Game Reviews - Indews

There are basically two modes in this game. The first is the basketball league that we are all used to. It can get boring at times, but the ability to unlock trophies and other awards for your Crib can keep it fresh. It’s also possible to change the statistics of your team. This can get really fun. Ben Wallace should not be shooting 96% from three-point range and Earl Boykins should not be racking up fifteen blocks while defending Yao Ming alone.

The second mode is 24/7 mode. This is street ball at its finest. Play different modes like bomb ball, reverse controls, small ball, and random points. Compete your way to the top to improve stats, unlock shoes, unlock teammates from the NBA and celebrities like FLAVA FLAV, and become the hottest baller in the world. It can get hard at times, but there isn’t anything as difficult as the final tournament at Rucker Park. Jump shots don’t go in, lay-ups become air balls, and the only sound that can be heard on a dunk is “Clank!” Good luck.

Graphically, this game is off the chain. Over 80% of the muscles in the face are present in this game, sweat drips from the players, and reflections are visible in the floor. This is just while in game play. The replays are amazing! I’m speechless! These are the best graphics that I have ever seen.

2K6 contains some very good underground rap music. If you’re not into rap, you’re out of luck. If you’re into rap, it’s your lucky day. The only problem you’ll have is that there aren’t very many tracks. Listen to it for a while, but then change to a custom play list.

The only other major complaint other than the limited music is the glitch found in 24/7 mode. If you’re not familiar with half court basketball, after every basket or errant ball out of bounds, the player with control of the ball must check it up top. The problem is that sometimes when the comp has control of the ball, they won’t check it. Really, they won’t do anything. They just stand there. This forces the gamer to either quit the game and take the loss or reset the counsel.

This game is a must buy for anybody that owns a sports game, plays basketball, or watches basketball, whether it be on a regular basis or occasionally. The replay level is through the roof, so it is definitely worth the money. Pick it up and throw it down.
