NBA 07 for Playstation 3



Basketball loves are in for a treat with the Playstation 3 NBA 07. Game users will be pleased with the updated game mainly because of the details and the graphics. The game flows well. A major change from the Playstation NBA games of the past is that in this version you take a shot by holding the circle button. This really seems to make a great difference in the overall control of the shooting system. You will have to play with it to get a good feel because if you hold the button too long or not long enough, your shot won’t be very good. The new Playstation 3 controller works quite well with this game. The visual to let you know when to shoot is still available on the NBA 07 game as this feature has been well received on previous NBA releases.

The NBA 07 game allows you to play at two skill levels – rookie and professional. The game is very fast-paced, starting with a season, then the playoffs. Many NBA 07 users will be happy to hear that this game is online compatible, allowing you to play basketball against others all over the world. For some added variety, the game comes with several shorter games to try. There are fewer than in previous NBA versions, but what is here is designed to provide you with hours of fun and entertainment.

On the court, gameplay is fast and furious. The 3-point shoot out is good shooting practice, but it requires two players. The one area basketball fans may find disappointing with the NBA 07 game is there is no career option. That’s right, when your game is over, it’s really over. You will have to start over each time! There is a fun replay of certain plays in the basketball games though that are really neat. Players will enjoy getting to select their favorite NBA team and watch the players they have come to know and love do their stuff out there on the court.

There is a great soundtrack with this game, but it only plays during the introduction and while the game is in pause mode. Announcers make realistic comments throughout the game about shots, fouls, and errors. Players will be amused when they see the animated characters on the court chatting to each other. Changes have been made to the way the characters interact with each other on the court. Past NBA games have been criticized that a few players on the court don’t follow the ball. Even while shots are being taken they are looking the other way. This was a big issue with NBA players who wanted the game to have more realism. Rest assured this issue has been resolved on the NBA 07 game.

The NBA 07 Playstation 3 game is a great way to spend $60. This game offers excellent graphics and quality games to play. Basketball lovers will appreciate the realism as well as the online playing option. Those who have played other versions of Playstation NBA games will find that the improvements and changes made to this newest version make it the best NBA game yet. Parents will enjoy this game as well. There is no violence or gore in NBA 07, providing a quality game that you can be comfortable allowing your kids to play.
