NBA 08 Review - Same Game With A Different Name

NBA 08 Review - Same Game With A Different Name

NBA 08 is a PSP, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 exclusive video game. The game makes another return and set up a similar trend from 07 last season in the NBA this is not necessarily a positive view of the fact that NBA 07 is abysmal. The game is by all means a simulation of basketball and not coincidentally is a.

In terms of gameplay, there's plenty to enjoy in this game. This year's iteration of the game you'll earn points that can increase your attributes playprogression system. There are online support 08 in the NBA, but you do not see anyone in line, because it will be busy playing NBA 2K8. The game mode has a full season with the playoffs and mini-games (like target practice). Unfortunately, a franchise mode is missing in action. If a player manages to finish the full season mode, then he or she will receive nothing in return.

I would expect at least be able to see a presentation trophy, but I was wrong. To make thingsWorse, there is no vacancy and projects in this game. At one point I even saw Steve Nash dunk the basketball. When did you ever soaked basketball in the NBA? The game's controls are not bad. You can use the six axis controller to keep the basketball from the defenders during the offensive, and vice versa, allows players to use the six axis controller block shots on defense. It 'was fascinating to Watch a sports video game of the impleMentation of six-axis controller, and I felt like I was with the six-axisController was responsive.

The AI ​​behaves like a group of pampered athletes. We recomMend not endless dubious things together as a double of mediocre players and take bad shots. Why the hell out of AI, a player like Kobe Bryant and LeBron James would open is beyond me. There are movements, you can run (dribbling wing cross), which make the game easier, but the game is not hard. It was quite obviousthat little to no time was spent on the animations and collision detection because anyone can easily score points in this game.

I learned that there is no need to use any exotic plays because you can just teleport through the defense without any resistance. It was almost like the defense was holding up a sign that read "I concede, so let me help you win this game by escorting you to the basket."

The graphics in the game is just as horrible as the gameplay. None of the players look like their real life counterparts. Identifying a player can only be done by reading the name on the back of his uniform. Every intricate detail was phenomenal in NBA 2K8. You could even see the stitching and designs on the uniforms in that game. Regrettably, NBA 08 does not even come close to the attention to detail presented in NBA 2K8. I cannot think of any players that are accurately represented in this game. Maybe this was a glitch, but I saw Kevin Garnett wearing pink socks.
Kevin Garnett is known for wearing white socks. Things like that have made this game deplorable.

Do not even get me started on the audio in this game. The commentators are saying lines as if they are reading from a script; moreover, this is exacerbated by the fact that the commentating is redundant.

Overall, this game is lackluster. There is a updated roster for the 2007 to 2008 NBA season, but that is not enough to overcome the myriad of flaws associated with this game. I have had more fun Watching a San Antonio Spurs game that playing this terrible excuse for a video game. The game has an immensely rudimentary NBA basketball gaming experience and lacks the immersion that made NBA 2K8 incredible. Do not be fooled into thinking that this game is worth playing because Amare Stoudemire is the cover athlete. As spectacular as Amare Stoudemire might be in the NBA, there is nothing he nor the game developers could have done to make this game enjoyable.

final verdict 5 out of 10
