89NBA 09: The Inside is a great portable basketball title.
-
85Anyone looking for a solid NBA simulator with a strong franchise mode and who also wants something more with their game can't go wrong with NBA 09 The Inside for the PSP.
-
82The on-court action can be tough to follow at times, but because the game makes no attempt to disguise its arcade-style action as a true basketball sim (and often flaunts its arcade attitude), the problems with the five-on-five action are easy to overlook. In fact, the mini-games add so much to this title I'd feel comfortable recommending it for them alone.
-
80It's addressed our biggest complaints from last season and added plenty of worthy material, staking its claim as a top-tier handheld NBA sim.
-
Overall, I was quite pleased with this title and you won't go wrong picking it up. It's not quite a slam dunk but it's certainly no foul.
-
80NBA 09 The Inside is a slam-dunk in almost every way.
-
Where NBA 09: The Inside shines is in its library of mini-games, more than making up for the lackluster core gameplay.
-
73NBA '09: The Inside is a decent basketball title, but an extremely fun mini-games collection. Block Party alone makes this game a worthy pick up and will satisfy your portable playing this season. There is still a functional, if not a little bit disappointing, regular basketball option, but you can see that SCE did not put enough focus into appealing to gamers who just want to play.
-
While NBA 09 doesn't transform the franchise into a dynasty, it's still playoff worthy. [Dec 2008, p.96]
