    Totally revamped from the ground up, and it shows. Great graphics and the best gameplay the series has seen in years.

    The most realistic and technically advanced soccer game to date. It's almost too real. [Dec 2002, p.91]

    A terrific game on this platform. EASports has nailed virtually every aspect of this game.

    The games flows nicely, control is accurate enough so that you're never left cursing your on-screen players, and the overall look and feel is very strong.

    The biggest change in 2003 is how the ball handles... The ball feels much more separated from the players now, and the control even reflects this.

    While there's still plenty of room for improvement with a broader features set, FIFA 2003 is a superior game to "World Cup" that soccer fans should definitely check out.

    A definite improvement on last year’s version and while it’s still some way from perfection, it is the best and only proper offering this Xmas.

    At some point, being "the best soccer game in America" shouldn't be enough. [Dec 2002, p.130]

    One of those rare games that is actually improved in all aspects including the physics and the control scheme.

    Overall, the developers seem to have put more emphasis on the presentation than on creating a deep and immersive gameplay experience.
