IGN: NBA 09 Preview

While the Redeem Team has won its gold medal and is celebrating its accomplishment on the world stage, both the team and its fans are gearing up for their next challenge: the upcoming basketball season. Every team has something to prove, whether that's improving on their performance from last year or, in the case of the Celtics, that the clock hasn't struck twelve yet on their Cinderella season. While there's still a number of weeks to go before the first tip off, Sony's been hard at work on the latest installment in its long-running basketball franchise. IGN got their hands on a preview build for the game to see exactly what Sony's bringing to the court.

TheStar: NBA 09 The Inside review

With a token nod to the role-playing as athlete mode most sports titles are including these days, The Inside's version, "The Life," is shallow and lifeless and, thus, not worth living through.

But if fast goofy fun is all you want from your basketball game, that's great. But you certainly shouldn't be expected to pay the same sixty bucks the top NBA games command.
