PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
John  "I Know What Ur Thinking Anothor Fifa Just Like The Rest But Dont. Fifa 2002 Changes The Trend As They Have Made Some Improvements Finally. There Are Loads Of Teams And A Create Mode Also Lots Of Leagues As Usual. But Now They Have Added A Passing And Shooting System Which Really Adds To The Realism Of The Game And The Goalies Actually Make Saves So The Scores Are Not Usually 10-9 Anymore.any One Can Pick Up The Game Even My Freind Can Give Me A Good Game And I Dont Think He Knows Football Exists ( I Have To Be San Morino When I Play Him And He Is Brasil). Anyway Fifa Is A Good Fun Football Game And Have Fun Trashing The Teams You Dont Like Especially Arsenal. Bring On Fifa 2003"

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Manfred Arndt  "Oh Yes, You Can Do Many Different Things If You Compare It With Fifa 2001 But In This One Eventhough You Can Tell The Goalkeeper To Come Out, He Is Just Dumber Than Ever 'cos He Doesn't Go Where The Ball Suppossed To Land Whenever There Is A Cross, He Just Follows The Pathway Giving The Goal Away.in The Case When There Is A Mano-a-mano With The Striker, He Does Not Cover, Dives Leaving A Huge Gap Somewhere Where The Striker Scores. The Game Scores Goal From 3/4 Of The Pitch (please Get Real).the Game Uses The Same Play Over And Over Making It Boring (the Defenders Kick The Ball All The Way Over To The Strikers). No Flexibility In The Formations. Most Of The Time Your Defenders Head The Ball When You Don't Want Them To And Your Goalkeeper Gives Many Coner Kicks Away Where There Suppossed To Be An Easy Save.always There Is Some Defender Out Of Position Leaving A Huge Gap Where The Striker Sneaks Thru And The List Goes On And On .they Know How To Make An Interesting Game But They Don't Want To Because They Do It Every Year And When They Come Up With New Graphics They Start All Over, That's Ea Sports."

Jamie Martin  "The New Passing System On This Game Is A Good New Feature To The Fifa Games. The Goalkeepers Act A Bit Dodgy But Some Of The Players Look Astoundingly Lifelike. But Compared To Pro Evolution Soccer This Is Average."

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Greg Clarke  "Let It Be Known That This Game Is Undoubtably The Best Football Sim I Have Ever Played.
The Graphics Are Amazing And The
'creation Center' Is Amazing.
The Amount Of Leagues, Teams And Players On This Game Is Bewildering.
The Only Main Flaw Is That There Isn't A Training Or Practise Option Included And Also The Players Dont Have The Names On The Back Of There Jersies!"

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Cnris Atkinson  "The Game Is A Great Step From 2001. In Some Areas!
The Passing At First Frustrated Me, However Practicing The Controls. I Think It Is A More Skillfull Game Which I Like. The Graphics Are Great, And I Love The Choice Of Music. The Drawbacks Are Their Is No Igm, Multiplayer Has Vanished, Names Have Been Replaced With Numbers(no22) For Alot Of Players On National Sides. A New Thing Of The Game Is You Get To Qualify For The World Cup. Great! I Qualified 20 Times Now. I Think Ea Really Took Advantage Of Us. They Want Us To Buy World Cup 2002 To Play With The Tournament. And If One Does Buy The Game How Long Do We Have To Wait! I Much Rather Create My Own Cup, And Win The Stupid Silver Cup That Looks Like A Pumpkin On A Stick. Oh Yeah Same Cup For Every Tourny. Good One! Anyway I Rather Create My Own World Cup Than Pay 80 Dollars. Oh And If Ea Could Bring Back Indoor Soccer And Training Mode That Would Be Very Well Appreciated. Those Are My Thoughts. Agree Or Disagree, The Choice Is Yours. I Will Not Buy World Cup 2002 But I Will Buy Fifa 2003 And I Hope To Win The World Cup!"

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Jorge Florez  "This Game Is Awesome!!! I Really Like The Graphics And The New Creation Center Is Awesome. There Are Some Things That Ea Should Improve, Like The Teams, Their Player And The Leagues They Make. Ea Should Add More Southamerican Leagues Like The Argentinian League Which Is Awesome. Though I Did Like Fifa 2002 I Strongly Recommend This Game To Any Football Lover!"

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Mark Hirst  "I Have Followed Fifa Since 1996 I Waited In Anticipation For This Installment And When I Played It I Thought Yes They Have Improved The Game Play - I Like It....
But Whoever Wrote This Game Has Made A Huge Mistake... Why You Ask, Well Try Getting Your Mates Round And Creating A Custom League Or Cup In Which You All Have A Team Each - Impossible The Only Thing You Can Do With Your Mates Is Have Friendlys - Boring - Roll On Pro Evolution Soccer.

Ea Sports You Should Be Ashamed - We Have Friends You Know! And Why Wont You Make A Game When You Can Have More Than 1 Player Season?

Dissapointed."

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Ernest Ibe  "Overall A Very Good Improvement On Previous Games But Will Almost Require You To "un-learn" Everything You Have Done Before In Previous Fifa Titles. This Increases The Challenge And Longevity Of The Game. But Two Serious Omissions Have Spoilt What Would Overwise Have Been An Excellent Game. The First Is The Removal Of Multiplayer Leagues. Why??!? This Is Why A Lot Of People Buy This Game, To Compete Against Their Friends, So Why Remove It. The Second Is The Excellent Igm (in Game Management Feature And Set Piece Strategy) Which Has Also Been Removed. These Two Omissions Of Extremely Successful Features Is Crazy. But If You Don't Use These Features Its An Excellent Game."
