NBA Inside Drive 2004 Review (Polished) Jay-12/22/2009
Release Date
October 1, 2003
Playability
This game does not include excessive button-mashing like the Gamespot.com review says. Merely tap a button and your wish is the game’s command. Another addition also added defensive lockdown buttons (d-pad). I don’t know much about that because I almost never use it ‘cause I’m good the way it is. But when I have used it HOLY CRAP! The D was almost literally passing the ball to us. With great controls and no button-mashing, this game is just right for people learning sports games and also veterans.
Graphics
The moves are so fluid in this game. But faces show no expression and instead look like face number whatever the heck it is 56 or whatever number it is. But dunks make up for that. There are so many kinds of dunks in the game you can’t count. There When you dunk, it’s not just a dunk, it’s a man walking on air to get to where he needs to be. THE HOOP!
Multiplayer
I haven’t Played multiplayer here for a very, very, very, very, long time. But from what I know the multiplayer is very, very pretty (as in great).
Commentary
Unlike Madden, or NCAA baseball, I’ve had this game for quite a few years and there’s still some commentary that I haven’t heard yet. They have really funny commentary, for example if you’re having a bad day in the lane, MJ might say “Children, cover your eyes, don’t watch this game, this man does not know how to play basketball, and this is very ugly” Or, if you’re having a good day MJ might say “His shooting is 80% from the lane tonight for the 3rd game in a row” Yes, they look back on the past unlike other games.
The Crowd
If you turn of cheering you can hear people shout things from the stands. An added bonus: the crown isn’t in crappy 2-D.
Cheats
Cheats are OK. The only good cheat I know is DOWNTOWN you can play on top of a skyscraper.
Overall
This game is for all types of sports gamers and the controls are awesome.
9.2 out of 10
