NFL 2K3

"NFL 2K3 is the best NFL game out this year."

NFL 2K3 is the best sports game out this year. It is unbelievable how far sports games have come. I am total satisfied with this game. Sega Sports games have done grate in the last three years. I personally think that they make better games then EA. Many people wouldn't agree with me there, but if you try this game, you might.

GAMEPLAY: 10/10- The game play is smooth. I especially like the fact that you can change the game speeds. It makes the game more fun for different players. One downside to the game is that the opposing player can see what plays you pick, but you just have to agree to not have wandering eyes before the game.

GRAPHICS: 10/10- Magnificent! The textures are amazing and the players are to scale. If you zoom in on the grass during a replay, you will be amazed. I personally do a replay almost twice every drive. It is amazing to watch how smooth all the play move around. I sometimes even make my friends mad because I watch so many replays.

SOUND: 10/10- The sounds are as real as the game of football itself. When players hit, they each make a noise, and they even talk before and after plays. The commentators can get a little annoying after a while though, but they can be turned off. The game is lonely with out them though.

Difficulty: 10/10- Even on easy, the game can be hard. Pro is like All Pro in any other game. And if you actually play All Pro, it is almost impossible. If you want a challenge, play the computer on All Pro. Unlike Madden 2003, you can't dance in the backfield for a minute until there is an opening. So it is more of a challenge. If you always lose to a friend, just use the St. Louis Rams. They (your friend) can forget about it.

MODES OF PLAY: 10/10- It has the basics and they are all up to my standard. Franchise mode is excellent. The season is fun if you just want to play to win the super bowl. Quick play makes for an easy way to teach someone a lesson. You also need a lot of practice before you really start to get into it.

REPLAY VALUE: 10/10- Isn't that almost a given. It is a sports game, and all sports games have lots of replay value.
This one especially.
