This game is going towards all soccer maniacs out there who wanna try their hand on managing a professional football club such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus or even lower league clubs such as Bath City. Never heard of the club before? Same here.
Nothing much has been changed, so I hope you can refer to my previous post on the earlier version. Sorry, I don’t have much time to spare today and I just started playing it. The link is as below:
http://itsahanzo.wordpress.com/2008/11/16/football-manager-handheld-2008-psp/
If you think this game is easy too play by selecting the top flight clubs, think again! I started as Manchester United club’s manager and it begins with pre-season friendly matches which I won comfortably 1-0, 2-0 and 4-0. I lost out to Chelsea FC on penalty kicks and subsequently I lost the first 3 BPL matches to the newly promoted teams. I got frustrated and I restarted the game!
Guess what? I fair better this time around but the results were not entirely overwhelming with majority of wins, some draw and a few losses. I qualified through the next phase of European Champions League chalking out 4 wins out of 4. Great huh? Not really. I got kicked out by Chelsea FC on the League Cup and subsequent match was against Chelsea FC which I lost too. I got sacked immediately … so sad.
Why am I explaining the above experiences are that this game will be no walkover, although you have chosen a the rich and famous clubs. The game is well balance as you will notice Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool dropping points and even being humbled by other clubs. The treatment rooms will be busy with injured players. Star players will come knocking on your door asking for transfers or commenting your management style to the media and even the board will be giving comments if you overprotect your players.
The noticeable change so far is that there is a bookie styled odds where they will predict the outcome of the matches on the teams. It will also give comments such as Manchester United is predicted to win the match comfortably but the real outcome is a setback. Don’t fall for this anymore =.=.
So if you enjoy your football moments on games like FIFA or Pro Evolution series, why not try your hands on managing a club today in BPL, Seria A, La Liga and etc?

Her Manager informed that the position is still vacant and she is one of the candidates under consideration as her decision making ability is not good enough.

Christine felt pity and approach her boss to asked for an extension but later decided that she has the ability to make decisions and she rejected the extension. Sylvia Ganesh then pleaded and beg her on her knees for an extension to no avail and she later grab her Christine legs and beg for mercy with a bit of force in it. Christine was intimidated and shouted for the security personnel to escort her out from the building. Sylvia was furious that the actions have shamed her despite her begging on her knees. (Don’t ask me why, I was like wtf when I saw this too …)
Christine had finished work and went to the car park to retrieve her car. At the car park, she felt something amiss as she saw Slyvia’s car at the car park too but the person was no where to be seen. She enters her car and wanted to drive home but she saw a flying handkerchief floating in the air which belongs to Slyvia. Suddenly she was shock to find Slyvia at the back seat of her car and Slyvia started attacking her. Christine was fighting for freedom and even rammed her onto cars and wall to fight to freedom. She manages to break free from the attack and lock herself in the car. However, Slyvia smashed the car window with a huge stone and they started fighting again.

Halfway reading her fortunes, Rham scrambles away and ask her to leave and will refund her money. She asked what he sees and he explains that she is being haunted.

However, somehow the corpse kinda attack her. This causes her to panic and she visited Rham once again. Rham told her that the powerful dark spirit, Lamia, is out to torment her and later drag her to hell within 3 days. Rham later explains that she can negotiate with the dark spirit but she has to sacrifice animals in exchange for her spirit. Back home, she felt some dark auras coming and she unwillingly sacrifices her kitten. (she loves animal and is vegetarian) Clayton then brought her over to his parents place for dinner. She felt the whole situation was over. She was in the middle of conversation when she started hearing strange voices and her appetizer contains some insects. She later left the residence alone and Clayton’s parents were shocked of her behavior.
The following day, she was furious and visited Rham again. She was angry but Rham explained that the sacrificial was not accepted and there is one last way to solve it but it requires her to fork out USD 10, 000 as a fee. She went home and started gathering items to sell to the pawn shop. However, the collection was not enough but Clayton gave her the good news that he had visited Rham and paid him the money.
Rham later brought her to visit the medium Shaun San Dena, who explained that she had waited very long to get her revenge and seal the Lamia. She explains the whole ceremony where they will lure the Lamia out and force it into the goat where they will kill the goat and banish it forever. When the ceremony begins, they were other dark spirits too. It was later banished and the real Lamia appeared. They managed to force the Lamia into the goat but it escapes and went into Shaun San Dena’s assistant body. Shaun San Dena manages to save his assistant and force the Lamia from the place as the whole ceremony failed and Shaun San Dena losing her life as well.
Rham later explained that she can give the button away to someone who accepted it willing as a gift and the Lamia will haunt the other person and take their life in exchange. On the way home being driven by Clayton, she dropped the envelope with button inside. She later panicked and found the envelope. Later that night, she went to a cafe to figure out whom to give the envelope too. She was too kind hearted and she even called Stu Rubin but later hesitated to give it too him. Then she figures that she can give it back to Slyvia. She went to the graveyard and open out the coffin. It was raining and somehow Slyvia’s corpse seems to attack her and pull out some of her hair. She managed to fight back and stuff the envelope into the corpse’s mouth.
It’s finally over? Christine and Clay decided to go on a holiday to relax and recuperate but later the Lamia pull her to the train’s railway track and drag her to hell. It seems that she had given the wrong envelope and the envelope is with Clay.
We (Yen and I) felt that this is kinda like a low budget movie with lots of unrealistic and illogical scenes such as the incident at the car pack. It might be a good way to end the movie and I wonder will there be a sequel to it. If there is one, I might not be watching it as the movie is not truly enjoyable at all but worth watching on your leisure time to cure your boredom.
