This video game is superb in every aspect from graphics to gameplay. The instant replays look perfect to there player models. If you have an open lane you can pick the dunk you want to do. It is so fun to play!

This has to be the worst basketball game (or sports for that matter) videogame that I have ever played. I've rented this only twice when it came out and the controls, gameplay and graphics are definitely sloppy and very confusing that you do not know where you are at times. Plus, another thing, is that there are way too many blocks in this game, in addition to turnovers. The first two installments of the series were very good and this one-NBA ShootOut 98 dissapointed me. In fact, for everyone that has a PlayStation 1, I would get any game (including any other basketball game) besides this piece of junk.

This game is overall a very good game (for it's time). However,it does have some major defects. I do not understand why the creators left out the greatest player ever to play the game: Michael Jordan! Instead of him the programmers put in some imitation player called "roster guard". They did the same thing with Shaq, except they called him "roster center"! NBA Jam, NBA Jam T.E., and NBA Hangtime also left out "His Airness". I hope that these video game people dont do the same thing with Kobe, I may have to lead a basketball boycott.

I recently received this game for free, and I think its terrific. Although, some cons of this game are that sometimes you get confused and don't know where you are, and when your shooting the ball in the basket its all about luck and not about skills like when you really play bball.. all in all, this game is terrific even if it is a game of sports.
