Only for true soccer managers

Sports is fun if you do it with friends. Playing sports at home, either on your PC or any other console is fun if you have friends to play with. Now playing a sports managing video game can have other reactions than fun. For me these type of games stress me out. I mean, it's not so bad if a game makes you think like a manager or a coach, but not how Premier Manager 97 does. I will make this review short because I'm not truly a fan of managing games. I neither hate nor love this game so I'll tell you shortly what this game is about: you pick a team from England's Premier League and you manage the team by trading in players or signing new players, managing your stadium, making sure that the team's balance go up and that's about it. There's not much to say about the graphics, because the game is mostly consisted of menus, so all I can say that the graphics are colorful. The music for me seemed okay, but nothing special. Personally, I've enjoyed The Manager, because it kept things simple and it wasn't that complicated. In conclusion, any fan of managing games, you might want to check this game out.
