    The best yet, but SI really need to bring the next big change to take FM to the next level. Read more

    If you take FM2008 at face value, you're left standing eyeball to eyeball with the finest football management game ever made. But just like Aliens: Special Edition was fleetingly more engaging than the cinema release, this year's FM feels like a game that further polishes an already highly buffed formula but fails to take it to a genuinely higher level. It's still a winner, but it's a champion that's unlikely to be remembered with moist-eyed fondness for years to come. Read more

    For those that have turned away from the Football Manager series the 2008 version should be tried out, things have definitely improved from previous versions, whether things are as good as the early versions will really have to be tested personally, but it has got to be real close. The joy of stats and the sheer tension is back though and without the desire to break things when your carefully picked team and tactics end up looking like your locals 'C' team second XI. ...

    All in all there must be over 100 changes to Football Manager for the 2008 version, and this is indeed the best football management game out there so far. But to be fair-so was the 2007 version when that came out. If you are a hardcore fan, then you will appreciate the changes, and no doubt have already bought this & taken Wrexham FC (or whatever your chosen side happens to be) to win the Champions league. And have the cream of the world playing for you. But if you ha... Read more

    To be honust i can be botherd writing a masive review on every detail of the game. The first thing i'd say is it is really hard! it takes a long time to get used to most stuff, and i feel if you haven't played a Football manager game before you'd be best just sticking to the basics. I feel the hardest bit about the game is transfers, it is so hard to sign people!!! and if your a lower league club you've simpley got no chance. Overall it is a great manager game, bet... Read more
