I have been reading these forums for a couple of years now. I am not a massive CM?FM fan, or any games for that matter, but I did buy cm 01-02 and FM 2007 and enjoyed both.

Is this one worth getting? Im not after a perfect game like it seems some are. Most of the 'bugs' on the last one I wouldn't have even noticed if it wasnt for people pointing them out.

Can anyone honestly tell me if this game is worth buying, only really want it for those spare hours during the time off work over christmas. And are all the patches out? Because I hated restarting games all the time on the last one!

Cheers lads

I'm enjoying this game a lot at the moment. Think I played it more already than I put in on FM07 all year.

You don't have to restart the game everytime there is a patch. I have continued my game from before the patch without problems.

Yes. Period.

Should i download the latest patch when I get the game? Reason im probably gonna get it is it's only £14.99 on play.com

Thanks for the replies. As I say I dont expect the game to be perfect. Some of the posts on here are enough to put anyone off!

110% yes!

Patch the game when you get it.

If you enjoyed 07 you're gonna love 08.

Don't know about playing it during "spare" hours though....never seem to be able to limit myself to mere hours

i love the game so yes buy it but be prepared to get a lot pevved off as hard as fook to win any games

retired_mom2cole&livi

Not spare hours but im off for nearly two weeks at christmas, not used to that to be honest. There is only so much time you can spend with the bird/down the pub after all!

I do enjoy the games, get rigt into them, not bothered if they are hard. Are the matches really as poor to watch as some make out? I used to watch a fair few of the games on 07, enjoyed it more that way.

buy it asap.

Just ordered it. For 15 quid it is hardly a gamble! I doubt I'll look on here after I have the game as it puts you off...always looking for things wrong in the game etc.

As long as the patch fixes most of the main bugs im not too fussed

retired_jackrrice

That sounds perfect (y)

I dont think so. Imo the 2d engine is vastly improved on 08, you get a lot more detail from your "blobs"

It's tactically different than 07, so you might need to spend some time on tactics at the start, but it pays off in the end.
