NFL Fever 2002

"One of THE best football games out there"

I thought Fever was one of THE best football games out there. I still play it to this day and still can't get enough of it. There are so many options in the game that don't get you tired of it like the fantasy challenge, the dynasty mode and so on.

The gameplay is better then Madden 02, it's faster yet not arcadeish. It is presented better then Madden 02 also. In Madden I thought that everything seemed cluttered or out of place but with Fever it seems just right like it's very easy to do everything. Something that I think should have been in Fever that wasn't is the Challenge feature I loved that in Madden and hope they have it in Fever 03.

The dynasty mode is fantastic, IMO one of the best out there. It makes it easy for you and still you just can't get bored of it. I'm on the 4th season with the Rams and still have not gotten tired of The Faulk :).

The graphics are also just beyond amazing I mean you could see the arena on the players' helmets. Also the uniforms are amazing too they just look like there real and not just some piece of crap you see in other games. The arenas in the game are just like the arenas you see on the TV. THe grass and turf look great and you can see the different players on the sidelines and stuff.

The sound in the game is good but the commentary can get a little repeative. I like the main menu song and the intro is also incredible. The in-game music is good and you can even here some player voices in the game some even sound like the real player so you never know heh.

I just love this game and highly suggest you go out there and buy it right away. I mean if you are a Madden fan and you just try out Fever I know you'll like it because it's a football game but with so many things that make it run smooth. Also get Fever 03 which comes out in August.

Pros
-Overall Gameplay
-Dynasty Mode
-Graphics

Cons
-Sound
-No Texans :(

I hope everyone that read this decides that Fever is for them I know that it isn't put together as good as the rest of the reviews but this is my first and I'll try to make it better. Thanks for reading and enjoy your gaming.
