2002 FIFA World Cup, sometimes known as FIFA World Cup 2002, is the second EA Sports official World Cup video game developed by EA Canada and Creations, with Intelligent Games assisting for PS2, Xbox, Windows, and Nintendo GameCube platform and Tose Software also assisting the GameCube version, the game was published by EA Sports in North America and Europe and published by Electronic Arts Victor in Japan.

An amalgamation between the game engines of FIFA Football 2002 and FIFA Football 2003, the game still incorporates the power bar for shots and crosses but with a steeper learning curve and customisation of the chances of being penalised by the match referee. Some kits are licensed, along with player likeness and the stadia of the 2002 FIFA World Cup. Unlike the previous games in the FIFA series, the game had an original soundtrack performed by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. It was released for Windows, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox. It was a launch title for GameCube in Europe.

The game features each of the 32 teams that qualified for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, and 9 teams that did not qualify.

Column-generating template families

The templates listed here are not interchangeable. For example, using {{col-float}} with {{col-end}} instead of {{col-float-end}} would leave a <div>...</div> open, potentially harming any subsequent formatting.

GameRankings and Metacritic gave it a score of 79% and 80 out of 100 for the PC version;[1][6] 76.58% and 73 out of 100 for the PlayStation 2 version;[2][10] 76.05% and 79 out of 100 for the Xbox version;[3][7] 73.59% and 78 out of 100 for the GameCube version;[4][8] and 68.75% and 77 out of 100 for the PlayStation version.[5][9] In Japan, Famitsu gave the GameCube, PS2, and Xbox versions each a score of 30 out of 40.[13][14][15]

The PlayStation 2 version of 2002 FIFA World Cup received a "Gold" sales award from the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA),[42] indicating sales of at least 200,000 copies in the United Kingdom.[43]

Lawsuit

Bayern Munich and German international goalkeeper Oliver Kahn successfully sued Electronic Arts for their inclusion of him in the game without his prior consent despite EA reaching an agreement with FIFPro, the body that represents all FIFA players. As a result, EA was banned from selling copies of the game in Germany and was forced to financially compensate Kahn.[44]
