Cycling Manager 4 (not 56k friendly)

[MelloBoy]

Anyone play this yet?
I remeber a thread not too long ago asking about cycling games and the x-box TdF was brought up, but I don't think this one was...I guess it just came out in Europe a month or 2 ago. You get to play the role of a team manager so someone like Johan Bruyneel(sp?). I didn't exactly get it through proper channels, but i should be able to post a review up in a day or 2 i hope. 1300+ cyclists, 40+ teams and a bunch of other stuff you need to control such as finances, sponsorships, etc. 300+ races including the grand tours and classics tracing the 2k4-2k5 season. The bike frames look cheesy...but other than that, it seems like an interesting game if you're into this kind of stuff...

Cool. Is this for the PC or a game console?

I wonder if you can play an obsessed fan that runs out onto the course reaking havoc!

Don't forget to download the database mods that guys at the CM4 offical forums have put out. They tweak various aspects of the DB so it is more realistic. The real names of teams + riders for one thing. (I found that quite annoying).

PDB database is one of the best. Get it.

i think it's like 44.99 euros + 19.x% VAT whatever that is :P
