    NBA 09: The Inside is a great portable basketball title.

    Anyone looking for a solid NBA simulator with a strong franchise mode and who also wants something more with their game can’t go wrong with NBA 09 The Inside for the PSP.

    The on-court action can be tough to follow at times, but because the game makes no attempt to disguise its arcade-style action as a true basketball sim (and often flaunts its arcade attitude), the problems with the five-on-five action are easy to overlook. In fact, the mini-games add so much to this title I’d feel comfortable recommending it for them alone.

    It’s addressed our biggest complaints from last season and added plenty of worthy material, staking its claim as a top-tier handheld NBA sim.

    NBA 09 The Inside is a slam-dunk in almost every way.
  7. Armchair Empire

    Overall, I was quite pleased with this title and you won’t go wrong picking it up. It’s not quite a slam dunk but it’s certainly no foul.

    Where NBA 09: The Inside shines is in its library of mini-games, more than making up for the lackluster core gameplay.
