NBA 2K2 - Sega Dreamcast

The controls are intuitive, even for people used to the Dreamcast, especially in the area of on-the-fly play calling. You can now use the right analog stick instead of the digital pad, so you don't have to take your thumb off the main controls (left analog stick) to call a new play or change formations. Other controls let you quickly and fluidly box out your opponent, spin, shoot, pass, fake, and dunk.

There are also eight street ball courts, and the addition of this makes for almost an entirely new game. In this respect NBA 2K2 is the equal of EA Sports' NBA Live series; but this game surpasses EA's title with its excellent AI. This game is challenging, satisfying, and fun in both single and multiplayer modes.--Bob Andrews
