Is FIFA Soccer 2002 still worth playing in 2026?

The first FIFA available on GameCube, this 2002 vintage focused on the World Cup qualifiers bets on the official licence, up to date rosters and presentation polished for its day. The game falters with stiff animation and limited artificial intelligence, soon outpaced by rivals. The fun stays arcade and accessible. Today its interest is mostly historical. For a fan of the licence or someone curious about FIFA's start on the console, the title keeps a benchmark value.
