Review: NBA Live 2002
Years after Run DMC asked, ?Is It Live?? EA Sports replies, ?Oh, hell yes.?
NBA Live 2002 makes up for last year?s missteps and then some. The hi-res players look even more like their real-world counterparts, from animated facial expressions right down to authentic shoe styles. The commentary by Don Poier and Bob Elliott is not only smooth and relaxed, but also fast?they rarely lag behind the game events. The crowd always emits a steady warble, but erupts naturally when the home team gets hot. Control is quite sharp (unlike in 2001) and feels instinctive throughout. The gameplay finally matches the graphics, and the result is what basketball fans want and need in a PS2 game.
