NBA 2K8 is another addition to the #1 rated NBA simulation. The gameplay is fast paced with challenging AI. This year there are signature style moves where the players shot is exactly the same as real life. Also, there is a mode called NBA Blacktop, which includes, a game of 21, pick up games (1 on 1, 2 on 2, etc.), and the newly added 3 point shoot out and Sprite slam dunk contest. Yet, mostly every game has a downfall, and in 2K8 the downfall is the create a player/team. Create a team has the same exact team icons as previous years and in create a player it is extremely difficult or even impossible to make a black player. When trying to make Michael Jordan, the face was horrible and the darkest I was able to get his skin was light brown. Furthermore, the highlight of NBA 2K8 that will make it worth the money and that will keep you busy for a long time is the amazing online modes. You can play a regular exhibition match or any of the blacktop modes without any lag. Overall, NBA 2K8 is a great addition to the long running series and is definitely worth buying.
