    To enjoy this game is to remove the graphical comparisons to it's HD Console cousins. 2K's first baskeball title is better than last's hockey game (for comparison) but not quite as refined as the current NHL 2K10. It still makes for an interesting game of hoops on the Wii and will hopefully be remade for coming years. Overall, a fun game.

    This was the first NBA 2K game I ever played, and it was so fun it had me buying the next two versions shortly after they came out. Great for basketball fans.

    On the gameplay front, NBA 2K has a lot of work to do before its sophomore season. [Nov 2009, p.84]
  2. There's a good amount of content and game modes, but it's all based on the terrible core gameplay mechanics.

    The vast discrepancy in the controls, coupled with the weak visuals and a non-existent online community don’t make this a strong first step for the franchise on the Wii. This is definitely one game that could’ve spend more time in college or the developmental leagues.
