This game is amazing it have good graphics it have the best gameplay of all FIFA series and it have all the teams and stadiums of the world cup 2002 Including Seoul stadium which is the best one for me ,but this game is a must have game

This is the best soccer game available for the Ps one! Great graphics and fun gameplay make this a must-buy! However, if you own a better system, such as a PS2, XBOX, or GAMECUBE, i reccommend getting it there instead. i also wish that tis series would have evolved more. it is hard to notice differences between this, FIFA SOCCER 2002, and FIFA SOCCER 2001. good game.

This game is simply terrible for a number of reasons. 20 stadiums--the only difference you notice is the ads on the sideline (some stadiums have more McDonnalds ads, while others emphasize adidas and yahoo). You can only play with groups that are predetermined. So if you play with England, you will always start out with the same group, over and over and over again. The only extra teams available are not even in the top ten group (Holland is not there altogether, for example). The commentaries are 80% directly from FIFA 2002, which are 80% from FIFA 2001. The graphics and gameplay is likewise. Playing on the highest difficulty setting, I won the world cup with Tunisia on the first try. The computer oppenent had 5 red cards. As a matter of fact, I have not played a game without any red cards yet--red cards punishing AI. Furthermore, the developers have no concenpt of advantage play. Most of the goals scored were penalty shots. It's not fun winning 5-1 when the five goals are scored by penalties. AI will attack you as soon as you enter the penalty area and get a red card. Free kicks stink--you can never make a decent effort. No effort was put into this game. I would not spend a dollar on the game if I could play it in advance. It seems that EA produced this game overnight, without putting any efforts into it. If they had a grain of honesty, they would have included the world cup in FIFA 2002. I was very opptimistic when I purchased the game, and a day later, I could not be more disappointed. EA should be ashamed of this indecency.

EA is the leader in sports related games. With Madden and their soccor games they have truly led the way in the team sports market of video games. Their soccer games have been great, but have remained basically the same for the last 3 years. This version actually attempts, but fails in adding that extra something. The shooting is absurd, the longer you hold the button the stronger the kick. This makes no sense...you can physically kick harder with a swift boot, not rev-up and slow down. As usual the goal-keeping in EA soccer games is terrible. You have little to no control a goalie...it is a real bummer.

Nothing new here, just the same material released the previous 3-5 years.

Best game ever. It has the grooviest moves and supreme action. If you are a socccer fan then get this game. Even if you want to p[lay a few hours. This is your dream game.Get It.

After 6+ years of experience with the FIFA series (since 1995), I have to tell you only one, wise, thing:

Fifa 98-RTWC was "the last of the mohicans". (soccerwise)

Throw fifa 2002 in the dumpster and try Evolution Pro Soccer.
(or keep playing a good but ARCADE game...)

I love playing sports games, but this is the most boring game I have ever played in my entire lifetime. I only did one soccer game, and I turned it off within five minutes. Trust me, don't waste your money on this dumb video game!

THIS GAME IS NO GOOD! The case lies and shows that there is neat graphics for the game when actually it is a blur! The people are really fuzzy. The action is sluggish and the people move slowly. The introduction is cool but unfortunately that is the best part...it all goes downhill from there. Don't waste your money on this game. EA can do better than this!
