One of the Best BASKETBALL GAMES EVER.
User Rating: 8 | ESPN NBA 2K5 PS2
Honestly, I could care less about basketball. Detroit Pistons are world champions. Who cares? I don't. I DO care about this game though. The game functions the same as last year, but that was already so good. The new iso 2 button puts the exclamation point on your moves. The new dunk and lay-up moves are so cool you'll actually feel like you did them in real life. But, like last year, this is the worst free throw I have ever seen. In the top right hand corner of the screen, there's a little ball moving up and down about two inches at about a million miles an hour. You must then take the annoyingly sensitive analog stick control and try to trap the ball inside. When you feel like you did, you press the R1 button. 1 out of ten times you'll make it! This is one of the best looking b-ball games of all time. The graphics are so great my dad came into my room and asked, "Why are you watching basketball?" That's how good these graphics are. The audio in this game is...above average. I don't know what's worse though, the sound of basketball shoes squeaking or the voice of Bill Walton squaking. Also, I forgot to mention that this game is TWENTY DOLLARS this year. Amazing. ESPN, you did it again. 8.0 out of 10. +Budget priced +Great graphics +Online play -Bill Walton -Terrible free throw remains -Xbox version better, otherwise get NBA Live 2005
