PS2 2002 FIFA World Cup

Product detailed description

The only soccer game licensed to use the official insignia and mascots of the 2002 World Cup and 20 new World Cup stadiums in Japan and Korea promises to capture all the excitement of the tournament. Teams will meet with a growing tide of crowd excitement with thousands of fans sporting team colors, country-specific chants, and an explosion of special effects, including lasers, confetti, streamers, and flags.

FIFA World Cup 2002 is based on a series of seven games, starting with a round-robin tournament, followed by playoffs leading to the final match with a progressive storyline and increasing intensity as you advance; you'll find realistic representations of all the star players, combined with the exceptional individual talents that characterize their real-life playing styles. The new game features intuitive headers, volleys, scissor kicks, juggling, and more. Showboating and high-tempo, high-impact play is immediate from the first touch of the ball, and new animations from one player to another lead to aggressive ball-snatching on the ground and in the air.

Key dramatic moments during the tournament are highlighted with epic cinematics—player animations, original scores by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, and special effects underscore the emotional range of the game with increasing intensity as the games become more important. New camera angles and shots capture the intensity of World Cup games as they dramatize near-miss shots, fouls, and goals by focusing on players' facial animations as they become frustrated and fall to their knees.
