Ce sont les fans qui vont être déçus. C'est triste mais il vaut encore mieux ressortir l'antique Future Shock que d'investir dans ce titre ennuyeux au possible. A ce stade, ce n'est même plus bourrin, c'est fade et sans intérêt. Enfin, si vraiment l'ambiance vous manque..

Une belle embardée que ce Formula One 2002 qui nous prouve qu'au lieu de payer de grosses licences, certains feraient mieux de payer de gros développeurs. Alors, certes il y a du mieux vis à vis de l'opus 2001, mais aujourd'hui il y a surtout une concurrence féroce. Oubliez cette pathétique tentative qui ne séduira ni les fans, ni les néophytes et ruez-vous sur l'universel et superbe F1 2002. Electronic Arts reste en pole position.

Un titre qui déçoit à bien des niveaux, réalisation très moyenne, gameplay un peu fade et sensations limitées, il y a fort à parier qu'il ne restera pas longtemps dans la ludothèque des fans de jeux de courses aboutis.

Ancora una volta Sony e Studio 33 si dimostrano i migliori nel campo delle simulazioni di Formula Uno e se siete degli appassionati non fatevi scappare questo gioco anche perchè all'orizzonte non ci sono titoli all'altezza di questo!

In my opinion FIFA 2003 fixed things in 2002 World Cup that weren't necessarily problems. Nonetheless FIFA 2003 is a fine soccer game and should grab everybody's attention on its own merits because it does capture even more of what makes pro soccer so appealing. That's every sports videogame's job. If you didn't fall for the World Cup edition this past summer or if you can put that game's feel and control out of your mind, then you'll find FIFA 2003 to be worth the trouble of leaning a new system. There are still major holes like an underutilized Freestyle Control system, no non-competitive game modes and a lack of customization features (no create-an-anything or weather/time of day control) holding FIFA back from being the definitive soccer game. With virtually no competition, until one of Konami's fine soccer games makes it to Xbox in North America I have to recommend this soccer game for sports gamers looking for another non-stop end to end game.

Awesome football action with incredible graphics. The game has tons of features that'll keep you playing. Saving and loading is quick and easy with the hard drive. Lack of network play is a disappointment given the nature of the XBOX.

Shenmue was one of my favorite Dreamcast games, one I had trouble putting down. The sequel, while new to the US, feels almost outdated. The voice-acting is bad, the graphics are not on the level of other Xbox games, and Shenmue II never involved me as much as the original. In fact, a lot of the things set up in the original don't come to bear in Shenmue II until several hours into the game, leaving an odd disconnection from the first game for the first couple of hours. There's very little back story offered in the game itself, so anyone who hasn't played the original and doesn't watch the included Shenmue Movie may find themselves wondering what the big deal is. There's been no additional set-up added to the game. Where the original eased you into the fighting system, explaining moves to you, showing you you needed to practice regularly, and letting you get your feet wet before diving into serious battles, Shenmue II assumes that you've played the original. If you haven't, it may come off as a bit confusing, or more likely, a bit frustrating. Though some new graphical tweaks and cosmetic features have been added, the game is a relatively straight port from the Dreamcast version. Even though there's a lot more fighting and QTEs than in the original, Shenmue II suffers from a bit too much meandering. It would have been nice to see the story take off a bit quicker, because in all honesty, I really just wanted to learn more about Lan Di and the Phoenix Mirror. While you had to work at the docks driving forklifts in the original, it had a purpose -- you were trying to ferret out some baddies. But here, you work because you need the cash. To make a story strong and compelling, though, everything needs to be more directly tied into the main focus. Otherwise, it feels a bit pointless. Shenmue II is a good game and a definite pick-up for RPG fans, but more should have been done with this sequel to make it more accessible to those who never played the original. It has its faults, for sure, but it is a unique experience. It's certainly a love or hate type of game, which means that you should only buy it if slightly open-ended RPGs appeal to you. The only real bummer is that there seem to be no plans for a third installment, which could make this one heck of a long cliffhanger.
