This Is Football is Sony Computer Entertainment's entry into a video game market that is dominated by Konami's International Superstar Soccer Evolution and Electronic Arts FIFA series. Ask any football game veteran and they will confirm that in comparison, FIFA takes a more aesthetic and arcade approach to the beautiful game, whereas ISS Evolution was designed with greater authenticity and simulation in mind. The beauty of TIF lies in the fact that it falls somewhere between both of these gaming ideals.TIF 2002, like it's Playstation One predecessors, is easy enough to master within a few games, without an intensive review of the manual. This is it's appeal, if you want to subscribe to a few quick games with friends,

I was unsure about getting this game after having this is football 2 for PSone which was just awful the graphics where laughable and the team edit section was a joke having to load each team you edited one by one.Thankfully all that has changed the graphics are stunning for the photo realistic players and the other players are just as good as fifa 2001 there are also numbers on the front of the shirts and the shorts as well as player names on the backs which makes just a little bit more realistic. The team edit section has changed as well the kit edit is better than ever and now when the game starts it loads all the teams you have edited.The gameplay is better than fifa by a mile and 2 player

This is footy is a good game to buy for any football fan. It is very realistic but can be frustrating. Taking on a player is very difficult and running towards goal normally involves you getting tackled but that is what makes it realistic. One of the most frustrating parts of the game is that when an attacking player is running through on goal the defenders usually catch up to you and make a challenge. So the trick of this game is to play through balls using triangle this enables players to run on to the ball and score. Diving is a good and new option on this football game. You can dive by pressing R2 but make sure it is at the right time because you can get booked by the ref for a delibrate dive if you dive at the wrong time.

Well, being the ultimate football fan, quite apart from our Mottie or Statto, this was a must for me. Although I normally dont listen to the pre-release tripe that invariably seems to ebb its way on to 'reputable' games websites, you could be forgiven for taking just a sneak preview at some of them. They obviously glorified it, but the time honoured 'buy it to believe it' line, was all too apparent there too.So I trotted off to my local emporium, 50 squid in hand like a child holding a melting icecream, and promptly forked over. I got home, loaded my PS2 paying utmost attention to the instructions in the front of the booklet (as IF!) and the rest of the last month has just been somewhat of a blur.

I think this game is excellant.I only really play footy games, and, if I do say so myself, am something of an expert on them (I know my ISS's from my Libero Grandes to Sensibles,... etc etc). This is a great arcade footy game, when I first picked it up I thought it was a bit simple, but thats its brilliance, give it say 2 days of play and loads of intricies show up. In many magazine reviews, they complain that players such as Giggs arnt visibly faster as they should be etc, this is twaddle...if they bothered to practise the dribbling and knock ons then they would find that it was as life. I really feel like standing up big time for this game, it may not be as technical as the forthcoming, ISS,

Well, some aspects of this game are brilliant and some are terrible. All of the big named stars are instantly recognisable with brilliant facial attributes. The commentary is on the whole pretty disappointing with glimmers of brilliance. What happened to keepers having names and he won't say the score above 3. 35 yards out and had a terrific shot which shaved the post and he said "That was terrible, so close and he's blasted it wide!" Also, since when have Arsenal been called Highbury? That's right, they don't have the licence for real team names, although players do. The graphics are cool with great backgrounds and stadia. Hook your PS2 up to your stereo and you'll be amazed at the authentic crowd reactions and chants.

This Is Football 2002 is a decent game of football, no question. The graphics are very smooth with very few glitches, and a lot of the players have photo-realisitc faces that actually make them look like that player. Makes a change eh? The lifespan of the game is also very long, with 'Timewarp' teams i.e. 50's Madrid and school teams alongside the Premier and Divison one's of most leagues in Europe. There is pretty much every national team in the game, and also an option to create your own team. Endless amounts of kicking about to be had here. But does the gameplay do the rest of the game justice? In a word, yes. The gameplay is slick, with decent ball control and player movement.

Anyone who says that This Is Football 2002 is not THE best football game out has obviously never watched a game of football in their life. The brilliance of this game, unlike FIFA, is that passes do not go to feet unless the ball is executed properly. Whilst this game will not appeal to gamers who do not enjoy watchinge greatest sport in the world, any football lover will be amazed by the realism within this gamein my opinion this game got a lot of undeserved criticism for the ease of scoring. FOR CHRISTS SAKE, this is meant to be realistic, how many 40 yard goals do u see in real football. no disrespect to FIFA, they've held the title for long enough, but finally their is a realistic football game.

This game outstands graphically from all soccer games (Fifa 2002 and ISS)on the PS2, come to think of it on all platforms. I love my football and when I found out that my wife got me this title as a christmas present I wasnt at first impressed to try another footy game after playing an even poorer attempt for this years FIFA 2002 and the unbeatable ISS, but team soho has really come up with a shocker of a game. Its not perfect in all areas. The animations needs to be polished as well as the AI. The game has an easy pick up and play arcade feel which isnt too complicated as ISS and has tones of hot atmosphere. The pro players look amazing.I have had a blinding christmas with the 4 player multi tap option with my mates (ManU 3 Tottenham 1).

Having owned the previous release of this is football i was a bit apprehensive in buying this version. The old version failed, miserably, in gameplay, shooting and passing was very poor with no control. But this newer version has been amazingly polished up, the gameplay is emmense with more space on the pitch to pass and good shooting. The thing that impressed the most is the graphics, they are suberb, the players actually look like they should, Beckham looks identical and even runs and shoots like he does.This game utilises the ps2's power wonderfully, it's a joy to watch and play. A must for all footy fans, Its the closest you'll get to the real thing.

This is most deinitely the best football game on the market at the moment. As soon as the other team score, you really want to win, and its not that easy either. I have just moved up to World, on the skill level, after a week of playing on the pro level, I am still finding it tough. Master Class is ridiculously impossible for me at the moment! Edgar Davids, Zidane, Ronaldo and Beckham all are accurate in the way they run, shoot and play. This is scores 99% on the playability rating. Only thing is the camera angles leave a lot to be desired, if you haven't got 21" inch TV or bigger, you cant see the players on the far touchline. Wicked gaming though.

This is the best footie game that I have played for the PS2 ( I have played FIFA 2002 and ISS).I think that this game is in a league of its own, I played the demo (from the demo disc that Sony give you with the PS2) and the next day I brought it.You want a good football game, easy to control (from an experienced console football player! and compared to FIFA 2002), want to recognise your fav footballers when they score, want to keep the team up to date by tranfering players, then buy TIF2002, highly recommended!

Just about every single team you ever wanted, lots of weather conditions, stadiums and referees makes a great game. There's plenty of options or special moves like shimmies, step overs and even the old fashion dive. Theres plenty of shooting styles and plenty of tackles to be done. Theres plenty of game play and difficulty levels as well as plenty of cups including a chance to build your own team. The game is one that you just don't get bored of playing, no matter how long you have it for.

I bought this before FIFA 2002 came out and I liked it alot, especially the graphics. The gamplay is also really good because you have to depend on good passing rather than individual play. The timing of your tackles must also be spot on just like in real football. The graphics are superb. Beckham and Rivaldo are just like they are in real life. If I compare this game to FIFA 2002 there is no question this is the game to buy.

A very good kick about and will certainly fill the gap in the PS2 football market until Pro Evolution Soccer comes out. Some problems with the AI of your team mates making it hard work to get an attack going at times but games are kept exciting.
