First off, when this game was released in March, right in the middle of March Madness, 2K Sports expected us to pay the full 60 bucks. Well, luckilly the NCAA hype has died down, for basketball at least, and the game now carries a 30 dollar price tag. Is it worth is?

 

Well, the graphics are decent. They aren't up to the 360's standards, but keep in mind this game is a port from current-gen, and let's face it. Graphics do not make the game. The payer models are nice but the courts and arenas could use work. A lot of work work.

 

The gameplay is about what you'd expect from NBA 2k6. If you haven't played NBA, it's more of a sim than the Live series meaning you're not going to storm the basket everytime and the player's skills have been toned down to keep the college feel.

 

The controls are kinda iffy. The default controls anyway. There are 3 or 4 presets for your control config. I prefer Control Config B personally. It's the more standard control for most basketball games.

 

The multiplayer is really nice. Whether you're playing with a friend or online. 2K Sports offeres the best online experience for all of their games, offering amazing leagues and tournaments.

 

This game is as difficult as any other basketball game. Has different difficulty settings and rule configuration so it can be as easy as you want or hard as you want.

 

The announcers are spot on and will say the names of most created players. They tend to know what they're talking about although some stuff DOES get old.

 

Now, for 30 bucks? This or NBA? I prefer NBA. However, this is not a bad pickup for your 360 Library.
