2002 FIFA World Cup

"If you don’t own FIFA Football 2002, then you’d be strongly encouraged to pick up 2002 FIFA World Cup. The GameCube version competes well and looks great. But if you do have FIFA Football 2002, you may not find enough new content in World Cup to warrant a purchase."

"I like Fifa World Cup 2002. It's a fun game that becomes stellar if you do lots of multiplayer gaming. However, if you get down to it, it's rather thin in the options department. It might be a realistic look at the World Cup… but in the world of videogames we just want a bit more substance than what this title offers. "

"Overall, FIFA 2002 is a fun game and something fans will love. However, given the length and lack of replay, casual gamers and people who know nothing about the sport may want to rent it first. "

"However it is whilst playing a game that the smooth player animations really hit home. Jerkiness is no longer apparent in any situation, and players now do exactly what you want them to do – gone are the days of frustration where the players take the ball out when you don’t even want them to touch it!"

"If you really must have a football sim that has all the official stadiums and mascots flitting about, then 2002 FIFA World Cup is the game for you. Last year’s installment still has a lot more replay value and there are plenty of noteworthy soccer alternatives for the GameCube that you can spend your money on."
