Customer Reviews

Very Addictive and great fun..
I think the other reviewers have been very harsh. This is never going to be a PC beater, the whole aspect of the game is its for a portable and so meant to played in short chunks and not hours and hours at a time like the pc version. All I can say is that i've been addicted. It's very easy to pick up and play as your favourite team. Most of the game mechanics seem very realistic and its quite a nostalgia trek as it reminds of the old skool style of football management games. It concentrates on the basics and does them well.

If you're looking for the latest footie management game with all the most in-depth features - then buy the pc version. If however, you're just looking for a game to fill up the odd half hour on the train or an hour here or there - then you wont find a more addictive game for your money.. get it now - its a hidden gem.

A welcome improvement
Ok so this is a scaled down version of the PC game. So what? it is brilliant. The new features added have enhanced the game and I once again find my life draining away much to the annoyance of the missus. I have been buying FM or before that champ for over ten years and this is a very good version compared to all the rest, it is certainly the best PSP version. Allowing tactics to be adjusted is long overdue to be included and I now find myself playing 2-4-1-3. Player interaction is simple but again a welcome improvement. For some reason Goran Pandev is a goal machine but hey these things happen. My only small problem would be that I do need to stop every now and again so that my eyes do not bleed as the new skin is quite painful. Well done SI, the best complement I can think of is my missus hates you.

Product Details
(Please note this isn't really a review - its information on the game as there is none listed on amazon yet - I can't truly do a review as I help make the game and would be biased as heck :D)

Football Manager Handheld 2008 will include a host of new features, which will enrich the portable management experience.

While a new skin and lay-out makes it easier to navigate for players, the addition of a reserve squad doubles the amount of squad members players can use. The player can now also customise their tactics and share them with their friends. The match engine has been optimised as well, meaning the player will spend more time playing and less time waiting.
