    I was scared at first when I first saw the reviews for this game, but I was not about to pay $30 just to get a next gen version. I tried it out and now have bought it. it is a very good ps2 basketball game. and just might be the last 2k on the ps2. the graphics are not that great but thats because I have been playing my nba 2k6 on my 360 for so long I forgot what the ps2 sport games lookedI was scared at first when I first saw the reviews for this game, but I was not about to pay $30 just to get a next gen version.

I have not played nba 2k7 on the ps2 but have played 2k5 and 2k6 and it is way more inporved. I could not stand 2k5. so if you are poor or dont want to buy a next gen version get this one.… Expand

    Shortcomings aside, we harken back to our Vince Carter analogy. Carter's star is fading, and the "next-gen" is already here in D-Wade, 'Bron and Melo. The PS2 version of 2K8 faces a similar challenge.

    A decent game of basketball, but it has to be taken with a grain of salt. With very few enhancements to the gameplay, dated visuals and old shooting issues still plaguing the title, NBA 2K8 one of those titles that barely escapes being a mild roster update.

    NBA 2K8's got the best on-court basketball experience on the PS2 this year. That's enough for us to declare it the champ.
