Description

Released as This Is Football 2002 in Europe, World Tour Soccer 2002 features over 300 international and club teams as well as 5,000 authentic players. Game modes include Quick Game, where teams are automatically selected, Exhibition, and three styles of competitions: National Season, Special Competition, and International Competition. Players also have the option to edit existing teams or create new ones, customizing uniforms, team names, flags, and players. National Season includes multiple leagues for the right to win a variety of cups, which can be stored in a special Trophy Case for later viewing. Before embarking on a season, players can select a home stadium, season length, difficulty level, and length of the match from four to 20 minutes. Special Competitions are separate tournaments featuring six options: Superteam Competition, which is akin to an All-Star Game, Timewarp League and Cup, which blends great teams from the 1950s to the 1990s, Jumpers 4 Posts, where school teams compete on playgrounds, Custom League, and Custom Cup. International Competition follows a similar format to the other two competitions, only this time the tournaments are for the right to win Euro and America Cups. Once the game begins, players can further adjust various options, such as whether or not fouls are called, the type of referee (fair, strict, or blind), draw ruling (tie or sudden death), injuries, offsides as well as time of day and weather conditions for stadiums. British announcer Peter Drury calls the action from the booth as players compete on the field.
