Fifa 2002 certainly isn’t as bad as last year’s version, but when push comes to illegal slide tackle, it’s not a great deal better and still doesn’t even come close to "ISS PE1" let alone "ISSPE2" in terms of realism, depth, and fun-factor, and both of those games are for the PSOne!

The excellent legacy mode is already there, so the game is just a few gameplay tweaks away from greatness.

The AI is a pushover, the course design is rather bland, the trackside graphics are blander, and the game length is too short.

My main complaint with the AI is that it is often way too easy to beat in the traditional racing modes. The racing tends to suffer because of the ease of the game.

Like many of the also-rans, it failed primarily to the questionable secondary AI. There are some bright spots in the game.

The game becomes nothing more than a button masher.

Personally, the game started out enjoyable and still is, but I have a feeling I will start to get frustarted with the rebounding and missing short shots too often in the near future.

It really is a shame that Midway and Black Box included such blatant computer assist since it ruins the longevity of what would otherwise be a solid game.

If you liked Fifa 2001 then I'm sure you'll like this year's incarnation; however, those who've found the Fifa series disappointing in recent times should steer well clear.

A new, non-Fifa (i.e. non-totally crap) soccer experience for North American soccer fans and, as I said before, it's not a horrible game - on the lower difficulty levels it's reasonably fun and it also has a ton of teams and competitions.

If it weren't for the remarkable performance of the play-by-play duo this score would be much lower. If you can somehow master the entire manual switching and controlling, Slugfest might be a fun game. I just can't get over how frustrating the game was.

A decent game that makes you crave more. More AI riders, more options, more depth. If it had these things it would be a must-buy title.

Suffers from a poor control scheme and sketchy fielding. This arcade title lacks the depth of simulation-based baseball games and ultimately strikes out.

Too many quirks in the AI to be considered an accurate simulation of basketball. However, NBA Live 2002 does give you an enjoyable multiplayer game with friends.

A bare bones arcade basketball game short on simulation elements and long on minor flaws.

The stereotypical supermodel would be a good way to describe this title. The first few moments spent with Wreckless will really impress, but once you start investigating a little you'll notice a lack of substance.

Well below average when compared to other all-text sports games. The interface is too multilateral, while there is a feeling that you have little impact on the simulated games.

For me, I will stick with "Madden." "Gameday 2001" is still stuck in training camp.

A game with so much potential, Supercross 2001 is ultimately disappointing, and hopefully EA Sports can fix the framerate and some of the other problems for the next incarnation.

The online capability is a step in the right direction, but I think the game needs a complete overhaul of its interface and feature list to once again recapture its spot on the top of the hill.

If you are looking for a football game that will entertain you for the long run, NFL Blitz is not a good choice, especially with games like "Madden 2001" out there.

Besides a few cosmetic changes, nothing appears to have changed from last year's game. People buying MM2K1 who own MM2K are probably being suckered into purchasing a $40 roster patch.

While Shootout 2001 is not a bad game, it's not as good as "Live 2001" for the PSX.

While the graphics hold up their end, the gameplay just isn't there for simulation fans to keep them satisfied for the long haul.

Hardcore racing fans might get a kick out of it, but the rest of the crowd would get content just beating it over a couple day rental.

The limited number of race modes and rudimentary career mode limit the replay value of the game. So while the game is fun, its fun is limited.

The AI flaws and problems with vehicle control bring the title down. The career mode is an interesting but not enough to maintain the title.
