Sega Sports NBA 2k (DC)

Out of the four major American Sports (American football, baseball, basketball and ice hockey) it is basketball which has established itself as the most popular import to the UK, with its relatively simple rules and the lack of equipment needed in order to play. Although I myself cannot claim to be a fan, I must admit that I have been eagerly awaiting this title ever since I first caught a glimpse of it in motion late last year. The reason? The astonishing graphics and attention to detail. Now NBA 2K is finished and ready to hit the UK, but will the gameplay match up to its breathtaking looks? As I am sure you are aware, there have been countless amounts of ...  Read the complete review

This game is easily the best sports title available on the Dreamcast at the moment. Although i would prefer a football game of this quality (come on Konami release ISS for Dreamcast!!!)for now NBA 2K is more than adequate to fill the void for now. So NBA 2K has been developed by Sega Sports and features the latest player roster which is a must if any sports game is to be successful nowadays. So this is a good start. Things just get better from here on in though......... The graphics of the game is what sets it apart from other basketball sims. Never before have i been able to recognize actual players from just looking at their faces. This stunning ...  Read the complete review

The lack of great football games is continual gripe amongst dreamcast owners and for the near future we must be content with other sports. This is probably the best of the currently released sports sims and a simulation it definately is. This is not a game to buy for a quick slice of action packed gameplay but, given time, this game will suck you into the most realistic sports environment yet created on a home console. All the teams from the NBA are present with their real life players all accurately modelled, you can actually recognise them (although only in the replays where the camera zooms in and which, by the way, are fully controllable is speed of replay and exact ...  Read the complete review

NBA 2K was the best Sega Sports title out on Dreamcast in Europe until the mighty Virtua Tennis was released. The graphics are amazing: each player looks as though they are REAL and the movement and speed is just brilliant. NBA 2K is the best Basketball title in the world at the moment, really is a great game to play. The controls are easy enough to learn, and there are many different game modes to play, including Play offs, quick start, exhibition and Season. the only problem with the game is that it takes up 199 bits on your memory card (nearly all of it) so, unless you're prepared to spend £20 on one I suggest you leave the season until you ...  Read the complete review

NBA 2K is a classy sports sim with solid gameplay and realistic animation, placing much more emphasis in being a good simulation than previous basketball games. All thirty three teams in the NBA are included with each player carefully renderedto look like their real life counterpart. There are plenty of high quality FMV sequences and the gameplays spot on, rolling along at a frenatic pace and keeping your attention right the way through. NBA 2K really comes into its own in the multiplayer game which is perfect and provides hours of fun. Slam funk da funk as Five would say. ...  Read the complete review
