Summary

World Cup 2002 is the official video game of the 17th FIFA World Cup, which took place in Korea and Japan from May 31 to June 30. It utilizes the engine from FIFA Soccer 2002, allowing seasoned FIFA gamers to pick it up quickly. The game is centered around the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan and features all the qualifying nations, along with many additional teams. Each country comes with small statistical details, such as their largest victory and World Cup appearances. The stadiums and players are highly detailed. The players are rendered with such high-resolution textures that most can be easily recognized. The stadiums are large and visually striking, filled with a vibrant, colorful crowd. Like FIFA Soccer 2002, the animations are based on real players captured using motion sensors. New animations have been added, including improved sliding and falling movements. The latest addition in 2002 FIFA World Cup is the aerial ball control system. Players can now control the ball in the air with greater precision, enabling spectacular goals from mid-air.
