Some Quick Questions & Answers
Q: I've heard that FM05 is the same as Championship Manager 5?
A: Yes-Last year Sports Intercative worked together on CM4. But during the summer they split up-so 1/2 of SI
made CM5 and the other half made FM05
Q: Will FM05 run on a Mac?
A: Yes, it will.

The Review (By Jack098):
Game Play: The game play in FM is a huge improvement on CM4. I find the pitch is the best, and has been extended
with more features. It no longer glitches as in CM4 and the football flows and really gets you into the spirit. The matches
no longer take as long and are clearer and easier. I feel though that, although FM has amde a lot of improvements a season
could be speeded up for younger players.
Graphics: Graphics are not needed in most Manager games but FM includes a fully functional 2D pitch which
works really well.
Sound: Not much sound either in FM but sound effects during a match are a good edition to go with the 2D
pitch.
Story: The fate of your club lies in your hands! You have the power to do anything you want from cutting
wages to increasing ticket prices and so on. The layout is good and the game is not complicated like past manager games have
been.
Multiplayer/Live Play: Multiplayer is really not worth it. A season takes at least 4-5hours to finish
and hardly anyone has that time. Fails in an area that could have made FM almost 'invincible'.
Overall: 79% A good solid game-much better than CM5. Only play this if you are dedicated,
those you want quick simple manager games, stay away!
