2002 FIFA World Cup suffers from the old "one step forward, two steps back" problem. The game controls, looks, and sounds better than FIFA 2002, but with only two modes and very few options it feels a whole lot more limited. Even the token Friendly mode seems more like an afterthought than a full-fledged game mode -- you actually have to select your stadium, time of day, and other settings in the options menu before you go into the Friendly mode. Strange. Like EA's own SSX Tricky, World Cup features "behind-the-scenes" FMV content. In the case of the GameCube version, you'll find three documentary featurettes about the World Cup, soccer in general, and the fans. It's nice that EA spent some time and money on giving gamers some background on what the tournament is all about, but I wish more time was spent on adding more gameplay modes instead of a handful of shortlived documentaries. Still, it's a neat little extra bonus that helps establish the game as the only official, licensed game of the World Cup. If you're getting swept up in the excitement surrounding the tournament and you're looking for a great soccer game to help you relive your favorite moments, you certainly can't do wrong with 2002 FIFA World Cup. Like its predecessor, it's a fun soccer game that delivers both single-player and multi-player action. But if it's longevity you want, go for last year's FIFA -- you can probably pick it up for a better price, too.

Et dire qu'il faut convertir un jeu Dreamcast de presque deux ans pour obtenir enfin un jeu de tennis digne de ce nom sur PC... Virtua Tennis en dépit de son aspect sans doute un peu trop arcade devrait faire le bonheur des fans de tennis qui découvriront un titre à la réalisation soignée et au gameplay de haut vol.

Goemon's GBA debut starts off slow, but gets better as you delve deeper into the game. Sadly, you can never quite shake the feeling that you've seen everything before -- but with more interesting characters and more original level design. As a part of the Goemon franchise, New Age is a bit of a disappointment. It's a competent sidescroller that shows glimpses of Konami's past genius here and there, but never comes close to the quality of the old SNES sidescrollers. I hope that after this brief trip into the future, Konami brings the Goemon franchise back to its roots or even re-releases the much more charming SNES Goemon games on GBA -- complete with 2-player link-up gameplay, of course.
