    An outstanding game, with excellent gameplay and a deep set of features. Finally, the PS2 has a genuine A+ sports title.

    This game can suck you in and never let you out - and you may not want to come out. ...this is football at its best.

    Offering a compelling mix of solid graphics and college-specific gameplay, along with the best dynasty mode to date -- NCAA Football 2002 is without competition.

    Light years ahead of "GameBreaker 2001," and, for all its faults, is still a game that most PS2 owners -- myself included -- will thoroughly enjoy.
  6. GameSpot
    86
    Certain gameplay issues aside, as with its NFL counterpart, NCAA Football 2002 is oozing with a variety of features and gameplay options.

    It's one of the best sports games on the PS2, and it's definitely the best college game around.

    An amazing game. My friend and I bought it the day it came out and haven't put it down yet. Can't wait for 2003!

    "The Coach" Lee Corso has to be proud to be a part of this game. Hometowns for recruits are the icing on the cake! Who researches this stuff?

    After playing every football game since "1st & 10" in the early 80's, Madden 2002 for PS2 is by far the best football game ever. A must-have.
