    NBA Live 06 might have an overall prettier package, but I'll take better gameplay and a complete package of game modes over flash courtside graphics any day.

    I think it plays closer to a real game of basketball than anything we've ever seen on the market before.

    It has the most substance, and presentational balance so far.

    Fully agree with the EGM reviewers. Ignore the rather suspicious user reviews and rent it if you're curious first.
