A great training area lets you learn all the moves with as much time as you need. Replay each type of move as many times as you need to, and get yourself comfortable. |
There are over 150 players to work with, from all eras of basketball heroes. The range of moves to use and unlock is pretty amazing, and there's a wealth of locations and gameplay to keep things interesting. The game starts slowly enough that even thoughs not really familiar with basketball can learn as they go.
The graphics are great, with well animated figures doing amazing moves and looking quite realistic. The graphics are on par with Dead or Alive III, with leaves floating down and skidding along, great textures on surfaces and nicely done shadows.
The sound and music really draw you in. There's a great selection of music that cycle in the background, and the 'commentator' has some brilliantly funny lines. Of course usually your friends in the room are cheering over his comments, as you execute an amazing triple-trick move and trash your opponents.
Really a fun game even for non-sports enthusiasts. If you enjoy basketball, you'll become addicted and be dreaming about the game when you finally get some sleep!
