    Great game, and the World Class level is much more challenging than in prior FIFA games. Many players actually look like the real ones. The graphics are great, but the game sort of moves kind of slow at times when the ball is in the air. A must buy if you don't own FIFA 2002 already.

    Fifa soccer 2002 is a solid game but Fifa soccer 2001 still is a little better.

    On it's own it's not terrible, but considering it's basically fifa 2002 except with a bunch less gameplay modes, and options world cup is a huge rip off. while i like the direction the fifa series is going on the whole (more realism... less magnetic ball to foot physics). again it's just fifa 2002 at more than double the price with less features.

    Pro Evo is the king and this miserable game is its slave!

    EA games are usually great, and I've really enjoyed previous versions of FIFA, but FIFA 02 Major League Soccer is probably the worst game I've ever tried to play on my PC. The game engine is lame, the AI is about the most predictable thing I've ever played against, and the game seems to choose where to pass the ball regardless of what direction I attempt to send it in.

I'm waiting for a few years to buy another version, because I really can't stand this one.… Expand

    By focusing on the Michael Owens, EA've forgotten the Gary Nevilles - capturing the magic, but fluffing the basics. [PSM2]

    The lack of depth makes it a tough buy.

    I’m sorry to say but FIFA World Cup 2002 is game to catch consumers when they get cup fever rather a game to provide the ultimate World Cup experience.
