    Standing “headers” and shoulders above the pack, EA’s long-running FIFA Soccer series has always been the place to go for the most comprehensive simulation of the sport on console with the most teams, best graphics and incredibly authentic play that accurately reflect the nuances of the sports. As usual, the feature set is the standard by which to judge other soccer titles and is mainly competing with itself at this point. Read on as we examine this surprisingly... Read more

    Sure, a few tweaks are needed — you can’t do special moves on most joypads, for example — but FIFA 2002 is a must-own for soccer fans. Read more

    Add to that support for Internet play with up to 8 players, and you have one of the best PC soccer games to come out of the pipe in a long time. Congratulations to the FIFA development team for not resting on their laurels and simply updating the rosters for the 2002 version. They've taken the risky step of revamping EA Sports' flagship title and came up smelling like roses. FIFA 2002 stands apart as the best soccer game on the PC, and one of the best footy games on any... Read more

    follows the trend with awe-inspiring graphics that any follower of the genre can be proud of. The many stadiums to play in are splendidly modeled after their real life counterparts, complete with background scenery and cheering crowds. There are player animations aplenty, keeping the action fresh no matter how often you play, and although the character models may seem slightly limited, it's not enough to take away the experience. The only real down side to it all is that... Read more

    An admirable approach, albeit one that could risk alienating the traditional FIFA fan. Predictably, EA Sports isn't about to do that, as Bill explains: 'As you and I are standing here now, we're focus-testing back in North America for ways in which we can create a mode that is a little bit more approachable for casual users, and for kids as well.'

    Fifa 2002 has taken on a different form to its pre-assecors, instead of just playing the soccer tornaments for the glory of winning (that is an important factor stilll though) you play them to unlock other tornaments and star plays such as Carlos and Figo. Fifa 2002 also allows you to create a custom tornament for you to compete in, you can choose wether it be Knock-Out or not, who'll play in it, its name etc. Another handy accesory to Fifa 2002 is the "Team Editor"...
