    This might be the best game I have ever played. I just started playing PS2 after retiring my old Atari 7800. It reminds me of One on One Dr. J versus Larry Bird but with five dudes hoopin' it up. Woohoo! Whatta rad game!

    Wins the award for having the ugliest faces. [Winter 2002, p.99]
  2. Official Xbox Magazine

    Tries too hard to imitate the big boys and is a few Shaq-sized steps behind in nearly every respect. [Jan 2003, p.74]

    If you’re looking for the worthy successor to Konami’s venerated "Double Dribble," NBA Starting Five isn’t a worthy heir. It really isn’t even a bastard child.
