    A stripped-down rehash of the excellent "FIFA 2002."

    I take issue with my offensive players' lack of motivation. [July 2002, p.103]

    While the gameplay is still as entertaining as ever, the game just lacks too many secondary features--both in comparison with "FIFA 2002" and even with other versions of 2002 FIFA World Cup--to make it worthwhile for anyone but the biggest World Cup fan.

I was stupid to buy it though. Rent it, believe me you might want to buy it after you played it once but soon this game will seem like crap!… Expand
