Eurogamer: Football Manager 2008 Review (XBox 360)

Underated | April 02, 2008 | Reviews | XBOX 360 
Eurogamer writes an in-depth, detailed review on the latest installment of Football Manager for the XBox 360. Given that Football Manager is definitely the best management simulation game on the market, it's no surprise to see Eurogamer give it a solid rating of 8.
I know, I know, we say it every year, but that's only because it's true, so here goes: Sports Interactive's Football Manager series is the definitive football management experience there is. No other management series comes close to matching its sheer depth, exhaustive attention to detail and impressive levels of realism.

Right, now that we've got that out of the way, let's get down to business. Just like last year's version, FM2008 takes another brisk walk down Evolution Street without ever deviating into Revolution Road. Featuring all of the new features from the PC version - that's well over 100 additions for the number lovers amongst you - the game proves slicker and more detailed than ever before, but sadly lacks any genuinely cutting edge new features such as the excellent player interaction tools that set FM2007 apart from its predecessor. This year's version feels very much like a spit polish of an already gleaming product, with many new additions welcome if not instantly noticeable.

    Only 8? Little bit disappointed with that, I suppose it is with the xbox and not computer. The computer I would give a solid 8.5, maybe even 9.

    I am seriously considering buying FM for XBOX, good to see Eurogamer give it a decent review. Agree with TP, only 8?
