EuroGamer
Overall Rating: 8/10
Review Summary Blurb:
In many ways FM Handheld is the gaming equivalent of a security blanket, and unlike so many other games, I'll be playing it long after the review is finished.

Games Radar
Overall Rating: 8/10
Review Summary Blurb:
You won't find a more enjoyable managerial game anywhere else and, given the continually improving PC game, we're certain that FM Handheld will be in for a similarly long and illustrious managerial career on PSP.

A truly spectacular 30 yard drive, back of the net.

Official Playstation2 Magazine
Overall Rating: 8/10 (Bronze Award)
Review Summary Blurb:
Slick like Ronalinho tip-toeing his way across Camp Nou's immaculate turf, this addictive sim gives its rivals an emphatic thrashing.

PSM2
Overall Rating: 80/100 (Silver Award)
Review Summary Blurb:
As a no-frills footy management game that feels properly solid, FM Handheld is seriously hard to beat. A great first attempt at portable Mourinho-ing from Sports Interactive.

Pocket Gamer
Overall Rating: 7/10
Review Summary Blurb:
Not only can you guide your favourite players to greatness, now you can take them on the plane to Germany with you too!

Review Summary Blurb:
FM Fanatics, there's now no reason for you not to use public transport every day.

Overall Rating: 82%
Review Summary Blurb:
As expected, the loading times are a pain and the controls are fairly clunky, but neither take the shine off a brilliant management game that goes into a ludicrous amount of detail. Say goodbye to hours and hours of your life.

Game Spot
Overall Rating 7.8/10
Review Summary Blurb:
Football Manager Handheld lacks the depth of its PC and Xbox 360 counterparts, but can be enjoyed in short bursts or played for hours at a time.

Review Summary Blurb:
Making this was a ballsy move, and it’s paid off. This deserves the success it will get and is perfect for a quick go or a long night of footballing passion.

How much space did they both devote?

[retired_cacuna]

OP2M gave it a full page review, I think PSM2 might have given it a double page review but I don't have the magazine to hand and can't remember 100% I'm afraid ...

[retired_mbjenkins]

yeh i read the oficial ps2 mangazine review, a very good write up indeed.

was a 1 page review

[retired_elise]

are we allowed to post up the reviews for others to read, if so i dont mind typing up the PSM2 mag review but didn't know if it would be copywrite or anything?

[Alex2]

I'm not sure what the actual answer is to that question saintsfc but if you're going to do that then it would be best to ensure you quote the source of information, the issue number of the publication and the page number the article appeared on.

I'll edit the first post in this thread to include a link to a review collation site so that you can see some more blurb on the reviews.
