NBA Hoopz

"Even if you are a staunch believer in realistic sports sims and like to mix it up with friends, you owe it to yourself to give NBA Hoopz a whirl. You may find that half-court sets, double-team options, and stats are not all there is to b-ball after all."

"A tired genre makes its first zombie steps onto the PS2. It's time for a rethink."

"NBA Hoopz for the PlayStation 2 gives old veterans of the NBA Jam series some new modes and control options to play with while still retaining the high-flying, fast-paced gameplay that is the core of the series."

"...as the only arcade-style b-ball game on the PS2, it definitely fills a niche. Check it out if you're looking for something a little less sim-oriented than NBA Live or NBA ShootOut."

"NBA Hoopz is definitely all about those dunks... Very entertaining is the Customise option, which lets you adjust everything... contains five mini-games... boasts 500 new animations motion-captured from NBA stars, and you can certainly see this when playing... disappointingly little variety in the commentating..."
