ESPN International Winter Sports 2002 is a sports video game for the Game Boy Advance that features ten winter sports events. Players can engage in Ski Jumping, Alpine Skiing, Freestyle Skiing, Short Track Speed Skating, Figure Skating, Snowboarding, Biathlon, and Luge. The game offers trials, full competitions, and an excite mode, emphasizing fast button pressing and precise timing to achieve medals and set record times.
Take on the world in 10 different events. Compete in two forms of Ski Jumping (K=90 and K=120), Alpine Skiing Downhill, Freestlye Skiing Moguls, Short Track 500 (skating), Figure Skating, Snowboard G Slalom, Snowboarding Halfpipe, Biathlon, and the Luge.
You can compete in trials of each event, the competition of all 10 events, or in excite mode. Try for medals from each event. See if you can come in first in all events, and then try to beat your own records.
Events require pressing buttons quickly for speed, pressing buttons in the right order at the right time to do tricks, and turning. The Figure Skating event is very much like the Dance Dance series of games.
