However, the 128-bit generation is now upon us and all of the old must change now due to the ground-breaking hoops title for the Dreamcast by Visual Concepts, NBA2K. This is a game so accurate to the actual sport of basketball that it requires no imagination on the part of the user and certainly made me a true believer.
Game Description:Visual Concepts hits the hardwood with NBA 2K. Feel the intensity of the last two minutes as you take control and try to bury your opponent with a clutch three-pointer or a devastating dunk. In fact, NBA 2K sports over 100 dunk animations, so, if you’ve seen it on TV, chances are you’ll see it in NBA 2K. You’ll also recognize your favorite players and coaches, thanks to the detailed player models. See if you can take your team to the Finals and stake your claim as NBA Champions with NBA 2K.
There isn't much I can add to Chi's (admittedly eloquent) review. I agree that everything in NBA2K from the graphics and animations to the gameplay and sounds are unparalleled. So much so that the exclusion of some standard basketball mainstays like the 3-point contest went unnoticed or, if I did notice, I didn't much care at that point. It's what NBA2K does so well that stands out and overwhelms me with the same impact I get from watching real-life ball games.
