Fun Basketball Game by Jim 30 Oct 2010
I have long been a fan of many sports out there, especially basketball. As a basketball player myself, I envy those who can play the sport for a living, as they happen to make a lot of money. Since I am a big basketball fan, I am an avid follower of the National Basketball Association, also known as the NBA. I follow the sport pretty closely, and I cheer for select teams. I also happen to play some of the video games that feature the NBA. One of the first ones I played was NBA Showdown, an old NBA game for Genesis. Needless to say, I really enjoyed this game. It was really fun, and I definitely had a great job playing through it.

Storyline – Take your team to the finals. Not the most complicated storyline ever, but it’s a **** sports game, what do you expect?

Graphics – I really liked the graphics in this game, despite the fact they were pretty simple. The game employs the use of a 3/4 view, so the game is almost viewed in a diagonal direction. It still looks pretty neat, regardless. The players looked great, despite the fact they were pretty small, they were still well detailed. And the lack of slowdown definitely helped.

Music and Sound Effects – The music in this game is fairly non existent, and the game could have benefitted from the use of some commentating, as the sound effects are pretty basic and drab. The music that is featured is OK I guess, but it could have been better. It’s just a sports game, however, not a role playing game or anything like that.

Gameplay and Control – The game is fairly simple to control, the buttons do basic things like passing, shooting, etc. There is no majorly complicated control pattern in this game, that is for sure. The game itself is pretty fun to play, there are a lot of teams and modes to choose from. Like the season mode, which is your basic season mode. I especially like the stat tracker, it is done pretty well in this game.

Replay Value – This is a very fun game to play, and has great replay value.

Challenge – It’s not that challenging, but a little more so than the Live series.

Overall – I really enjoyed playing this game, and I am sure you will as well. It’s worth a purchase, so get it today, or else!
