Accessories: Editorial Review: Product Description: When Sega decided to discontinue the Dreamcast, it opted to make its excellent sports titles available for other consoles. And not a moment too soon. Competition is always a good thing, and Sega Sports titles, including NBA 2K2, are some of the best in the business. NBA 2K2 features all the teams, rosters, and, most importantly, rule changes (like the now-legal zone defense) found in the real NBA. Player faces have been mapped to realistic body types (complete with tattoos), so you can identify a big man like Shaq and a speedster like Iverson without looking at their numbers. The game takes full advantage of the graphics-rendering power of advanced consoles by including better texturing, lighting effects, and facial animations, along with a higher polygon count, to ensure all the jukes, spins, jumps, and dunks are as realistic as possible. The audio is also good, particularly the play-by-play, which is accurate and speedy. The controls are intuitive--even for people used to the Dreamcast--especially in the area of on-the-fly play calling. The controls let you quickly and fluidly box out your opponent, spin, shoot, pass, fake, and dunk. There are also eight street-ball courts, and this addition makes for an almost entirely new game. In this respect, it is the equal of the NBA Live series from EA Sports. But NBA 2K2 surpasses EA's titles with its excellent AI. This game is challenging, satisfying, and fun in both single and multiplayer modes. --Bob Andrews Note: This text refers to the PlayStation2 version of this game. Pros:

Rating:  - Very Cool GameI got this game for Christmas and I am still learning it but, It is very enjoyable even for an old fart like me. I like being able to select All-Star teams from the past like the 1980's Eastern conference that includes my favorite players Larry Bird and Danny Ainge. Rating: - A AWSOME BBALL GAME FOR GC (A 11 YEAR OLD GAMER)This game is much better than NBA Courtside 2002 and it is more realistic. The audiance look more real because if u are at your home court and say u make a fancy dunk the audiance will get up off of their seats and cheer for u. U can play Street Ball in it and it is very fun. I guarantee u will never get bored of this game. I almost forgot u can play as bball legends from the 50s/60s, 70s east, 70s west, 80s east, 80s west and players in present time. Last fact u can also play as western and eastern ... Read More Rating: - The Best Bball Game on GC As of NowNBA 2k2 beats out every other bball game on the market. Though it has minor flaws, like every game, overall it's just great. Everything is done pretty well, except the street mode. I think this is the only thing Sega has to change for 2k2. The street mode isn't that great; it's basically a regular game with less people. The courts aren't done perfectly, and in Rucker the stands are empty. I don't really need the street mode though. The franchise, create-a-player, and just plaing ... Read More |
