NFL Fever 2002
SCORE: 80
I was digging through some old documents
and saw a reference to the NFL Fever franchise. So I went out and
purchased NFL Fever 2002, NFL Fever 2003, and NFL Fever 2004 for ten
dollars. That included shipping. It is a shame that Microsoft gets no
money from that purchase, and won’t from anyone who buys this football
game thanks to this review. If they had provided Family Friendly Gaming
a copy of the game when it was launched they could have made money.
This original Xbox game impresses me on multiple levels. The graphics
look great, many of the comments are great, and the various options are
awesome. This is one packed, full, fantastic football game.
I have two issues with NFL Fever 2002. The first is the horrendous music
that plays at the intro. Those rappers are known for being profane,
rude, ugly, mean, nasty, and hate filled. I did not appreciate their
music. The second is the enticement to lust in the intro and how the
cheerleaders gyrate on the sidelines in the games. Was that necessary?
Couldn’t the ESRB find a word to describe it?
There is one other irritating thing in FL Fever 2002. Between plays
there is this drum sound (Which can be turned off in the settings). That
sound annoyed me greatly. I did not mind the Seahawk sound after making
a good play. Yes I played the Seattle Seahawks. I hope to have a video
of them in the Super Bowl in this game by the time this review goes
online.
The presentation in NFL Fever 2002 is fantastic. I love how the kick
offs are shown. I love the various play selection, as well as the
recommended plays. There are nuances in FL Fever 2002 like poor plays
being picked. Announcers would make comments that did not always fit the
situation. All in all this is a wonderful football game from the past.
