A great basketball game

When i saw this game in the store i immidiately thought to myself how cool it looked. And it is cool. Although i havent owned a basketball game since my nintendo 64, it is still a great game.

I was hoping for slightly better graphics, but they are still widely acceptable and satisfying. If not for the crowd( my nintendo version was almost as good..come on!!) some might beleive it is a true basketball game ( take your 90 year old grandpa).

Then, the sound is very good. Few games have good songs o it AND a jutebox to play them on. The ingame sounds are pretty realsitic, only if the players dont talk.

Considering its just another basketball game, this game was slightly overpriced, but not unreasonalbe.i got it for 40 $, even though it was a 2005 game.

There is one thign that bugs me every game. Like in a basketball, there is a square on the bottom left/right hand corner showing the score. It is very hard to read. one score, i thought i had 60, then had 80 because it so small and the 6 and 8 are too similar. I play very close to my tv, so far out the score is unreadable.

Overall, this is a good game, but not amazing. I suggest getting it if you dontalready have a basketball game, but if you are a big collector, then you will find this game a clone of last year's.
