NBA Live 2002

"...the Xbox version of NBA Live 2002 turns out to be little more than another minor upgrade to a game that has barely changed in about 4 years. The marginal graphical changes don't really make for a better overall game than its disappointing PS2 counterpart. I'd rent and wait until a better baller comes along before buying."

"NBA Live 2002 seems to be falling behind competing hoops products on the market and didn't improve much in moving to the Xbox."

Description and screenshots on NBA Live 2002.

"The game will look damn good while you administer ass kicking after ass kicking, but even those with the lowest self-esteem will eventually realize Live 2002 is just patronizing them. Sports games, even hoop titles on Xbox, are supposed to have built-in longevity because of the supposedly never ending waves of competition. Live 2002 surrenders very soon after you switch the power on."
