Best basketball game for the PSP!
User Rating: 8.5 | NBA 09 The Inside PSP
NBA 09:The Inside, is a great game with tons of extra features exclusively for the PSP, and the PS3. NBA 09, has so many features, it isn't even funny. First of all, there about 20+ mini-games in this game, plus the other 7 or 8 game modes. The mini-games range from bowling and block breaker, to 1 on 1 off the board match-ups, and elimination with awesome power-ups. The game modes are also tremendous, like Franchise mode, which allows you to play with a team for up to 25 seasons, and play as the GM, the coach, or the players. There are also exhibition, and quick play, which are actually the same thing, and there is all-star weekend, where you can play the skills challenge, and the 3 point competition as well. The game play is also really easy to get used to. The controls are very simple, and X's are on top of players, which guide you on who you are passing the ball to. The sound is surprisingly very good as well. I played about 13 seasons in franchise mode, and the rookies that are created virtually, have very weird names. But the commentator pronounces every single name correctly, and never makes a mistake. The music is also very nice, like all NBA games. The graphics are decent, but you can't expect the "great" from just the PSP itself. All in all, NBA 09: The Inside, is probably one of the best sports games for the PSP out there. If you're a b-ball fanatic like me, I would pick this game right away. Not to mention it only costs $25 CAN.
