4.0 out of 5 stars Okay, but similar to the rest, November 4, 2000

This review is from: NBA Shootout 2001 (Video Game)

This game is pretty good, first of all. But if you have 2000, then there's no use in getting 2001. The graphics ar just a very little bit better, and the game still has the hundred some slam dunks, which is cool. Has no new features or anything amazingly attractive, but still a good game. I only reccommend it if you don't have 2000.

1.0 out of 5 stars Yet another poor showing by the dismal 989 studios, January 5, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: NBA Shootout 2001 (Video Game)

Overall a rather mediocre effort with many flaws. Gameplay is a bit choppy and the computer has a tendency to heavily favor the team its controlling. Once the CPU decides to catch up they're practically invincible, I had a VERY difficult time beating teams like the Wizards and the Bulls with teams like the Lakers and Suns. Going back as far as the days of Double Dribble on the NES, I'd have a hard time finding a basketball game I'd consider to be less fun than Shootout 2001. However, there was a bright spot or two. The icon passing mode works rather smoothly, and the play by play commentary is quiet well done, but both are to be expected of a basketball game in this day and age.

I have never played a game in the Shootout series but have heard they are all similar. Well then they must all be bad. 989 Sports may want to know that most nba players do not shoot granny shots, because besides dunks that all they do in this. If you play on rookie mode with the option of keeping the score close on , there will be a 35 point difference at halftime. Thr create a player and dunk modes are awesome ,but with the option of creating a dunk why didn't they include a slam dunk Contest. Shootout yes Shootout is also missing a 3 point shootout. If you have PS2 wait for live. If you do not, but do have PSX get live. If you must rent this.
