NBA2K3 Mini-Review by Troopa

NBA2K3 is Sega's last basketball game for the Nintendo GameCube, and it's their best ever. All of the current teams and players are here and the game features great statistics for those who want to know how many free-throws Shaq made or how many points Jordan is averaging.

The graphics and animations are very good and smooth. The sound and music fit the game nicely and the announcers add to the fun of the game. The control isn't complicated but it may take you a few games to get used to it if you're new to the NBA2K series.

NBA2K3 has many play modes - play through a season, play on the streets, shoot some swishes in the 3-pointer contest, and run your own franchise! NBA2K3's franchise mode is one of the greatest modes ever made for any basketball game. You can also create your own player to challenge Kobe or Kidd, and take your team to the championship.

Unfortunately, there is a weird glitch that will sometimes freeze your game, but people have reported that there are settings you can turn on or off which fixes the problem. Do a search on Google to find out more about this.

Conclusion
This is the best and most fun basketball simulation I've ever played, and it's not hard to pick up and play. This is an awesome one-player game and an even better multiplayer game. You and friends could create your own players and team up to smash the competition. If you love basketball and video games, then you should pick this one up!
