NBA Inside Drive 2002
Overall: This game is definitely worth purchasing. I only gave it a 4 out
of 5 because it lacks depth. There
is no Franchise and I have yet to
see where you can create a
player. Nor does it have a practice
arena, like NFL Fever, where you
can brush-up on your skills or see
the dunks. Hopefully there are
codes where some of these
things can be unlocked, but it
should be a given in normal
gameplay.
Gameplay: Game play is fluid. I hadn't had
any frames skip in the few hours
that I played it. As smooth as the
players are, you would think this
would be a problem but the XBOX
processor seems to handle it with
no problems.
Graphics: I am a huge NBA fan so I know
what most of the players look like
in real life. I can tell who most of
the 3D rendered players are
without checking the names. They
did an extremely good job on the
modeling of the players and payed
great attention to detail.
Audio: The sound during gameplay could
be better, but it serves its purpose.
There are times there will be no
sound when you see the players
celebrate after an impressive
move. (Such as no sound when
the player claps their hands.)
When you control the replay, there
is no sound at all so it takes away
from the excitement and
emphasis of the controlled replay.
The music for the game was done
well. Nice soundtrack.
Suggestions: Need to be able to create teams
and players, have a franchise
mode, practice arena. Microsoft
hit it on the nose with NFL Fever
so I'm not sure why it wasn't
included in Inside Drive. Also
have a section where you can play
street ball. People may not
always want to play a regular
exhibition game or season. It
would break up the monotony. 3
point shoot-outs are always fun
and add a dunk contest. I know,
that's just wishful thinking.
Overall Score: 8.0 / 10
