NCAA Football 2002 takes the same graphics, gameplay, and physics engines as Madden 2002 and adds the unmistakable feel of college football. The game plays exactly like Madden with slight improvements to the already strong graphics. You can choose from 144 NCAA teams (117 Division 1-A and 27 Division 1-AA) and compete in one of the 26 postseason bowl games, complete with corporate sponsors (FedEx Orange Bowl). Stat junkies are sure to love this game; in addition to the usual performance stats, it keeps track of AP top 25, coach's top 25, BCS rankings, All-American awards, and more.As mentioned earlier, the gameplay is identical to Madden's. It has a high degree of realism that purists will enjoy, but fans of faster, arcade-style games might not care for. This is one of the few games that uses every button on the PlayStation2 controller--casual gamers might be intimidated by the complex controls. Also like Madden, there are a number of unstoppable plays that can nullify any defense. From a technical standpoint, this game doesn't offer enough improvements to warrant its purchase if you already own Madden. However, if you don't own Madden or love college football, this is the game to buy. --Raymond M. Padilla
Pros: Sharp presentation Extremely realistic gameplay A deluge of statistics to track Cons: Complex controls A few cheap, unstoppable plays Too slow for fans of arcade sports games
