What you'd want it to be......!!!!
At the price you want a game to have staying power and value for money. I must admit i do tend to go for sports sims as i can't really see Doom style games working on the PSP. I hope to be corrected in the near future. I love Snooker, Golf and Football so thought i'd go for it with NBA Live 06. It's exactly what you want it to be.....the kind of game you can duck in and out of or go for full on tournaments. The graphics are suitable and you can see all the moves etc. It's not that easy either, win some.....lose some. I'm really enjoying it and made a 2.5 hr train journey pass with ease last Tuesday.

Would I advise you to purchase it......well....if a sport sim is yr cup of tea then YES do it.....!!!! You won't be disappointed......!!!! If you think.... you want to but don't want to waste money, time taking it back etc.....again I say YES do it....this was me and I love it.

Happy Gaming

good game
This game is really good you can get right into it.....but being a hardcore footy fan i tend to favour football games but i do like my basketball coz of the pace of the game n skill required. But i think this is for the hardcore basketball fans rather than the general fan. I do love the game but sometimes i find it hard to be consistant....i guees more practice will pay off. great seasonal mode n good play-offs. graphics are amazing.....and when the commentator says "Shoot's from downtown" and that 3 point goes in just before the buzzer what a feeling!!! recommeneded you'll have fun even if your not hardcore.
