Game Zone reviews

Does the future always have to be miserable? If Project Eden, right, is anything to go by, yes.

You play three cops tracking down robots gone berserk. The game mixes a touch of urban decay, a pinch of gunplay and a heap of location-based puzzles. To beat these, you'll need to play to your specialists' strengths: Andre can fix things, Minoko is a hacker and Amber the robot can walk through toxic spills and fires. Switch between bodies as you need to, manoeuvring the right person to the right place at the right time. And the dystopian locations and brain-intensive gameplay make for a change from the trigger-twitching norm.

7/10; Eidos ( www.projectedengame.com ), around £30.

FIFA 2002 The FIFA franchise is the grand old warhorse of footie games. While other titles come and go, each year brings another FIFA. So should you buy a new one when chances are you've already got three in the cupboard?

This year, yes. The classic gameplay is still there, with easy controls and clear graphics. But new touches such as re-vamped passing controls and a more complex, but risky, tackling system add real depth to this game.

8/10; EA Sports ( www.fifa2002.ea.com ), around £30.
