Advantages: Great sound and extremely playable game. A official game and multi-player heaven. The face aminations are totally wicked,overall the graphics are wicked. Disadvantages: The Al is sometimes annoying the season mode is probably only for basketball nuts as it takes 10 seasons to complete.
...NBALive 2000' is a part of a great series which is still going strong with the 2001' edition. It has progessed from the paltry 96' edition to a great sports series. This game used to be the best basketball game on the Playstation but 2001' is now the best as it has got extra features and it is the most recent in my opinion. EA have published great sports series since the Plastation came out. Like Madden,Fifa ect,and this series is no exception. A truly great game.
PLAYABILTY AND ENJOYMENT
This is one of the reasons why this game is great with your mates,because of the playablity and enjoyment. The players have hot and cold streaks which normally happens in real life. The controls aren't iffy either. You could also do a spot of management(stragety) during the game and making transfers. The Al is nearly perfect only a few minor...

Advantages: NBA 365 really does make the game relalistic, Plenty of game modes mean there is plenty to do Disadvantages: Gamplay is sloppy, player visuals are not great for lesser known players
...Dissapointed is all i can say really. This game had huge potential, the NBAlive 365 was ingenious, and i was so excitied about this title i even pre ordered it. The idea behind it had potential, the hot streak and updated trade as they happen, really made the game feel like a real franchise. But the gameplay is sloppy and feels slow, for anyone that plays or watched basketball regularily this would be a waste of your hard earned cash. The game just doesn`t do justice to the the real thing, obviously i wasn`t expecting mirracles, but still it just is not relaistic enough, running through players, clear travels towards the basket. The pace just isn`t speedy enough either, i had to pump the game speed option up to almost full to even get a sense of realism. The graphics are nothing to write home about either, the big names are almost...

Advantages: Vibrant and pretty graphics, excellent FMV's, long, good ideas Disadvantages: Poor control, frustrating, lack of extra lives, overly-complex level layouts
...Over the years, I have seen many games come and go. You remember the very best, you remember the very worst and you vaguely recall all the sequels, annual updates and games that tried to do things differently. 40 Winks must have been floating around right at the very back of my subconscious for some considerable time, maybe because it didn't fit comfortably into any of the above categories. But when a friend of mine bought it recently, it was enough to spark that distant recollection of the game doing the rounds in the magazines all those years ago, and as it had been some time since I had sampled a demo, I decided it was worth a closer look.
Released back in 1999 for the PlayStation, 40 Winks is a kid-aimed 3D platformer that followed hot on the heels of the success stories that were Crash Bandicoot 3 and Spyro The Dragon, and was...
