NBA 08 (PS3) (PlayStation 3 Games)

Can this shoot the hoops?

NBA replay, SIXAXIS controller

NBA 08 is a good attempt at taking the king of the court status, but it's still missing those killer elements to make it a must-have

All-New Progression System – NBA '08 introduces a new system of rewarding players for game exploration and advancement by providing numerous customizable player options. As gamers play NBA '08, they will be challenged to complete tasks and goals that...

NBA 08 is a decent basketball game on the PS3, however the SIXAXIS controller system will still need some time getting use to. Brilliant graphics, engaging commentary and good old fashioned basketball fun is what NBA 08 will offer PS3 gamers....

Dan heads to the court with NBA 08.

NBA 08 ultimately is too hit and miss to warrant becoming anything greater than an average basketball title. However with this only being its second iteration this reviewer will look to the future, as some nice gameplay features were implemented since...

When the PS3 was launched the big hullabaloo was about how it was the only true HD system and Sony's release of NBA 07 flaunted that characteristic endlessly. Now that the PS3 isn't the only 1080p console out there, one would think that the pomp would...

I honestly have a hard time recommending this title, especially because of how stripped down this game is in comparison to the other two NBA titles that are making a 2008 appearance. In order to make their game a contender or even be considered a top...

My basketball gaming days date all the way back to Double Dribble on my Nintendo Entertainment System--you know, back when we played games because they were fun. I didn't care much for realism back then, either. Fast forward to today, and it's clear...

In all, NBA 08 isn't a terrible game, nor is it a good one. I know I've probably come off just a tad negative, but when you're comparing it to such a great game in NBA2K8, the issues with NBA 08 become magnified. With two other options available on the...

If you're in to basketball, this year's offering of NBA 08 from Sony has got you covered no matter what your preferred PlayStation. And rather well covered at that, mostly due to the otherwise superfluous supplemental content, like reliving games of...

Generally speaking, Sony's NBA 08 is a good basketball simulation. Specifically speaking, however, each platform for which is it available sports a unique take on the otherwise same core game. The PlayStation3 version, for example, is exceedingly...

Sony rebounds from last year's PS3 debut, but '08 won't be rattling any rims.

Visually impressive; fun to grow created player's stats even without using him; new mini-game challenges each week is a cool concept

Controls can take some of the fun out; not much to do beyond main game modes; the lack of a franchise mode hurts

Coming off a promising title in NBA 07, I had high hopes that the series would take another step forward. Well, I was right in a sense, but that step was in the completely wrong direction. NBA 08 isn't a bad basketball game by any stretch, but there...

While there's a lot of great ideas in NBA 08, SCEA San Diego apparently forgot to work on the basketball game itself. You're better off looking elsewhere this year.
