"this is football 2002"

i was thinking of getting it but some of my mates said it was a load of crap i would appreciate it if you would tell me about it and should i get it

Well heres a list of the games which I think are the most serious and lifelike and whatever down to the most arcadey and stuff.

Pro Evolution
ISS2
TIF
Fifa's

Blah Blah Blah........

Hmm, i will admit i have not played a TIF game, but i really think if you want another football game right now to pass away the time till Pro Evo 2 (if your planning on getting this) then ISS 2 is well worth a look.

I wont go into detail here as i already have a topic in here somewhere on it, but its well worth a look, maybe be better than TIF 2002, who knows.

Hurrah!

I havnt been impressed by a football game other than ISS/Pro Evo for a long time now. But I loved this game when I played the demo. The passing was quite smooth, I felt the shooting was pretty good and the atmoshphere was top notch (especially after making good tackles the crowd starts cheering for you).

The control system is indeed easy to get used to and the game generally offers a great arcade experience. I liked the demo a lot and I think I will buy the game in the next few weeks. One of the things going for it, just like most of you said, is an exceptional array of tournaments and leagues to get your teeth into. In my opinion this is the 2nd best football game on the PS2

It's ok.

Pro Evo is soo much better mind you.

hhhmmm, well its not that I disagree, its just that im not into those really serious games like Pro Evolution. Id much rather have a game to play for the fun of it and not want to go into so much trouble to do everything if you know what I meen.
The only reason I claimed it was because I just wanted a simple football game to have fun with and it was the only game that was in my price range.

For £20, i'd say get it. Its easily worth that much.

Its up to you though, if you like it or not.

Dont mind me though.......

*walks off*

Glad you said you were only joking........

Now im going to read what you said........

tsk tsk you fool hercules! Nah only joking. right this is just my opinion ok so well dont take it to heart.

right i have had the game for almost a year now so i know what im on about. it completely and utterly stinks. from the passing to shooting the whole concept is an absolute joke. Having said that the players do look fantasticly realistic which although maybe a nice feature is not really needed-just look at pro evo.

secondly, the stadiums are aslo a nice feature. however, there is no freedom to shoot from outside the area. it may just me being cr@p at teh game but it is impossible to score without being less than 10 yards out.

anyway, i dont think you should get it, especially if you have pro evo (do you?) then it would be pointless.

im sure herc will dissagree......

Yes, they must be......

Well I find them pretty easy anyways.

You can most probably switch them round a bit to what you like aswell if they are not right for you.

I dont usually do that though and just stick with what they tell me.
