Posted by Joe New FIFA 2002 ScreenshotsWe here at Soccer Gaming have got our hands on a copy of the full, ready to be released version of FIFA 2002 for the PC. I've been playing it for a solid day now and although I will have a full review up tomorrow, let me tell you this... you're in for a challenge. This year EA has taken FIFA 2002 to a whole new difficulty level. Where as in FIFA 2001 I would have won in World Class mode, I am now struggling to score a goal in Professional mode. On top of this, FIFA 2002 does not feel like the same FIFA we've come to know over the past 5 years. This is a whole new feeling game and one I am certainly enjoying. We've just uploaded 34 high-res screenshots over at our FIFA 2002 preview site. Two are pictured below.   Head to www.fifa2002.com for all the new action shots. Stay tuned as we'll have a full and very detailed review of FIFA 2002 up tomorrow along with more screenshots... inparticular shots of the menus, team kits, stadia and options. Everyone at our Soccer Gaming Forums has caught FIFA 2002 fever. Make sure you head there today to give your opinion on what FIFA 2002 will be like. I'm also personally answering question on the game there. Posted by Matt | Have Your Shout | Tuesday, October 9, 2001FIFA 2002 NewsFIFA Italia have recently uploaded the second movie they took as the big ECTS show.

In other FIFA 2002 news I have received a review copy of FIFA 2002 meaning we'll have literally 100's of new screenshots uploaded for you over the next few days. I'll even be putting together my own review and I know Joe, who is expecting to receive a copy of the game any day now, will have his own review ready shortly too. FIFA 2002 Online is taking shape with a really cool, modern new design and some excellent features. We're hoping the site will be ready for launch in 1-2 weeks. EA have also let us know that the FIFA 2002 demo is being tested and should be out early next week.
