    I guess the developer of this game didn’t get the memo about zone defense. [Nov 2001, p.220]

    It would be wise to send ShootOut 2002 to the showers unless you simply must have updated player rosters and the questionable touch-shooting feature.
  3. If NBA ShootOut 2002 does come in contact with eyes flush with water and induce vomiting.
  4. In some ways the game has actually suffered--with its fluctuating frame rate and choppy animation--when compared to last year's game.
  5. It offers nothing new and improved. If you’re a fan of the series and absolutely must have the updated rosters, then you may want to... uh, forget it, don’t buy it anyway!

    A shot in the arm that makes me enthusiastic about a PS2 ShootOut prospect. [Nov 2001, p.166]
  7. It's merely coasting on the competency of an engine that's good-enough to recycle last year's features without improvements, rule changes or a playable Michael Jordan.
