Wii is great for a lot of things. Nba live is also great for a lot of things. Unfortunately when you mix them you get a banana and antifreeze sandwich. This collaboration is unholy and awful.

Controls, awful. Graphics, awful. Fun factor awful, everything about this game is awful. It could have been so much better (maybe?)

The first problem is that the Wii translates more to a 360 degree environment then the more linear patterns this game would require. I am not even sure what could be done to fix this train wreck. This series might be unsalvagable on the Wii. It might have to stick with the larger controllers and platforms to have any success the franchise has enjoyed over its lifetime.

AWFUL, TRULY TRULY AWFUL.

Do NOT RENT, OR BUY, OR TOUCH. it is really that bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
