NBA 2K7

"The Best National Basketball Association Video Game To Date"

NBA 2K7 is still one of the best basketball game to date. When compared to NBA 2k6, the graphics had been slightly improved and most of the glitches had been fixed.

Graphics 8.5 out of 10

Seriously, the graphics in this game are top notch and looks very realistic. The jerseys look alright and sometimes the jerseys go through the player's body's. I'll have to admit though, some player's faces don't look exactly like their real-life counterparts. The crowds look average and the courts look ridiculously shiny, which in a way is good and bad. If you hook up your Xbox 360 to a High-Definition input, the graphics would be MUCH more crisper and clear than a standard input. Overall, the graphics are BEAUTIFUL.

Sound 7.3 out of 10

2Ksports need to put better music in their basketball simulation games. I mean there are artists that are never heard of and most of the songs are horrendous. But the ingame audio is crisp clear. Overall, the sound is average. 2Ksports need NBA LIVE's music in it.

Gameplay 10 out of 10

Simply amazing and addictive, especially for NBA fans. The post-up moves and shooting styles had been motion captured to give players a more realistic experience. Some player's shots are harder to shoot with, and some player's shots are easier to shoot with. The cpu's defense had been tuned up and you won't be able to drive to the basket so easily like in NBA 2K6. The players move smoothly with their signature styles that were motion captured.

Lasting Appeal 9 out of 10

You can play online with this game without stopping, it is incredible how fun it is and how many players play this game. There are minor glitches though but it won't bother players that much. Lagging is an issue online though. Plus this game has 24/7 mode which lets u create your own player and develop his stats and compete in the EBC TOURNAMENT. NBA 2K7 also gives you association mode which gives you the power to control a team's dynasty. You can trade players and increase player's stats and play in the All Star game. Yes, this game will give you alot of replayability, simply worth the money.

FINAL WORDS:

Well worth your money. Get it now even if you do not like basketball. It will make you love basketball forever.
