2002 FIFA World Cup

"Lacking the depth of its major rival, saturated with problems and bloated with unnecessary detail which actually works against the developer, this FIFA is a blotch in the copybook of an otherwise competent arcade football series."

"While possessing decent graphics and some nice play mechanics, FIFA World Cup 2002 for the Xbox isn't what Xbox fans should ultimately hope for in a soccer title. More depth and modes would lift it to stellar heights."

"Anyone looking for an Xbox soccer game that plays well and looks nice would do well not to pass on 2002 FIFA World Cup."

"As the first soccer game on the Xbox, I have to say 2002 FIFA World Cup is easily the most fun to play. The fact that soccer translates to videogames so well and EA's attention to detail when it comes to gameplay kept me and all of the other soccer fans around the office engrossed for weeks."
