FIFA 2002 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)FIFA 2002 doesn't disappoint, fantastic game.I've played every version of the FIFA series since FIFA 97, and 2002 is prob the most significant overhaul of the game that I've seen.If you enjoy FIFA, you must get the newest version.Visually, all the pitches are beautifully detailed and the player models are more realistic.Also, FIFA 2002 is the most complete soccer game ever, in terms of the number of teams, leagues, and competitions you can play.The new intro sequence & game cover (see pic) feature Thierry Henry (Arsenal, France).
The biggest change has been to gameplay.Now all touches on the ball can be controlled for both direction & power (i.e. when you pass, it doesn't automatically go towards your player, you must direct it onto his path).It's tricky to get used to, but provides a great deal more control, you can even instruct players to begin an off-the-ball run, see their path, and pass the ball onto them.As a result of the changes, gameplay feels a little slower than past versions of FIFA but I believe 2002 is more realistic (2001 felt a little too fast, imo).
All around, an awesome game.Soccer die-hards will love the realism and control, for new players it may be a little challenging at first but tons of fun.
