Football Manager Handheld 2012 review (iPad / iPhone / iPod touch)
Do you like this story?
So, it's good to know that there are other, dependable things out there. Things that are as guaranteed as German engineering. And one of those just so happens to be an annual release of...
Football Manager Handheld 2012
- Format iPad, iPhone, iPod touch
- Price £6.99
- Where iTunes
Football Manager Handheld 2012, for the uninitiated, is not just a tablet or smartphone version of the best-selling PC game, instead it is a heavily cut down experience that has been purposely crafted to appeal to those who want to dip in and out when on a tube train, bus or generally on the move.
The layout is simplified, with fewer options and buttons, and the whole experience whizzs along fast enough to allow you to get almost an entire season's play in one day, if that's your bag.
However, none of this means that it is lacking as a simulator, oh no no no!
It offers no less than 12 nations and their respective leagues to manage in, including the Welsh Corbett Sports Welsh Premier League and the Blue Square North and South Leagues for the very first time. Plus, you can have all the leagues of the main country you choose, plus the top leagues of three others active at the same time, allowing you to accept managerial jobs abroad during your career.
A vast number of real world players are in the game and accessible to you, and with an updated database. But the major added feature this year actually comes in the form of an entirely new game mode. Challenge mode offers a number of tricky challenges for you to manage your way out of, from scenarios like "The Saviour Cometh", where you have to save your favoured team from relegation in the second part of a season, to "The Invincibles", a task to remain unbeaten throughout the entire footballing year.
Plus, the news this year is more interactive, and the user interface has been fiddled about with to make it even more intuitive.
Yeah, sure, there's not as much depth here as with its bigger brother, but what it does offer is the most realistic management experience on a mobile device. The 3D engine may be missing, but the top down highlights were good enough for us a few years ago, and at least they move about as per your tactics. There are too many rival games on the App Store that offer an experience more like schools football, where everybody chases the ball around the pitch at the same time.
We're not quite sure how much Football Manager Handheld 2012 costs at the moment, as it's not out until just after midnight tonight (out on 8 December, therefore), we'll update you when we find out.
We do, though, recommend it even if it ends up being 10 trillion pounds. Well, maybe not 10 trillion... Definitely 8 though...
UPDATE: Turns out it was £6.99 in the end. A bit cheaper than we expected then.
