming engine. The models don't look as good as FIFA 08, but looks respectable and it's much more fun to actually watch a 3D match than watching a 2D football field as in some other management games.
DETAIL:
Database is packed with the latest stats of all the players of the major football leagues, including real photos of the actual players. It just makes the game more realistic and fun to play having those stats pages around.
OTHER:
What I also like about this game is the fact that you, as manager, has a personal life as well. You can go play golf, sail a yacht, marry someone, have children, etc etc. You have your own biography with your own stats of which clubs you have managed, what years, awards, etc etc. Great feature.
OVERALL:
FIFA Manager 08 is a great game for any football fan. I would classify it as the best in the business right now, as it brings realistic football management as well as a bit of arcade-style management together. Once you've mastered the menus, you won't stop playing.. trust me. ;)
