2002 FIFA World Cup (Playstation)

The official soccer game of the 2002 Korea/Japan World Cup features new "Air Play" gameplay with intuitive one-button headers, volleys, scissor kicks, juggling and showboating. New player-to-player animations allow for agressive jostling for the ball on the ground and in the air. The Tournament Mode features a seven game series beginning with round-robin play, followed by playoffs leading to the final match with a progressive story line and a rising intensity as you advance.

Critic Reviews

82	PSX Nation A stripped-down rehash of the excellent "FIFA 2002."
80	Official U.S. Playstation Magazine I take issue with my offensive players' lack of motivation. [July 2002, p.103]
68	GameSpot While the gameplay is still as entertaining as ever, the game just lacks too many secondary features--both in comparison with "FIFA 2002" and even with other versions of 2002 FIFA World Cup--to make it worthwhile for anyone but the biggest World Cup fan.
