...in the PS3. NBA Live is probably the best basketball game franchise. They've come a long way already. And this addition was in fact good, if it doesn't lack the features that I'm looking for. First off is the gameplay, it's still the same NBA live, but with better movements and AI.They look more human than the PS2 version and the PSP version where they look like midgets playing. And the movements are more fluid. The game features several game modes, ... ...Championship. This actually offers more players, but then it still lacks some that I'm looking for. Like the one-on-one, they don't have it here. Also, the loading time is really slow, sometimes reaching about 20 sec., but then there's a trivia game to cover the slow loading time so it's still good. The highlight of the franchise is the Dynasty mode, where you can drive your team a whole season over and over again. Rookies are simulated and created, ...

Advantages: fun to play, Disadvantages: lack of visual effects
NBA LIVE 2008 is my most favorite PSP game of all time. Probably because I am an avid NBA fanatic. It is really fun to play it. Especially when you are with your friends. Whenever I have the opportunity to play it, I didn't notice the time pass by. I really love to play it. My favorite team is the Denver Nuggets. I always use that team and play against different teams like the powerhouse Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers. And of course, my ... ...only entertains you during your dull moments but also teaches you some lessons. Well If you're a basketball player, you can learn many basketball moves and techniques there which you can use to enhance you basketball skills. And you can also learn to focus.

...John Whoo???
Everyone knows John Woo for his amazing karate films and slow motion fight sequences, but in transforming this into a ps3 game has he managed to pull it off? Well lets find out.
Controls
Unexpectantly pretty simple. The usual R1 to shoot L2 to cover etc layout but then just an R2 button to enter slow motion. Circle to interact with object etc. It's all pretty basic but when it all comes together it works out really well I think.
Graphics
The graphics, I'm sorry to say are not worth of being put anywhere near a ps3. When you look at games like "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune" or "NBALive08", which are aesthetically amazing, this looks like it has been drawn by retarded filipino children at 10p an hour, which I can asure you is not a good thing! Cut scenes are shocking for a next-gen console they could have quite...

Additional information
Detailed Description: When the game is on the line and the ball is in your hands, what will you do? Will you penetrate, drive the lane and rise above the rim for a monster dunk, or find an opening on the perimeter and sink a game-winning three? Take control of the game with a full arsenal to win the one-on-one match-up from every spot on the floor with NBA Live 08. Taking a page out of NBA STREET Homecourt's book, NBA Live 08 introduces Quickstrike Ballhandling. This intuitive gameplay mechanic is mapped to the right analog stick and gives you the direct responsiveness you need to perform a full repertoire of ankle-breaking ball-handling moves that let you dominate on the perimeter. Pass the ball inside and win in the post with all-new 'own the paint' post play for the big men down low. Use the new shot-countershot control to string together combos of fakes and shots to fool your defender into committing and create space for the game-defining bucket. On the perimeter, in the paint, and with complete authenticity to the sport of basketball, dominate with your go-to move with NBA LIVE 08.
