I still remember playing the demo of the original, where they forced you to play as Brighton.
Was at a department store some years ago and had picked up an old copy of some football management game and was told by a staffer that, I'd be better off with this brand new game he'd just gotten in.
That game was USM 2.
Never thought I'd even get to play the original in Australia but here I was, with a copy of the sequel which I barely even knew was out.
Loved the game and had much multiplayer fun with my best friend starting at the Conference and trying to beat each other to the PL.
I tried the demo of 98 but it had seemed to suck the silly fun out the game and I wasn't interested.
Still love USM 2, to this day. I even have the original CD, in its case. (Y)
