4-0 out of 5 stars A Great Game
ASB is a very strong game. The graphics are well polished. I could easily tell that Derek Jeter is Derek Jeter and Bret Boone is Bret Boone because they even did detail on the players' faces!! The control is very simple. Fielding is relatively easy. Gameplay is usually sharp but is a little awkward occasionally. For example, if the CF is charging a ball, he will look like he is going to throw to second. His whole body is facing the second baseman but he throws to third. That is one of two bad things about this game. The other bad thing is that the fielders make at least 20 amazing plays per game. Sound is absolutely superb. It has everything any sports gamer would expect. The option to "buy" cards is really cool. And accomplishing great feats (two homers for the same batter, double play, ect.) rewards with "card points" which you use to buy the cards. The game is really fun but be warned: it is very difficult to master and will take about a week and a half for the average gamer.

Graphics:8.0
Sound: 10.0
Control:9.5
Fun: 9.5
Overall: 9.0

4-0 out of 5 stars this game is deep
Well to be honest so far I don`t mind this game however with that said the bigest problem I face with it is batting control ?
I have practised my batting for a while in the special batting section but I still don`t think it has very good control (maybe its just me ?) the rest of the game is very good and up to the usual standerds set by other sports orientated games on the X BOX.
I got this game for $... Australian so overall I`m happy with it, but had I paid full price for it then maybe not. Don`t listen to the 1 or 2 star rating reviews I think those reviewers maybe expected to much.Its realistic has good graphics and loads of options and rewards like base ball cards to collect.It perhaps takes on more than just being an arcade style sports game and goes into areas of management, this game is deep but not over complicated.

1-0 out of 5 stars All Star Baseball
Let's just say this game was definitely one of the worst games ever put out for the x-box. Buying this game would be a total and absolute waste of money if you want a good baseball game get Triple Play 2002 for the same amount! PLEASE I BEG YOU NOT TO WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS ........ VERY POOR GAME!It's graphics are very very ....... i dont know not good i guess,IT IS A DISGRACE TO THE X BOX AND SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN PUT OUT!whoever made this game, geez I don't know what he was thinkin, you can't contyrol the guys worth a ....In conclusion once again DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT, WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS VERY ..... PRODUCT

5-0 out of 5 stars Best Baseball Game EVER!
Dont listen to everyone saying that this game is too hard, if you dont like the batting cursor, go to options and change to eays batting dopeheads! The graphics and gameplay are far superior to Triple Play and World Series. The franchise mode is really great but can only play 162 game seasons. You should get this, dont listen to everyone giving this a 1-2/5 stars.

5-0 out of 5 stars GREAT Baseball game.
All Star Baseball 2003 is a great game. It looks and plays really well. You also have a ton of options to chose from...like alternate, throwback, or current uniforms for each team. There's an expansion mode in which you can create your own MLB team, put them in a new city with a new park. I'm amazed at how much attention to detail acclaim paid in this game. In the Franchise mode, you have a farm team to keep track of how well your young guys are developing, as well as a plethora of managerial and everyday stats. You can even check the weather report for the game, and it DOES make a diffrence in how the game is played (how well the ball travels, etc.)

This is a great game, and I'd recommend it to any sports fan. There's a ton of options so you wont get bored until All Star Baseball 2004! ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars NBA Live 2002
NBA Live 2002 is a pretty good installment of the 10 year series. It plays similar to 2001 but with some added bonuses like a decent Franchise mode (just like Madden 2002) that you one have to be careful about because all NBA league regulations with the Salary Cap count here so be careful on who you sign because it could hurt you later! And in this mode, after each season, there is also a draft which is pretty cool as well.

Also, vast improvements have been made in the game as well. It's a lot easier to hit alley oops now unlike 2001 where the ball would go 10' above the intended player's head. The annouce team is less annoying and they use a lot of player's nicknames (ex: Kevin Garnett is called KG and Michael Olawakhandi is called the Candy Man). Rebounding is no longer impossible! That was such a problem in 2001 (unless you actually had a decent rebounder or you made one). And now the computer actually plays against you unlike in the past all you had to do was head fake until they jumped and then you could just blow them outta the water. And of course Michael Jordan that is playable on a Season or Franchise mode.

There were some drawbacks too. The game got a little slower in pace. Not by much but you can tell that it got a little slower. Also, when you trade for players, make sure that you check each player on your team because I noticed that the computer no longer gives your new player a new number. Thank goodness I noticed that because at one point, I had 3 Number 21's on my team. Another thing that I liked better was that actual still pictures were used for each player (ex Player of the Game) and now the computerized image is substituted for that.

I still think that it's a great game but if you're looking for a faster pace, more challenging game, check out NBA 2K2 or NBA 2K3 because you'll be surprised how challenging those 2 are. Either way it goes, you'll be picking a quality NBA game.

4-0 out of 5 stars This game is almost there
I'm a fan of the NBA Live franchise, this game comes realy close to it, but it's not there yet.the graphics are realy good, but there needs to be more control.One the best things is that Michael Jordan is back on a team that you can use in a Franchise Mode!!!

3-0 out of 5 stars why no slam dunk contest & assesories?
De game would have been more tyte if u put an slam dunk contest and you should've added more assesories to the create player section. If you make a 2004 you should add this all.

3-0 out of 5 stars Why no dunk contest?
I would have gave it an 5, but it had no slam dunk contest. It should've. It would've made the game more tyte. And you should add more assesories to the create player section.

1-0 out of 5 stars What can I say...umm...no?
It's like this...you run, you dunk, you win. The other team's IQ is that of a small rodent. This game is SO easy. They give you the ball! Are you stupid? No? Then steer clear of this game. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

Realistic gameplay combined with total control over your team make Sega’s NHL 2K3 the game of choice for serious hockey fans. The game captures all the intricacies of the NHL, from the furious, hard-hitting action on the ice to the day-to-day decisions made in the front office. Don’t like the production you’re getting out of one of your players? Send him down to the minors for a few weeks of seasoning to get his game in order. Prefer high-scoring shootouts or 1-0 grind-it-out defensive struggles? Tweak the game’s highly customizable AI to set things just the way you like them. Regardless of your preferences, NHL 2K3 delivers the goods to make this a more than passable hockey sim.

Like most of Sega’s recent sports releases, NHL 2K3 hangs its hat on stellar gameplay and sweet graphics. Little, if anything, is overlooked: players move and react much like their real-life counterparts--goalies are especially acrobatic; the puck seamlessly glides, flips, and bounces around the rink and off the posts and goalie’s pads; players can be pinned to the boards during a scramble for the puck; missed shots are covered up by a diving goalie or slapped in off ensuing rebounds; arenas are painstakingly re-created and feature music and sounds specific to each. Off the ice, there’s plenty of strategy and options to tinker with. NHL 2K3 boasts over 30 sliders to alter effects ranging from ice friction to referee collisions. And, of course, there’s the franchise mode that allows up to 250 years of dynasty building. --Larry White

5-0 out of 5 stars The fun goes on and on!
I got this game about 8 months ago and I still say it is my favorite title for gamecube.If you want a game with an in depth franchise and unlimeted replay value this is your game.This game is so much fun.You will love it.

3-0 out of 5 stars better then nhl 2003 but still not good
buy nhl 2002 its cheaper and better you can update the rosters yourself

5-0 out of 5 stars NHL 2K3 Score !!!
NHL 2K3 Very good game . Graphics are well done the game play seems faster than EA's NHL 03 . I like the real names of the arenas and the banners as well . The crowds look real and the gameplay is realistic .

5-0 out of 5 stars The Nest so Far...
I have played EA NHL2003 and NHL2k3 is by far more realistic in the game play.The attention to the details of the game are excellent.
My favorite features are:
1. You have to actually think were you are passing to and aim the pass accurately.
2. Fighting for the puck on the boards.No hockey game ever did this.
3. Scoring is not ridiculously easy like the EA game.These goalies mean business (excellent replays and commentary)

Simply put: This game rocks.

5-0 out of 5 stars THE REAL DEAL
I HAVE PLAYED EVERY HOCKEY GAME OUT THERE...THIS GAME BY FAR IS THE CLOSEST THING TO REAL HOCKEY YOU CAN FIND...IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO BUY A HOCKEY GAME FOR ANY SYSTEM, THIS ONE IS IT!!!! ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

LucasArts' Monkey Island adventure game series has been missedoflate. It has been too long since we've visited the anachronistic Tri-Islandareain a Monkey game stuffed with vivid characters, zany plot twists, andliberal use of awful and awfully funny puns. Thank goodness that the clumsy,bumbling, and utterly charming pirate hero Guybrush Threepwood returns inEscape from Monkey Island. Luckily for him so does his bride, ElaineMarley Threepwood; unluckily, it looks like the stubborn ghost pirate LeChuckmay be back as well. Or is he? We'd tell you but that would give away too muchof the vibrant and hilarious story line.

This is adventure gaming at its very best: sharp graphics, excellent voiceacting and writing, and solid puzzles throughout. LucasArts even included awalk-through that'll get any new players into the right mindset to solve thebizarre, convoluted, and convulsively funny pun-ridden puzzles in the game.Butplayers who rely on it are missing out. Sometimes it's much funnier to dothingsthe wrong way, because the sharp-minded developers probably already thought ofit and are ready to reward you with a humorous comment or action. Completelyhilarious, drop-dead gorgeous, and always innovative LucasArts proves once andfor all there is ample life left in the adventure genre. --Andrew S.Bub

Pros:

  • Excellent voice acting and writing
  • Very funny
  • Challenging for players of all skill levels
Cons:
  • The controls could be a little more streamlined

5-0 out of 5 stars The Best Basketball to Ever Come out ! Believe Me
This game has so many options to choose from especially in the create-a-player menu form all branded shoes to cornrows headbands wristbands and fingertape. The Graphics clearly is better than nba 2k3's. So my advice to u is get this game because the gameplay and graphics are better.

5-0 out of 5 stars Addictive
I have been playing this game for a couple of months now.It is very addictive.I have enjoyed it a lot.The only other basketball game I have played before it NBA Live 2001 on the PC.This game is much better than that one.I got a good price on it too.It was well worth the money. One of the things that makes it addictive is the create a player options, that allow you to create players.After each game you get to add points to your player's abilities based on how well he did in the game.I first created players that were 7' 10".But I was able to beat the other teams too easliy.So I made them about the same size as the other players to make it more competitive.

5-0 out of 5 stars NBA Inside Drive
This is a great game!I have not played the other Xbox basketball games.I bought this because it was less expensive than the others.It far exceeded my expectations.It's quite realistic (i.e., players mimic their real-life idiosyncrasies on the court).In addition, you can create players and control their appearances and abilities.I created a 7'10" version of myself (he actually looks like me), put him on the Knicks, and get to watch myself dunk over Shaq.

Get this game.If you're a basketball fan, you'll love it.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great game with solid graphics!
I played NBA Inside Drive 2002 and at first I was slightly disappointed at how it looked compared to other b-ball games. Then when 2003 came out I got it and was immediately impressed. You can tell the difference between the two games, and 2003 is hands down a much better game. I've played NBA Live and didn't like how fast-paced it was. You can't really play defense like on Inside Drive and the A.I. seems to always make baskets. Its more realistic on Inside Drive 2003. The dunks are fantastic on this game. You get to play up to 25 seasons and defend your championship title. Another plus, which is one of the better positives to this game is the commentary. They have Kenny 'the Jet' Smith as a new addition. I've played up to 5 seasons on this game and I was shocked to hear new commentary that far into the game. The creators put together a fun game and made it solid in a lot of areas. This is definitely one to own.

5-0 out of 5 stars AWSOME!!!
NBA Inside Drive 2003 is made by the creators from the NFL Fever franchise. good simple games that are easy to play and lots of fun.

again, for more serious gamers, you might want NBA Live, but for those who just want to play, get Inside Drive 2003.

the players all look realisitic and the introductions are awsome! the game also includes Michael Jordan and some of the newer rookies like Manu Ginobili. the game doesn't include Yao Ming, but you can create him.

the team stadiums look awsome, and the crowd really gets into the game. this game is awsome! it's very smooth and very much fun to play. ... Read more

2-0 out of 5 stars Oh gosh, were back to gay stuff.
This game is really annoying and can remind you of not the cool fantasy with adventure, but the little pink fairy magic that you see in the forest. Gosh, why do people like this game so much?

Im not even giving a review, because If you get it, youll cancel the subscription the next month like I did.Look at screenshots and itll tell you.

The pictures lie, its a trick, dont listen to them!If you want adventure like that, youll have to be playing till your an old man.Get Final fantasy XI, or Dark age of camelot or something.

2-0 out of 5 stars Not that worth it :<
Yeah, this game is fun.Sure its fun when you start out.You think its a whole new world ahead of you...but its not.I cancelled the subscription to this game after about a month.You can have up to 8 characters, and they can be any class and race you wish.There are ogres, humans, elves, etc. And their classes are things like wizards, warriors, rogues, and that.It will really remind you of mythology because of their spells and stuff.

Its what people always do, they train and gain a few levels and get some cash from their enemy. Then they go buy some new weapons/armour/potions.They train till a certain level so they know they will be good enough to go out far through the everquest world.Sure, they are strong enough but they expected more.Tons of cool abilities and/or spells and items that makes it look cool like you see on trailers.But they dont get it.They train and train and accomplish nothing just like some other people are saying.Thats why I got rid of it.

If you want a good fun, action/adventure online RPG that is way more fun, then I'd suggest // Dark Age of Camelot \\I have that game and it is what I expected.Its what I call *fun* ._.

1-0 out of 5 stars Not what I thought it would be :-(
READ THIS REVIEW IT IS VERY HELPFUL

My friend got this game and he was saying stuff "you gotta get it, its so cool"I was so exited to get EQ trilogy. Finally I saved up enough money to pay for it for a few months.By the way thats a badthing, you have to pay $13 a monthly fee to play.Finally I started to play it and that weeks I played it every day.day 1, awesome.. day 2, awesome.. day 3, awesome, day 4 5 and 6, awesome... day 7, SUCKED!after a few days of playing it, not only it gets old, but you learn your way around the game and figure out that its really dissapointing.The graphics are pretty good.but thats about the only good part.its impossible to gain levels, it takes so long.After 5 days of gameplay, 3 hours each of nothing but fighting, training, fighting, training I was level 4.I didnt take one break, not a lunch break, NOTHING.Thats how hard it is.I didnt die once either.It is hard to find your way around.the 7th day before I got rid of it, it took me an hour to find the magic shop where you buy new spells to use. it is hard to use some spells, like hide.it never works. not many people are friendly.I only joined a group 1 time and that was with a friend my friend who I knew in real life.Even in the daytime, it seems kind of like it is still dark.It just barely lightens up.It is still about the same.You need a torch which doesnt help much.you can turn up your gamma and it will be easy to see but it will be like that the whole time even at night so it takes away the fun.It takes forever to get enough money to buy stuff unless you do a trade skill which is hard.It is nothing like the commercials, they say you go on challenging quests, fight dragons and other monsters, go on an adventure of a lifetime!YOUR KIDDING RIGHT? For crying out loud You have to stay in the same town until you are like level 20 which takes about a year, if youll leave in half a minute some monster will kill you.I can go on and on but I am getting tired.

SO......DO NOT BUY THIS GAME IT IS HORRIBLE!!!!! WAIST OF MONEY!!!!!!!WAIST OF TIME!!!!!!

1-0 out of 5 stars Dont buy it!
I warn you. If you get addicted easily do not buy this game. I played for over a year and I was never happy with the game but I kept playing? Why you ask? well you work so hard to get better, but once you get better you feel like you've accomplished nothing, so you keep working hard to get better but you keep getting no where. This game is terribly addicting, you'll find yourself playing for hours and hours every day. You'll probly get on right when you get off of work and wont get off unless you absolutely have to, its that bad. I've heard of people killing themselves because they somehow lose all their equipment. They even have addiction groups to join (think AA but for EQ) to try and stop playing. How sad is that? I knew this game was consuming my life so I deleted my Characters, my account and I havent ever played since. Save yourself the trouble, enjor your life (your own, not your characters) and dont get this game.

3-0 out of 5 stars Pros & Cons & Loss
Yes, I will admit it, this is a good game. I played it for eight months and eventually lost interest.

Reasons for goin' frigid?
1) I remember one of the first times I was playing this guy shouted - or whatever the exact term is, I can't remember - over the entire area that he had just leveled to 60 and was feeling very depressed. The reason is that when you invest time and energy into something something virtual that energy can't be used for something that's real. It's like preteen girls wasting their time on infatuation because it's the closest they are to true love. Except --- Most people have the option of leaving EQ and actually living their own lives.

2) I know a guy who was kicked out of college for never going to class and using the T1 line for EQ. He is now living in Texas and has a job solely to support his addiction.

3) Not impressed with the artwork/graphics/extreme polygons. (Although the textures were great)

4) I don't want to live there.

5) Neverwinter Nights. Pure friggin' ecstasy. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars "You must complete the Columns Crown..."
Columns Crown is a very unique puzzle game that most people should enjoy.I have only played part of the US version, so I don't know any details about any other games that are in this series.

First off, the graphics are very bright and colorful, despite being rather tiny.The little prologue/opening shown before the title screen is very cute and explains why the two characters are searching for the gems.It also provides very brief introductions for each of the three areas to find the gems in.I found it quite nice to have a puzzle game where there is actually an intriguing and fairly realistic storyline.

Also, the music is quite excellent, although I haven't heard that many songs.When a magical gem is used when battling an opponent, there is also a little sound effect (the name of the gem being used is announced..), and the unfortunate victime will recoil a few seconds later.

As a pleasant change from many video games, you have the option of controllingone of two characters.Before you enter one of the three main areas, you will be asked to select which character to use.The different characters will earn different gems in the same area, which means you need to balance your efforts equally between both of them.It's also nice to know that you aren't actually playing as the princess, but as her schoolfriends!

However, players will quickly learn that there is absolutely no way for the randomly-colored gems that appear in chains of three to be rotated sideways.While this adds another unique aspect to Columns Crown, it also results in the game being significantly more difficult than most puzzle games.

The survival mode also becomes very difficult very quickly, so this game may become too frustrating for young children.Players will have to spend much more time mastering Columns Crown than something like Puyo Pop.It's very easy to grasp the basic concept of the game, but it takes a veryyy long time to learn to play Columns Crown well (I'm still horrible..)

Still, for anyone who has the patience to try, try again, Columns' Crown is a vivid and addicting puzzle game.

4-0 out of 5 stars Fun Game
This game brings me back to the Sega Genesis days. It may be a Tetris [take off], but it's a different concept. Unless you're into classic Sega gaming, this will be a fun you. I recommend this for the the classic gamers.

2-0 out of 5 stars Not nearly as good as the old genesis versions
This is one of my favorite puzzle games and I wanted a copy of it for my GBA.Unfortunately, this version isn't as good as the genesis versions are.

The gems are now different shapes, which is good for color blind people.

The game speeds to unplayable levels incredibly quickly if you do not get combos of 3 or more.

There is also no "instant drop" button so you can't get the rhythm going that one does in tetris of playing as fast as they can.

5-0 out of 5 stars Very addictive
When I got this game I played all night without even realizing it.I was always a Columns/Jewels fan, and this is a portable version I can take with me.I agree it the screen is a bit dark, so the lighting has to be perfect otherwise it is hard to see.

2-0 out of 5 stars Columns climbs to the top . . . and crashes??!!
Being a huge Columns fan, I thought this game was going to kick arse!!Unfortunately, this game, even with all its new features, is only worthy of two stars.Then again, maybe it's just the dark GBA screen!!! ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Great size and reliable
I've purchased two of these controllers about four months ago and they are still working perfectly. I play Madden, MVP Baseball, 007 EON, Tiger Woods, Mario Sunshine and more. NO PROBLEMS HERE! I'm an adult and I don't bang, beat or slam my controller on the ground or wreckless with it. Maybe that's the problem for the other users who rated this as terrible. Because I am an adult I love the bigger size this controller offers. The normal Gamecube controller size is for baby hands and I just couldn't take it anymore. I recommend these even more now that they are 10 bucks!

4-0 out of 5 stars Intec controllers suck!
I had a controller and it lasted about 2 weeks.My Uncle bought an intec and it lasted 2 days!I have a pelican wirelass and it's been dependable so far.stay away from intec!

4-0 out of 5 stars g-force controller is a RIPOFF!!!!!
i got this pos for xmas 2003 thinkin it would be better than any other controller... but i was wrong. my friend let me barrow 007:nightfire and i played it and every 5 mins. I had to re-plug it because the calabration kept screwin up! and i bought 007: everything or nothing when it came out on feb 18. i brought it home thinkin how cool multi-player was going to be. but eversince i got the game i havent been able to expeirience it BECAUSE THE POS CONTROLLER WOULDNT EVEN WORK!!!!! plus it wouldnt work for MK deadly alience.... so if your planin to get a controller, say on this website... DONT GET THIS ONE! i would just get a normal one because an incodent similar to this one happened with my supper pad 64.... so do the smart thing and get a normal controller and actually ENJOY playin your games.

1-0 out of 5 stars Don't Try To Save The Money
I Bought this controller about 6 months ago, and it broke in 1 week. It doesn't even work with half of the games i've played. It's too big, and it is much harder to move the control stick. Every review i read said it broke for them too. There is one other thing that nobody mentioned. The cord for the standard controller is what, 5 feet? i seriously think this one is three.

For anyone buying this to save money, you're just going to have to pay more money to buy a nintendo brand one when it breaks! Summarized in three words: Piece of Junk. DON'T BUY IT!

4-0 out of 5 stars How does EA's only competitor stack up?
I owned every EA College Football game since Bill Walsh's College Football. Right behind their NHL-line, their College Football games were top-notch. However, after the 2001 version, I didn't get them again because I didn't want to get games until I had a PS/XBox/GC. Instead, I'd end up getting a Dreamcast when they went on sale for dirt-cheap. I eventually got Sega's College Football 2k2 version when it came out. Other than the crappy ranking system, it was a great game. Combined with the NBA2k and NFL2k serii, I had almost been completely turned into a Sega Sports fan. So, I ended up getting an XBox and going broke and splurging on a bunch of games. One of those happened to be College Football 2k3 and here's my review!

Introduction:

Obviously, it's a college football game. EA's NCAA Football's only rival. All 117 Div 1a schools, 25 bowls, the BCS (named Sega Championship Series), tournaments, exhibitions, practice, XBox Live enhanced, everything you need for a College Football game experience is here.

Gameplay: 8/10

This is an area I was expecting more of. The gameplay flows worse than the Dreamcast version, much like the graphics. It's not bad, though. One thing I'm glad they improved on is the running defense AI. My two main problems with it before were, you could run the same play over and over and they'd almost never stop it. Another problem was that even though you could do that, you could almost NEVER break runs longer than 30 yards, not even on the easiest game. I realize this could be a ''personal'' problem, but when you can't even do it with Nebraska on a team like Baylor, something is wrong. Now, if you get the right blocks and get outside, you can actually break a really long run. Also improved upon are cuts, you can actually cut while running now and not be tackled right away. By now, everyone should be used to what modes you have available. Legacy is what you get this game for. Build your team through shrewd recruiting, picking when to redshirt a top-notch Freshman, cutting the slack to have room for recruits who you aren't sure about, decisions like that will make you #1 or could make you bowlless. One thing lacking from the game is being able to edit your schedule. It could be used as a cheat, however, with the BCS (or Sega Championship Series in this game), making a weak schedule wouldn't necessarily help you. Might get you a BCS game, but not the championship game. Other than legacy mode, you have your standard exhibition mode, season mode, tournament mode and practice, where you can, obviously, practice. There's also the Sega Challenge, which lets you try and get records, and when you get them, you get a code to enter at SegaSports.com and you can win prizes and such.

Graphics: 8/10

Not bad, but I actually think they're a little worse than the 2k2 Dreamcast version. At least, the in-game graphics. The players just don't seem to be as good nor do they flow as well. The graphics overall are much better looking. The intros are nice. I must admit, I expected a little more considering the XBox's power, but nothing that takes away from the game. If you count replays as part of graphics, it might up it to a 9. I know replays don't exactly ''enhance'' the gameplay or anything, per se, but they're really nice and the multiple angles, including a reverse which shows it one way, reverses it, then goes forward in another angle. The interaction with the announcers and telestrators is reallyt great too. Since Sega has teamed up with ESPN, all the graphics are ESPN authentic as well, which is a really nice touch, better than the generic graphics Sega has been using.

Sound: 8/10

The announcers are pretty good about not being too repetitive. They interact with the play on the field very well. Most teams fight songs are there, however, depending on your sound settings, it's hard to hear them sometimes. The sound effects are pretty good, though some taunting would've been really nice. Not a whole lot more to say about the sound.

Replayability: 10/10

Obviously there is no reason to ever stop playing this game. Withover 117 teams, you could do a legacy with all of them, even if you just simmed the whole legacy, it would take forever. Changing recruiting styles and play styles is also a good way to keep playing. Ever though of changing Nebraska into a pocket passing team? You can try doing it right away with Jammal Lord or wait and recruit a passing QB. Things like that will keep you playing for months.

3-0 out of 5 stars graphics stink
The graphics in this game stink, the players just jump straight up or dive stright forward. u can hardly complete any passes in this game either. i rated this a 3 because its legacy has a little more depth than EAs but other than that its not that great for gameplay

Mark, 14

I LOVE this game. The Best player on this game is #4(conerback) on Kanas State. This player is really TERENNCE NEWMAN! Conerback For the Dallas Cowboys Drafted in the 2003 draft.(5th pick overall by the cowboys

5-0 out of 5 stars Some times you gotta be smart, immature reviewers
First, let me point this out: those two bad reviews for this game were reps from EA or they couldn't play the game because it was too hard. EA college football 2003 is not as good as 2k3 because it doesn't have the options like 2k3. THe graphics, sound, and espn coverage realize this game to be superior. THe gameplay is basically the same but sega's scheme is better handled. And alas, online play, the greatest thing ever to happen. Legacy mode is tedious but in actuallity, it is for the true simmers, meanwhile season mode is for the hardcore footballers.

Once again EA is second best to the glory that is sega, and no, I don't work at sega, I just love their superior products.

1-0 out of 5 stars dont get this
this game is was alright at first, i enjoyed winning but that gets very old. The create a player is horrible. You can not have any detail with your player, as compared to live when you have many details. And what is with bo outlaw winning mvp every year? He is washed up and is a horrible player! That shouldnt happen. and the gameplay is not very great ethier. It dhould have the regualar controls like the Y button as block or rebound, not in this game. so i recomened you save your money and dont buy this, or go buy nba live 2003 or 2002, they are worth the money, not this game isnt.

2-0 out of 5 stars ESPN NBA 2Night 2002
This game is not the best basketball game out! I rented it for 5 days and it got very old! I would not recommend this game because you can hit the three too many times and win too badly.
I liked the "NBA 2k3" game and the "NBA Live" game a lot more because they are more challenging and have better graphics.

Bottom line: this game stinks!

5-0 out of 5 stars so cool!
get this game! you won't be sorry. best basketball ever!

5-0 out of 5 stars This game is AWESOME!!
A must have for NBA fans, and also T-Mac fans!

Take control of T-Mac and his game and lead the Magic to the NBA title! This game contains all the players and teams, but it has the most important feature of them all, the edit player feature!! For example, if Troy Hudson, who wears number 11, was traded to the Pacers, he cannot wear the same number, because Jamaal Tinsley has 11. Other games would simply ignore that fact, and both players would suit up with the same number, which is so unrealistic! You can't have two players wearing the same number! NBA 2 Night's awesome EDIT PLAYER feature allows you to edit the number yourself, that way T-Hud can wear 11 and you can change Tinsley's to an odd number like 46 or something.

Another thing would be hairstyles and headbands. If a team, like the lame duck Hornets, decides to sport headbands for their playoff run, you can modify each player so that they can have headbands! No patches or cracks required for those! Same thing with hairstyles, if a team decides to shave their heads for the postseason, you can do the same thing in NBA 2 NIGHT! Simply modify the player so they can have a shaved head! If Mike Miller decides to have corn rows, then edit Mike's hairstyle and give him the 'rows!! Now that's awesome, no other game has this!!

After you win a championship with the Magic, you can take control of the other teams in the league, along with superstar players like Shaquille O'Neal, Kevin Garnett, Chris Webber, Gary Payton, and others! This game also has the grizzled vets like Karl Malone, Patrick Ewing, and his Airness, plus brash rookies like Brendan Haywood, Zeljko Rebraca, and Tyson Chandler!

1-0 out of 5 stars dont buy this game
I bought the nfl primetime thinking it would be a great game but it [stinks] and i realized why Konami made it. I dont recommend buying any sports games produced by konami.

Amazon.com Review

Look no further than Sega Sports' NFL 2K3 if you're seeking a more than worthy alternative to the established Madden football franchise. The game's superb graphics alone are enough to draw in any fan, but its in-depth gameplay and ESPN broadcast presentation easily rank this as the finest football game Sega has released to date.

Thanks to its smarter-than-your-average artificial intelligence, NFL 2K3 sports a somewhat steep learning curve that requires sound football simulation instincts. Knowing your team's strengths and weaknesses will ultimately be of benefit if you hope to win at the game's advanced levels. Be prepared to mix up your play calling and make adjustments, instead of thinking the same old reliable plays will get the job done. Of course, practice mode is always there if you need to work the kinks out of your game plan and master the multitude of offensive and defensive sets at your disposal.

Graphically, sports games don't come much better looking than NFL 2K3. Among the highlights: player animations are amazingly realistic and lifelike, and a wide array of facial emotions appear that are relative to game scenarios. Stadiums are painstakingly recreated to take on an almost postcard feel, and replays access a wide variety of angles that put you right on the field or in the stands.

One area in which NFL 2K3 easily aces the Madden games is with its game commentary. As part of the game's ESPN broadcast presentation, announcers Dan Stevens and Peter O'Keefe call every bit of the action in varied detail. The pair is far removed from tired and stale Maddenisms, offering worthwhile play breakdowns, player assessments, and quips that actually don't make you wince (at least not too often). Stevens and O'Keefe, not to mention the crowd, will let you hear about it when you bite it on the field. --Larry White

Pros

  • Superb graphics in most areas
  • Commentators sound realistic and rarely repeat themselves
  • Challenging AI forces you to adapt your game plan

Cons

  • Receivers can't be put in motion
  • Slow, lofting quality of the passes
  • No ability to challenge plays
  • Often unrealistic player animations

This review refers to the PlayStation2 version of this game. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars fun game but does lack in some areas
dont get me wrong i enjoy playing this game. but it does lag in some areas. passes have a lobbing quality so that means a lot of time for you (and the DB) to get to the area the pass will land. this is annoying. try selecting 'maximum passing' option, but it doesnt help much. another is u can only change your depth chart permanently, meaning u cant change personnel in specific packages only once, you have to do it each game. very annoying if you like a certain dude to return punts and kickoffs. OH! and maybe the worst thing is that when creating a player, you cant select what college they went to! how sega left out that minute detail is beyond me, because as long as the create a player feature has been around youve been able to select what college they went to! BIG MISS. also, the difficulty level b/w rookie and pro is HUGE. i can kick butt on rookie level, but cant do anything versus pro. very annoying. i do enjoy this game tho, for its graphics, gameplay, and just in general overall fun.

3-0 out of 5 stars Madden
Madden is the way to go!I have played both and the only thing 2K3 has on Madden is Live enabled.

5-0 out of 5 stars The bottom line is...
this game is more fun than Madden and every bit as realistic. People are creatures of habit and that is the only reason Sega hasn't totally overtaken EA in the sports area.This is the same reason people still buy PS2...You won't be disappointed!

1-0 out of 5 stars Is everyone blind?
Why does everyone love this game so much? I can spend an hour going over all the negatives I found playing this frustrating game. Did they do any user testing when they developed it? This game is more flash than substance. It cannot hold a candle to Madden. The ONLY good quality about this game is that you can play it live. EA and Microsoft are being stupid and not allowing Madden to go online for Xbox, so if you want to play Live, get this game, but don't bother with anything else. Just be prepared for unrealistic football play.

4-0 out of 5 stars Not bad for Live
When playing 1 versus 1, the other person can see what play you are calling(on offense and defense), so you have to set your audibles correctly(only 3).Although on Live, the other person does not see your plays.Very fun to play Live. ... Read more

This game is very good. The graphics are pretty good and the music is also. The controls are easy and there are so many tracks to choose from! This game is a must for first-time gamers who don't like really bloody games.

4-0 out of 5 stars Fun to play
I would have given this game 5 stars but it didn't have the Road Runner and it could have better graphics. Still my 4 year old son loves it and we enjoy playing it a lot. In easy mode is really easy and even he can win races. I like it because is not one of thos impossible to play games with 900 levels of which unless you are a big time gamer you'll only get to see 2 of them.

2-0 out of 5 stars My kids thought it was OK but .....
I thought it [stunk].How can a game that has to be played on a 250 dollar machine be so far behind with graphics?OK if you are 6 years old.

2-0 out of 5 stars Too hard to control
I find this game to be very frustrating.The slightest touch of the controller sends the characters flying off the race track.I tried it with a steering wheel with no better results.I can't do it, let alone my 5 year old.

3-0 out of 5 stars Misleading on the characters
...I saw it on amazon and wanted it because I am a huge fan of Taz and saw that he was in the game.But when my wife and I played it, neither of us could find Taz and I was very disappointed with that finding.I still enjoy the game, but on the other hand, I am upset that they mentioned Taz being in the game, and he wasn't. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars The best NBA game out there.
This game is the best NBA game out there.It has great graphics and detail.The free throws are challenging but not to hard like NBA Live 2003.Put it this way I bought NBA Live 2003 to give it a chance and give it two thumbs down.Today I'm going to Toys R Us to buy NBA Inside Drive 2003.But this version is the best yet.

5-0 out of 5 stars it's an all around great game
This game a great game to play with your friends.Evert time we play its a blast.The dunks are ausome, you can even break the rim.This game is also real it exactly like playing a real basketball game.

2-0 out of 5 stars Microsoft's First Venture Into the Basketball World Is a....
Failure.Here's why

1. No Franchise mode, I mean come on!Franchise is everything, and is what killed this game.No franchise = No real fun.I probably would have gotten it if this hadn't been the case.

2. The overall gameply.According to everyone it's to easy, the annoucers are horrible, the players look stiff.And is it just me, or is the stadium really dark?So much more could have been done.Better gameplay, graphics, and overall depth is how this game failed.

What I did like about this game was the passing and shooting style.The passes were cool and easy, and the shots looked awsome.Unfortunantly, everything is dark, the rims dont look like rims, and the gameplay is easy to beat.Trust me, I've played this game.

Overall, this game just didn't live up to what it could have been.But Microsoft already fixed the problem with the 2003 edition.The game has a ton of dunks, fluid player animations, and a whopping 25 season franchise mode.Sure, it's 60% more to pay, but it's either that, or this.Go for the new and improved 2003 edition.Either that, or go for NBA Live 2002 or NBA 2K2.Thx!

3-0 out of 5 stars A little disapointing.
I was really looking forward to NBA Inside Drive. I had been playing NFL Fever for months and thought this would be the B-ball equivilant.It's NOT!The graphics are decent (NFL Fever is better), the play-by-play announcers are entertaining, and there are some cool dunk sequences, but it left me wanting more.I think the main reason I tired of this game much more quickly that NFL Fever is the lack of a Dynasty mode.There is no salary cap,no create-a-player, and no dynamic player performance.Sooo, the team you create, is pretty much the team your stuck with, game after game, season after season etc. etc.I bought this game and really don't feel it was worth the $$$.

5-0 out of 5 stars GREAT GAME !
There is a dispute with Inside Drive and NBA 2K2. Well I have played both games. Both of these games are 5 star. I think they are both evenly matched. ... Read more

2-0 out of 5 stars Hitting?
The hitting interface in this game is awful. When the computer throws fastballs up in the corner or anywhere besides the target, then you can't hit it. What I do is wait for a pitch to come down the middle and swing the bat. I wish I could get my money back for this piece of trash. I mean, how fun is a game where you can't hit the ball???

This game stinks. When you think you have a double they throw it in to the second base man and usually get you out.A lot of times when the ball is like ten yards down they usually make the catch unbelieveable!! this game is not worth the money.

1-0 out of 5 stars DON'T PLAY THIS GAME!!!!!!YOU'LL BE SORRY!!!!!!
I want that hour of my life back!!!It is darn near impossible to get base hits, let alone home runs!To top it all, I took a no-hitter to the bottom of the 9th and on the last pitch the game broke it up!!! DON'T BUY IT!!!!!

4-0 out of 5 stars Awesome
This is the most realistic Baseball game I have ever owned.The Franchise mode is amazing.The players look realistic and it really looks like you are playing baseball.There are a few problems.If you are in the lead the ather team comes back in the next few innings, so it is extremely hard to win.If you want a relistic baseball game then this is the one for you.

5-0 out of 5 stars ASB 03 is a Great Game

4-0 out of 5 stars The All-Star Series is BACK!
Of course all of you baseball fans out there that have a nintendo system know about the game series of All-Star Baseball that has continued from 1999-2004. Everyone that has owned one of these games knows how great it is. There is no dissapointment when you've gotten your own addition of All-Star Baseball 2003. The graphics are great, the gameplay is good, and the commentary is outstanding. The 2003 addition has some more features for all of you All-Star fans.

Of course, since 1999, all the All-Star games feature the same diffeent types of gameplay including: Exhibition, Season, Series, Home Run Derby, Batting Practice, Create A Player, etc. Well get ready All-Star lovers because this 2003 version has a brand new feature never seen before. The new feature is called "Expansion Mode." This mode allows you to build your own baseball team. First, you chose from over a dozen major cities througout the US that have never been used before such as: Dallas, Hartford, Birmingham, etc. Then you choose your team's new stadium with 6 never before used staiums. Then you choose the team's logo which includes everything from: Aviators - Tornadoes. Then of course you have a player draft to put your team together and make it come alive. The last thing is choose your league either National or American. This features is awsome!

A new minor feature is in Season mode. First of all, you can create your own player and put him on the team roster before you start a season. Remember you couldn't create another player once your in Season mode? Well on this one you can! Anytime during the season you can create another player and add him to your roster. Another small feature is the Weather Forecast. On the main menu of your season there is an icon that says Weather Forecast. When you enter this option it shows you all the forecasts for all the scheduled games for that particular day. There is a huge US map that has a star on the location you're looking at the forecast for. It Below it displays the game of who versus who, the day's high and low temps with a weather picture next to it such as: Rain, Sunny, Cloudy, Overcast, etc. Then it displays the current temp, and also the wind speeds along with the precipitation percentage. This is a real cool feature.

The gameplay is outstanding. The game features accurately updated player batting and pitching stances. Also it features new throwing and fielding manuevers more and more like real life. The faces are so incredibly detailed that you actually think you're at the game! The stadiums look 10x better than ever before and also include the new stadiums for Expansion mode, Batting Practice and Home Run Derby.

However, there is a bit of a downside to the game's gameplay which is why I rated the game 4 stars instead of 5. In all the All-Star games the cathes are a little off to the side and not exactly lined up with the glove. That is basically the only downside to the game. Other than that this game is undoubtably amazing. This is the best of the All-Star series yet and it just keeps getting better and better from here. It's all up from here on!

3-0 out of 5 stars ASB2k3-new but old
Now that ASB 2004 is out, I think you are better off buyiing that. ASB 2K3 does not include a manual instant replay and many other cool things.

2-0 out of 5 stars All Star?What!?
This has to be the weakest baseball series there is.Buy a different baseball game and be much happier.

3-0 out of 5 stars ok but bad for season play
There are a lot of things about this game that are great: the players batting is very realistic, the commentary is clear and applies to the gameplay, and the players remind you of the actual people they represent. However, the gameplay is among the worst in baseball video game history. Running the bases correctly is an experiment in futility. Hits that should clearly be a double (off the wall, in the gap) inevitably end up with the runner being thrown out at second because the game stops the player at first and you have to madly press on the gamepad to get them to run to second, which they do inevitably, but too late. Fielding is inaccurate for the outfield. Players stand under where the ball is dropping and it bounces in front of them. Also, every time I play in the season mode, the game ends up letting the better teams from that year (especially the mets and yanks) score 12 runs. These are great teams, but not that great every game. Anyway, I was sorely disappointed with the season mode for all of the details mentioned. But the game is a lot of fun for a buddy to come over and play with. If you are looking to just mess around and play a video game once in a while it's not bad at all, especially for a reduced cost (I would say the game is worth about [money]), but stay away if you want to have a long term investment in a fantasy league.

4-0 out of 5 stars Good Baseball game
This is a good baseball game if you are a hardcore fan.I like the expansion option alot.the only problem with this game is that it is too repeditive, and hard for a newcomer to pick up (I played one of my friends, and we stopped playing because I was winning too badly).Over all, though, I liked this game a lot.
Hasta Luego,
