Video Game Reviews of FIFA Soccer 2002
Customer Review: Improved, but not without faults
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall, FIFA 2002 is greatly improved, IF you are looking for a realistic game. The biggest draw is the fact that you can score from outside the box, whereas in previous editions it was impossible unless you were on a break or from a header. This fact alone makes it worth buying. It's harder to get a more accurate shot, but you have more ability to control where it goes. The other main point is passing- you control the speed and the direction, but it's a little difficult to get a handle on. I can't figure out how to control through-balls without having them be picked off by the defense. And slide tackling is much harder to control. Free kicks are not as good as last year-the angle makes it harder to tell where you're shooting, and without being able to practice it (since there's no practice mode), I doubt I'll ever score a goal off a free kick.Basically, I'd recommend this if you're looking for a more realistic version. But if you get frustrated easily by a ridiculously good opponent, stick with the older ones. You get more control in this game, but that can be both good and bad, depending on how you look at it.
Customer Review: THE WORST OF ALL FIFA'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Impossible to play in "professional" and boring in "amateur". I haven't even tried to play in "world class". Why can't they bring back good FIFA's, like the 98 one. As usual, no stadium select, plus like 120 bugs. I hope this reviews help EA managers to change everything, specially GAMEPLAY.Customer Review: After playing for a coupe of months!

I still don't regret having bought this game...I keep playing and playing. I still like the new passing and shooting, and the overall ball interaction...much more realistic. The only downfall sI have found were as follows: shooting flanks (its hard to tell which direction you are shooting in...it might point 90degrees but actually shoots 120...shooting anywhere but infront of goal; AI in Pro mode...computer opponents AI much to perfect...but what makes it worse is taht yoru own players start being dumb and not playing as intelligently and aggressive as in amateur...please AE create a patch for that. Those would be the biggest problems I have found besides the increased difficulty of shot aiming in general. Other than that almost everything is a step up in a new direction. If teh above mentioned points could be fixed this could be come an increadible game.Customer Review: Very Good...if you can get it to install properly
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm fortunate to have several PCs at my disposal. The software did not install properly on my primary machine. I had problems with DirectX 7 drivers....I got the latest DirectX 8.1 from Microsoft, but that didn't help either. I finally got it installed on my other PC and wow! I really like it. The graphics and play action are very good. I'm still getting used to the controls, but I like what I see so far. The game engine itself leaves a lot to desire though...try having 2 teams play each other in CPU mode. There are lots of no-nos that take place...granted it's computer simulation, but I think there is plenty of room for improvements there!Customer Review: After all it is addictive
