  • Summary: Exploit the defender with a lightning quick drop step move before you launch all out attack, finishing with an impressive dunk! With enhanced player performance such as this, the most renowned basketball game ever has been improved on all levels. Run the floor with new moves, exploit the new steal system then stand back in awe as you're put right behind the cameras in replay mode. With the addition of legendary urban playground courts, including the famous Mosswood Park, NBA2K2 is the true basketball experience. Expand

    It’s the best next-gen basketball game available, easily beating "NBA Live 2002" for the PS2, which is more of a roster upgrade than a revamping of the game.

    One of the best basketball games ever on any console…period.
  3. It won't convert those who think basketball is a monotonous procession of points until the game is decided in the last 30 seconds, but its multiplayer larks will bring joy to clans everywhere.
  4. Little more than "NBA 2K1" with Michael Jordan, the Memphis Grizzlies, glitchy zone defense and an afterthought of a street ball mode.
