Sony announced today the North American release of NBA 09 The Inside available on the PS2 and PS3 computer entertainment systems, along with the PSP.
NBA 09 The Inside provides fans with a comprehensive basketball game experience including NBA action in HD 1080p high definition, character customization, multiple gameplay modes including "The Life" and franchise mode.
For the first time on PS3, NBA 09 The Inside includes "The Life," providing fans with a chance to experience the life of an NBA professional athlete as they deal with everything from interaction with teammates to earning endorsement deals for their performance on the court. This year The Life starts fresh, allowing players to control the paths of three different characters while guiding them through a variety of challenges in three distinct storylines. Players will have the chance to work their way up the ranks, including participation in the NBA Development League, in their quest for NBA glory.

"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."
Would Crispy Gamer play this game for more than an hour? No.
Why? They don't have the head for technically sound, five-person basketball. They would rather just push people over and put up massive dunks.
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.
