Found it better than most are saying...

This is a fun game that has gotten unjustified poor reviews. The graphics are among the best of the wii games so far. The camera angle and movement makes the game much better than basketball games of the past. The controls are very responsive and have a great overall feel, making the game feel fairly realistic. And, there are numerous game modes and options to play with. Overall, the game is fun from either an arcade or simulation point of view. Include online play and you have a great overall game.
There are some small issues, however. The lack of a turbo button makes the game feel a little different, but it is by no means problematic. The "party mode" feels a little forced, it seems like too many games are trying to piggyback the success of warioware, etc.
All in all, Live 08 is a great change of pace from the fastbreak dunkathons that has been the standard in this franchise.
