Bloody hell, it seems that we’re reviewing one of these games every month at the moment. This time it’s another version of the game for PSP. We don’t understand it. It’s not like Eidos is trying to improve the thing either, as it’s essentially the same game as before, tweaked slightly to run a bit smoother. Maybe if we’re just really nice to this one, it’ll just go away and leave us alone.

Championship Manager 2006 on PSP is so good you’ll never play another game again ever… nope, can’t do it. It’s not an integrity thing either, just that we’re not imaginative enough. Speaking of having no imagination…

Possibly the worst aspect of CM 2006 is the sheer robotic nature of it all. It’s so preposterously awkward to navigate that you end up just plodding through it, never feeling like you’re ever really putting in the effort required to embellish your own identity onto the game. Also, as with all terrible football management sims, this is really just a game about your club’s bank account – player loyalty, training effects, team chemistry and tactics all take second place to just how many of the best players you can buy in one transfer window. This is superficial junk that doesn’t even try hard in all the wrong areas. It’s ferociously horrible to look at as well. Don’t bother.
