Football Manager Handheld 2008
It’s been only a few days since I mentioned how much I’ve always cared for Football Manager (even though it doesn’t know I exist… sigh!), but it seems I failed to mention I was actually referring to the PC version of the game. This post on the other hand is quite definitely about the Sony PSP reimagining of the game and, should you’ve failed to notice so far, the PSP lacks both a proper monitor and a mouse. It is, you see, what we specialists tend to call a handheld gaming device. And handheld gaming devices aren’t the platform of choice for deep strategic football related thinking.
Then again, one has to admit that Sports Interactive definitely know their thing and even seem to grasp the annoying particularities of handheld gaming. I could even argue that Football Manager Handheld 2008 is not only the best football management game ever on any handheld , but also on par with -personal favorite- Championship Manager 97/98. Still, truth be said, FM ‘08 it’s not.
If you are fine with the lack of a few features and the 2D match engine though, the slightly simplified gameplay, excellent matches, elegant interface and portability of the thing will make sure you’ll have a blast. Provided of course you care for football in the first place, that is. Oh, and being a regular train/tube/tram rider might help too.
