[GameSpot UK]: Championship Manager, the Xbox version, is as good as the PC one. And, if you haven't guessed by now, that means that it's absolutely superb.

A totally absorbing, addictive, life-dominating game. We seriously recommend that you get into it. Now.

The key is depth: 100,000 players, managers and staff occupy a virtual football world so close to the real thing you'll weep. [XGamer Magazine]

A very, very dangerous game...don’t blame me when your girlfriend dumps you and you lose your job!!!

One drawback for CM connoisseurs is the inability to control more than three leagues at any one time. To be frank, though, this doesn't really detract from the game.

Championship Manager 01/02 is probably one of, if not the deepest Xbox sports sim game currently available.

The first fully comprehensive and convincing football management game has finally stepped out onto the hallowed console turf. Don’t miss the chance to score with it.
