An amalgamation between the game engines of [[FIFA Football 2002|FIFA 2002]] and [[FIFA Football 2003|FIFA 2003]], the game still incorporates the power bar for shots and crosses but with a steeper [[learning curve]] and higher chances of being penalized by the match [[Referee (association football)|referee]]. The national team kits are accurate 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 [[Wikipedia:Vancouver Symphony Orchestra|Vancouver Symphony Orchestra]]. It was released for [[Microsoft Windows]], [[PlayStation]], [[PlayStation 2]], [[GameCube]], and [[Xbox]]. ==Reception== '''2002 FIFA World Cup''' received fairly positive reviews. [[GameSpot]] gave the [[GameCube]] version 7.4, while [[IGN]] gave it a 8.2/10. [[GameRankings]] gave it 80%. ==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. {{FIFA}}
