Introduction EA Sports always brought great sports games live on the front of a screen for everyone to enjoy. FIFA World Cup 2002, a highly anticipated event in the world, now contributes itself into the PC itself for one's enjoyment. Now one can lead his/her own team into battle and strive to qualify for the apex and the World Cup. Gameplay Gameplay is awesome. When a goal goes in, it's almost as live that you can scream on the front of your screen and lead your team to win. They got much better camera options and controller options are very good. You can get easily get excited or grim when you score goals. It's also a great stress reliever if you just want to see guys pumping goals in instantly in Beginner Mode. The levels are separated into 4 modes- Beginner, Amateur, Professional, and World Class. I recommend beginner level to all who's trying out the game for the first time. For others with experience from previous games, start from Amateur or Professional. You can control the character by using special moves (E), Shoot (D), Pass (S), and Lob (A). There are special options in which you can 1-2 Pass with the Space Bar. When you use Shoot, Pass, or Lob, a Meter in the bottom left shows up. Higher you charge it up, the farther and stronger the ball travels. Be sure to know when it's best to shoot and pass! There are more than 32 Teams you can play as- France, England, USA, and the host nations South Korea and Japan. Each team has their own abilities with their star players. Teams like Brazil, Italy, France, and South Korea boasts Attack and Agility. Teams like Germany prefers defensive position and counterattack. Graphics The graphics depend on your computer's availability, but overall, it's plain okay. It can't match GCN or PS2's graphics, but it's still playable and you can see the players' expressions very clearly. Sounds Simply beautiful and astounding. You can hear the crowd booing their opposing team, while cheering when a goal is in. The beginning theme is awesome too, as well as the comments from the announcer. You can hear him shouting ''That was nearly in!'' and ''You got to do better than that to beat the goalkeeper!'' Controls The controls can take time to get used to, but overall, it's fine. Make sure that you know what button is to Shoot and Pass! Conclusion Overall, this game's great, however, it dosen't provide playoffs or create-your-own-tournament/players. Still, it can bring lots of fun onto your PC screen. It's a must to all Soccer Fans to enjoy.
I have been playing FIFA games since the first one came out, but this game is the worst I ever played. The controls are SOOO easy. You cannot control you passing speed or distance, the change of scoring for distance is a... Read Full Review
Hey it is not a game, it is way to pay for your sins! I've always enjoyed played soccer games. I started with ISS on the SNES and have been hoping from game to game ever since. I was quite disappointed with FIFA 2006... Read Full Review
