Just like its predecessor, Sky Sports Football Quiz Season 02 is a quiz game that tests the player's knowledge of football.

The player is able to choose between four modes; Penalty Shootout, where the player has to answer questions correctly to score goals, Man of the Match where the player/players take turns attacking and defending by answering questions, League Championship, where the player plays the game throughout an entire football season and Dream Team.

Reception

Steve Hill of PC Zone gave the title a score of 50/100, describing it as a "rehash" of the previous game in the series, albeit with a refreshed set of questions. [2] Official PlayStation Magazine labelled the game as a "top quizzer that's great with mates", awarding a score of 7/10, but cautioned that "only footie fans should bother". [4]

Players move their pieces around a board, the squares they land on determining the subject of a question they are asked from a card. Each correct answer allows the player's turn to continue; a correct answer on one of the six "category headquarters" spaces earns a plastic wedge which is slotted into the answerer's playing piece. The object of the game is to collect all six wedges from each "category headquarters" space, and then return to the center "hub" space to answer a question in a category selected by the other players.
