Summary
While Basketball is reasonably popular, it hasn’t had the grasp on Europe as it has in the United States. However, in recent times, at least from the 1990’s onwards, the NBA has exported more and more products overseas. One of these exports is video games. Keeping up with the NBA series from Fox Sports Interactive is NBA Basketball 2000 on PC. Featuring real Fox Sports announcers and commentary, highly detailed and individually rendered players, NBA2000 claims to be one of the most realistic Basketball titles to date. Adding to the authenticity of this game are the full team statistics for this 29 strong team database, including the Chicago Bulls and the L.A Lakers.
Players not used to the mechanics of Basketball games will have the chance to improve their skills in the game’s practice mode. Once you feel confident enough to take on some of the NBA’s professional teams you must prove your worth in a long, challenging season. If you’re not such a hardcore player, a quick arcade option should be sufficient.
With a huge choice of dunks and passing moves, the ability to create edit and trade your own players, backed by the NBA, NBA Basketball 2000 should be quite a comprehensive, but fun basketball game.
