2002 Fifa World Cup - PS2

The only football game licensed to use the official 2002 FIFA World Cup insignia and mascots, and the 20 new World Cup stadiums in Japan and Korea, promises to capture all the excitement of the tournament. Teams will be met with a rising tide of crowd excitement with thousands of fans sporting team colours, country-specific chants, and an explosion of special effects including lasers, confetti, streamers and flags. 2002 FIFA World Cup is based around a seven-game series beginning with round-robin play, followed by playoffs leading to the final match with a progressive story line and a rising intensity as you advance; you'll find lifelike representations of all the star players, combined with the exceptional individual talents that characterise their style of play in real life. Accessible new gameplay delivers intuitive one-button headers, volleys, scissor kicks, juggling and more. Showboating and high-tempo, high-impact play is straightforward from the first touch of the ball, and new player-to-player animations result in aggressive jostling for the ball both on the ground and in the air. Key dramatic moments during the tournament are highlighted by epic cinematics--player animations, original scores by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and special effects underscore the emotional range of play with increasing intensity as games become more important. New camera angles and replays capture the intensity of World Cup games as they dramatise nearly missed shots, fouls and goals by focusing on players' facial animations as they grimace and fall to their knees in frustration or pump their fists and cheer in celebration of a goal.
