Ready for the cliche of the eon? Football is a game of two halves, or at least it is in the case of Manchester Utd. Here you're a manager and joystick-juggling striker simultaneously. And what's more you can play either a full management sim or just the arcade leg. As management sims go, Man Utd offers little that's new. It's icon-driven and gives a vast range of options to keep the accountants happy. And there's enough going on to make sure you appreciate the pressure young Ally' Fergusson was under.
The major hardship to be endured with Man C/tcf is the tape version. As the game nips between arcade and management this means repeated loading and reloading. No probs on disk, but on tape it takes a lifetime. Overall there are no complaints, but neither side of the package excels. The management competition isn't the most complex of its kind, but is far from being a slouch. The arcade section is 110 third division pretender either, but is left standing by Italy 1990. Man Utd won't win any silverware this season but they give a better account of themselves than certain Merseyside computer teams you could mention! TW, AA |
