    Good graphics, light on the gameplay. The gameplay is very light, it improves as you learn all the moves. It just doesnt offer a strong gameplay you get tired of it fast and wanting to play NBA2k3 or live2k3 for a realistic simulation. This game is basically for younger gamers. The dunks, moves get old fast. The 3rd person camera angle is not available only sideline angle. Its not the Good graphics, light on the gameplay.

    The best rent you will ever make, but a disappointing buy. Unbelievably fun for an unbelievably short time.

    Deliriously frenetic and expertly calibrated. [June-July, 2003, p.82]
  2. Better than the original in every way, yet remains a perfect starting point for those new to the series - it's friendly, well presented and offers great value for both single player and multiplayer.

    An irresistible force that offers plenty of innovative in-game moves and controls, a comprehensive single player campaign and a multiplayer mode that'll turn even the best of friends into vicious enemies temporarily.
