NBA ShootOut 2001

"The AI is pretty good as it allows the computer players to play to the actual skill level of the NBA player."

"Great graphics and sound can certainly make a huge difference in the overall enjoyment of a game, but gameplay is what really makes or breaks a title. In this regard, ShootOut is certainly a contender, but doesn't quite reach the Live plateau."

"...the improvements haven't been restricted to the game's stunning visuals. The developers have made a concerted effort to beef up the game's gameplay, boasting a newly redesigned game engine that promises to deliver a new level of gameplay to back up the splendid visual achievement."

"...no matter how awesome the front-end presentation of a game is, once the post-production stuff is over and the game enters the 'game' that is when the points really start to tally."

"While Shootout 2001 is not a bad game, it's not as good as Live 2001 for the PSX. It also has to compete with NBA2K1 for the Dreamcast, which is the best basketball game on Earth."
