This is game of Chess-ethics, where visual wonders are irrelevant and base compared to the higher-plane of the mental work-out. It is the truth in this that lies behind why Championship Manager is the success it is. Never has a game captured the thrills and spills of the real thing so accurately as in this case, it's just so damn believable, and ultimately addictive and fun.īecause football is fun, and when you're in control the tactical wizardry, signing of new players and day to day squad management prove even more intriguing than watching the match. Yet it is from this anal accountancy-style attention to the hard facts and figures that make the game the joy it is to play for underneath the coldness of the database lies the true essence of Football. But at the end of the day, Champ Man is still just a collection of statistics and results. Yes, it does allow every man to fulfill his boyhood dream of controlling a football club down to the most intricate details of training, signing, tactics, injuries, and finance. Naturally, the game does boast a startlingly accurate array of teams, players and competitions from the best leagues and competitions of world football.

It's quite popular then, and on face value it is quite hard to see why. Championship Manager 01 / 02 marks the latest and final update to the Championship Manager 3 engine, and at the time of going to press has already broken UK PC game sales records, shifting well over 100,000 copies within a day or two of launch.
