Some games you should play without caring how IGN and Gamespot rate it. This is one of those games. First the good.
The gameplay. IGN and others say that the gameplay gets boring fast, but i say they are wrong. The gameplay is very arcade like and the pace is fast, which will keep you on your toes and almost reminds me of NBA Street Vol. 2. The gameplay has many challenges. Maybe this game dont have the best graphics you'll see these days, but it has good gameplay. Personally, i would rather have good gameplay than good graphics. If your looking for graphics, get NBA 08. For gameplay, i say this is where its at. Now for the bad...
Now dont get twisted with me. It has good gameplay, but there are some flaws, like every good thing. There are actually "Charging" and "Goaltending" fouls. Im serious. Now, in my opinion, that was an extremely bad choice. Its supposed to be a fast paced arcade game, usually if you going for that your not going for realism. And beyond that, its supposed to be a street themed game. Do you call charging fouls in a street game? That would be the sort of action someone would get beat up for. Another bad spot is the superman-esqe moves that can easily ruin any game. By press a few buttons, you can automatically win or lose matches. I remember a couple of times going into the last few seconds of a game and the computer pulls that instant win stunt. I was really mad. It made me feel like sending the game back that very moment.
Theres the good and bad. Take what you want from it, but i do reccomend renting this one.
