Not only does ESPN NBA 2K5 have the best graphics for a basketball game on any console, it also has the best graphics of any sports game on any console. The faces and body morphs are the best overall of any game of any genre on any platform. Visual Concepts finally nailed the graphics, and the results are terrific. The game isn't all flash though, there is substance as well. The commentary is beefed up by the recognizable voice of Bill Walton. The same great gameplay is back, as is an improved 24/7 mode, that has kept me busy for weeks on end. I am still thoroughly engulfed in this game, even months after I first got it. In fact, I didn't get any other games for Christmas, because until the end of basketball season, this is all I need. This is the real deal, it can't hurt to pick it up either. MSRP $19.99 is the best price of any new game released this year. This one is a champion. (GO PACERS!!!) Graphics: 5.0 --- Sound: 5.0 --- Control: 5.0 --- Fun Factor: 5.0
