Manchester United: The Double

Not bad, and nearly very good. It added the management/transfer aspect which its predecessor "MU Premier League Champions" didn't have, and switched to an isometric view. The combination of small sprites and the isometric view looked great, showed loads of the pitch, and had huge potential.

And as others have said, all the bits around the match itself are excellent.

But where it falls down is the fact the match feels jerky, which is exacerbated by the excessive speed. The ball doesn't roll smoothly from one place to next, it seems to arrive in about three very fast frames of animation. The same goes for moving your players around.

So you wouldn't swap it for SWOS but it remains worth a look.

I used to love this, simply because i never got the hang of sensi but could win at this no problem. My vote reflects that, i gave it a higher score than it objectively deserves from nostalga. Still worth a bash at worst though.

Interesting gameplay in this one, it tried new things compared to Sensi, but ultimately the matches didn't flow very well and could be frustrating. Good football game features such as database and league season etc, but on pitch I actually prefer the original Man U game by same guys.

It made a change from playing SWOS all the time I did get quite into it at one stage but I always found myself going back to SWOS!

It was not so bad as the score is - once, tired with sensible soccer i spent a few days playing this. It was fun, but i am not any expert in computer football games

The game looks good, but that's where the fun ends. Rubbish controls and bad flow makes the game frustrating and boring to play. You never get any feel for the game.

It's worth giving a try, but you'll probably soon move on.

This is a little better than the first game, years on though and you'd expect this, the game engine is slightly modified in isometric view, GFX are tad like towards seni soccer unfortunately the gameplay isn't, but its average

It looks nice but in the end it's not as interesting as it should have been! Goals are a matter of luck most of the times and the pace of the game is way too fast for the gamer to have some kind of strategy inside the lines... It's a pity though cause in every other aspect of the game (visuals, sonics, database) it's way above average.

Looks like Sensible Soccer in isometric view - interesting! I have to play this!
