It's pity how Live 07 got the worst reviews and bad word of mouth. But that's the way the world is. Kids discover something new and the word spreads. Welcome to 2k7. The most overrated 2k game of all time. Gee, where were all these people back in the day. Anyway, I've been a 2k gamer since the Dreamcast days and like always 2k delivers. Year after year I've seen how the game improved, how the gameplay got smoother and smoother and how the animations got better. So once again I proudly say, 2k7 is the champ. Everyone knows how fantastic this year's version is and how the gameplay stepped up once again. As a 2k loyalist however, I'm am dissapointed with the graphics. Why didn't 2k scratch the old graphics engine and opt for a new next gen look is beyond me. Don't get me wrong, it looks slightly better than the current gen, with the cloth physics and sweat, but it's still looks current gen. New animations and smoother gameplay converted alot of new people from last year to this game, and it's all good. Online is the best there is and the 24/7 and street mode is still good. Dozens of camera angles make the experience that much thrilling, including the rest of the modes. My other gripe besides the graphics is the presentation. What happened to the player intro? and why do we still have the same legends from the past 7 years? There are legends like Adrian Dantley that could replace Michael Ray Richardson. The sound fx hasn't been changed either, including that annoying whistle I've been hearing since 2k1. But these are stupid gripes comming from me. In summary 2k7 is typical 2k. It's great, it's better than last year, and it's a total blast to play. My score will probably confuse people, but it's because I'm a 2k vet and nothing has really innovated for me to be impressed. There's nothing revolutionary, but 2k7 will convert alot more kids and grownups alike to it's suberb gameplay.
I am writing this review after playing about 4 or 5 hours of the game itself. I haven't tried everything out (such as online play), so not everything may be as accurate as you expect. I have to admit, I am impressed w... Read Full Review
