Graphically…it is superior to both [Madden and 2K2], with the textures on the field looking particularly amazing. [Jan 2002, p.36]
If you’re a diehard gridiron fan looking for an accurate simulation of the sport, you’ll likely want to stick with EA Sports’ Madden NFL 2002. With that said, NFL Fever looks and sounds awesome, and plays fast, so if it’s an arcade football game with all the trimmings that you’re after, NFL Fever 2002 would be an excellent addition to your playbook.
I have major complaints regarding the game’s interface. Although it might be made with simplicity in mind, it lacks the functionality required for guys that spend a lot of time in the roster screens and stat screens...[yet] a refreshing, but incredibly fun and exciting football game.
Despite these problems, NFL Fever 2002 is a resoundingly solid game that will hold much more appeal for novices than the infinitely more arcane "Madden 2002."
Fans of games like "Tecmo Bowl" and "Cyberball," who don't want to invest the time or energy required to learn the intricacies of this sport, will get a lot more out of NFL Fever 2002 than players who've logged months, even years with Madden or NFL 2Kx.
In the end it’s the accessible gameplay and entertaining Dynasty Mode that will keep players interested, and for a first effort on the Xbox, the development team did an admirable job.
The graphics are the crowning achievement for the game after plays and during replays, but it looks pretty rickety in motion during the actual game play.
