  1. A great first entry for the series on the Xbox 360, with great dynamic gameplay and a robust Dynasty mode. Far and away the best basketball game EA has released for a next-gen system.
  2. It’s quick to pick up and play, and All-American difficulty will make you strain for a win, but with a $60 price tag, this is only for the most die hard of fans.
  3. The intensity additions are all well and good, but the basic gameplay engine and A.I. system needs looked at a bit closer.
  4. March Madness 07 will make you mad it’s March and the only college hoops game you own is this one; stick with "College Hoops 2K7."

    Graphics stink, controls are no good, don't get it, 2K7 college hoops is way better. Download the 2k7 demo and you'll see. I was playing in Rupp Arena and Vitale kept saying, "Welcome to Loisville Kentucky". Expand
