I am not your typical "gamer" but I have played my share of video games in my day. I just got NBA Live 08 for Xbox 360 and it is sick! I had 2K7 for PS3 so that was the last basketball game I can compare it to...This is ... Expand full review

NBA Live 08 (PC) review

By Andy Keagle (darkzero.co.uk)

This particular reviewer is getting rather fed up of the yearly sports updates that offer little in the way of improvements or additions to its predecessor. With only slight changes from one year to the next, it gets harder and harder to recommend...

NBA Live 08 (Xbox 360) review

By Tom Pedalino (darkzero.co.uk)

NBA Live for the misinformed is EA's long standing basketball series; the latest edition (NBA Live 08 for those misanthropes emerging from underneath their rocks to feed) has a difficult task ahead of it. After last year's poorly received and...

NBA Live 08 (Wii)

By (cnet.com)

EA proved with Madden that it could tailor a sports game to take advantage of the strengths of the Wii. Unfortunately, it has proved the exact opposite with NBA Live 08. It's ugly, the controls are terrible, and the game is nearly unplayable.

NBA Live 08 (Xbox 360)

By (cnet.com)

NBA Live's transition from the last generation of consoles to the current generation has been fraught with problems--too many to list here. Nevertheless, the team at EA has kept plugging away, and it seems the third time is the charm. There aren't...

You'd never think it was possible after the last few years, but NBA Live 08 is much-improved and actually…good.

NBA Live 08

By Gerald Villoria (gamespy.com)

EA's best basketball game of this generation is fun to play, but still far from an All-Star.

Fun to run up the scores with flashy offensive moves; defensive assist alleviates frustration; slick visuals

Sliders don't work; minimal FIBA options; missing easy shots; frustrating slam dunk contest

NBA Live 08

By Joel (darkstation.com)

There is no doubt that EA Sports puts the emphasis on their Madden NFL franchise, which is the true bread winner of the bunch. In fact you very rarely

NBA Live 08 is just a much better all around game of basketball than last year’s experience, and yet it’s still not perfect. There are some AI issues, especially in the area of rebounding, the game also still has some weird tendencies that make for a...

But what it all comes down to is NBA Live 08’s ability to make for an extremely enjoyable game of basketball. Whether online or offline, you’re going to really have a lot of fun playing NBA Live 08.

NBA Live 08 review

By Cliff (gamefreaks365.com)

In the league of EA Sports, some awards could be given out. This year most would consider Madden NFL 08 the MVP; Madden's return to glory has finally come on next-generation systems. If this is the case, NBA Live 08 should claim Most Improved Player....

NBA Live 08 doesn't improve on much else, so I chose not to mention a lot of returning features like the connections to ESPN (although they are STILL underused in-game) and the standard Live play. Still, it makes strides in its gameplay and as a result...

If you were impatient with NBA Live last season, it might be wise to skip it for another year—NBA Live 09 could pull it all together, but then again, I hoped the same for NBA Live 08.
