PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY
I own FIFA 2002 and bought this game thinking it would be alot better then it. It wasn't. What i really liked about FIFA 2002 was the variety of teams-there were hundreds of them-all the national teams and all the leagues you could think of. You could create your own team, your own player, r even your own tournament. All of this is lost in FIFA WORLD CUP 2002. You can only play as a national team. You either had to play a friendly or the World Cup. This game got boring fast. The music was nothing compared to FIFA 2002-there was only one song and it was boring. The sunset lighting was annoying also. There were a few good points to the game. The extras for one. There was a movie about football(soccer) all around the world. It was pretty good. The gameplay was fantastic, yet the same as FIFA 2002(except for the juggling thing). All in al this game was not nearly as good as expected-I sold mine. If you love soccer, or even if you dont, buy FIFA 2002 instead of FIFA WORLD CUP 2002. If you already own FIFA 2002, do not purchase this game. It is a waste of money and time. Thank you.

Better than the X-Box and PS2 versions!!
This is purely an excellent game. I love the graphical touches and detail, which makes this game stand out in an overly crowded field of soccer games. 2002 Fifa World Cup is better than the original. There is better computer A.I., and there is finally a world cup mode. The passing uses the effcient system from Fifa Soccer 2002, so vetrans of the series will be able to pick this right up. There is also a rookie mode, which will help new players enjoy this game also. This is also better than the X-Box or PS2 edition because the controls are much easier to use. Even if you own the previous editions, or this on another console, you should still pick this up. There has yet to be a better soccer game released on any console.

Most exciting fotbol game to date!
I've gone through generations of soccer video games, albeit I haven't played ALL of them, but this just has to be the best of the pack. Best of all is the intuitive play control mechanisms, ie. shooting, passing and ball-handling. I really do have a sense of controlling what goes on in the field, and none-the-less paying for my stupid mistakes as well. The AI also is very intelligent and really does correspond to its difficulty levels. Newbies can pick up the controller and play begginner and have just as much fun as the more seasoned player in the professional setting. How does the game look and sound? Extraordinary! The player animations are superb as are all the minute details throughout. The music, crowd chants, camera work, stadium details all just add up to create such a realistic pageantry that is the World Cup! I've never attended the actual event, but this just might be the next best thing to watching it live on the tele.
