What They Say:
Check out these quotes from reviews & previews
"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."
