After Manchester United won the English League championship for the first time since 1967, it was no surprise that Krisalis re-used their existing license for a third licensed football game. Little did they know that the club was entering an unprecedented run of success that has continued well into the 2000s.
The basic control system will be familiar to anyone who's played a Kick Off game, as it involves holding fire to trap the ball under your player's foot, and releasing fire to pass, although the ball will be kicked onwards if it is moving fast when it comes to you. Other gameplay features include diving headers, variable pitch conditions, penalty shoot-outs and accurate deflections. 2500 players featured in the game all had a range of varied ability statistics, as well as different skin tones.
As well as individual matches and custom-created tournaments (which have much the same range of features as Sensible Soccer, plus full calculation of injury and suspension severities, including disciplinary points and differing injury lengths), you can play out a full season of matches for any club in England's top 5 divisions - all domestic league and cup matches are included, with promotions and relegations taking place after each season. The Tacti-Grid editor allows for advanced match tactics to be configured and experimented with.
One of the most underrated soccer games, MU:PLC is an excellent game that combines good strategic options with fun arcade-style top-down play similar to Sensible Soccer. As the title suggests, the game focuses on the British divisions, where you lead a team of your choice through the season and Premier Cup finals. Player ratings and formation do make a difference here. In all, a solid game... just be prepared for some tough games if you do NOT choose Manchester United, whose players are semi-gods judging from their ratings G. If you like the game, also try Manchester United - The Double, the last and arguably best game in this series.
