Worldwide Soccer Manager 2006

"Another Football Manager? Great!"

My mother brought this game for me a long time ago (?) and I still play this game till now! Ahem... Well Football Manager is more than just a regular football manager game. It requires patience, luck and hope to play this game. If you do, you can get even more fun as I do. xD

Gameplay:

This isn't RPG game, folks. But is not a simple Strategy game either. This game -as I said- requires patience and luck, because of its unique gameplay system. You now control a football team (well, of course. Did you expect to control baseball team?), and you must aid the team. Basically the gameplay isn't different from the previous Football Manager game (FM2005), you can still schedule your players' training, buy a new players, ask the board to build (or expand) a new training place, and of course you can control and assign a strategy.

Ah yes, you can still using the ol' but good FM database editor, nice! :D

To be honest, the developers did a good job in this area, the game engine was improved greatly and bring new experience to every Football Manager fans.

Graphics:

Well, at least no glitches here. I recall some glitches on previous series. The graphic is not different from the previous game, still 2-d world. But the 2-d animation was greatly improved by the developer. Oh yes, I'm still using my onboard VGA without problem , thanks to Sports Interactive for their kindness xD

Sound:

Bah, the sound aspect does not impress me at all, really. No improvements were made in this section. No background music displeases me greatly, too bad.

Replayability:

Oh wow, you can replaying this game many times, with many clubs, and of course experience xD and fun. You can switch to different time anytime you like without problems, because this is your game :D

Score:
Gameplay 9/10
Graphic 9/10
Sound 3/10
Replayability 10/10
Total Score 8/10

Buy or not? Buy, for sure. There's no need to rent such great game xD
