Manchester United: The Double description

The fourth game of the series, having very little in common with the preceding, though not bad overall.

Most curious of what there is, is an editor with which you can introduce new tactics, sell and buy players to change their names, color of skin and hair, skills and so on. Incidentally, the local editor is recognized as the biggest sports game in the entire history of their existence, but... is it necessary to fans of such games?

About the gameplay you can, alas, say not so much. The prospect of the review has completely changed – now we're watching the match from top, models players and small – what we confess – for years the game looks not particularly beautiful. Management is much more difficult than in previous games in the series, and there is more of a disadvantage than advantage. Phase management saved, but all was somehow "wrong." To play at times very exciting, but can't help constantly comparing everything to how it was before...

Graphics in General (the same box, for example) looks fine, but the overall exciting atmosphere of a football match, which is so keenly felt in the first two parts here. The game, by the way, got mostly positive reviews in the press, but the players took it quite cold. Verdict – just an ordinary football game, not the worst (and I can even say that something innovative) as such, but a very sad end to an outstanding series.
