Our 2002 FIFA World Cup Review |
Our review of 2002 FIFA World Cup is slightly different to our previous reviews of other FIFA games. This time around we've decided to let a FIFA player from our Forums write our review to make sure we are conveying the feelings of the true FIFA gamer.
Nick Clubman, an active member in the Soccer Gaming Forums was asked to put together his own review on 2002 FIFA World Cup. He has come up with a very indepth and interesting insight into EA's latest football offering. In part he writes:"What is the use of a football game if it looks the part, but plays like rubbish? Well, FIFA isn’t exactly a bucket of realism, but this version is certainly fun, which is the most important aspect of a game. If the game is fun and challenges the player both mentally and physically (tapping the run button, ouch!), then surely the player will want to play more." Do yourself a favour and read the full review today. |

Unlock Secret Teams in World Cup 2002 |
Once you win a World Cup in EA Sports' 2002 FIFA World Cup the challenge is over and you put the game back on the shelf to gather dust... right? Wrong!
We've just discovered that each time you win a World Cup a new bonus team is unlocked in the Friendly mode of the game. Having just won my first World Cup (after days of trying mind you) I was excited to read that a "European All Stars Team" had been unlocked. I am unsure as to exactly how many bonus teams are in the game, but you can be assured there will be more to come.
Take a look at the starting line up of the All-Europe team as well as an action shot of David Beckham celebrating a goal for his new team in the screenshots below.
 
Hopefully they'll be even more secrets to discover in World Cup 2002 as time goes by. |
