No matter what anyone tells you, Inside Drive 2003 is NOT the same game as last year. With the addition of sliders, how can you honestly say it's the same game??
-
The new addition of the lengthy franchise mode along with the addicting create-a-player portion of the game certainly makes the game more enjoyable.
-
83Despite the beefed up single-player game, Drive's lack of online play keeps it from taking top honors from "Sega Sports' NBA 2K3."
-
82A good franchise mode and a stellar create-a-player option, but little in the way of new gameplay. The lack of online functionality hurts.
-
80Perfect for stat junkies who like the RPG element of the create-a-player feature. Casual basketball gamers might want to look elsewhere as the gameplay could use a few tweaks.
-
Where NBA Inside Drive hasnt changed much is in the visual department, and it also lacks Xbox Live support, which is inexcusable from a first-party standpoint.
-
A totally different game from the original. It doesn't matter how similar the gameplay of both versions is, it's the little (and big) additions like a Dynasty Mode and a Create-A-Player feature that makes the titles a pole apart.
-
The graphics are pretty drab and there are some pretty nasty glitches that take it down. [Dec 2002, p.108]
-
76Still lacks some of the finer details of the sport as well as some features that are being offered by the competition, most notably online play.
-
An excellent game, but needs some polish to catch up to "NBA 2K3" and "NBA Live 2003."
-
A year later, the series has packed on a couple of off season pounds, and gets left in the dust. [Nov 2002, p.142]
-
"NBA 2K3" and even "NBA Live 2003" are better overall choices.
-
A slight update of a decent game but with other similar titles making significant additions to their gameplay itís in danger of stagnating.
-
While "Live" is completely redesigned and "NBA 2K3" pushes the online envelope for the Xbox, Inside Drive has, uh..... downloadable shoes. [Jan 2003, p.210]
-
70A slightly better value than 2002 with tweaked gameplay and a few new features. The problem is that the competition has jumped ahead substantially within the same time frame.
-
Simply put, there is no reason to buy this game when there are two other superior basketball games on the Xbox.
-
The animation transitions are sloppy, and the A.I. is lacking on both sides of the ball. The controls are simply too slow to respond to your input, as well. [Winter 2002, p.99]
-
60A lackluster release with very few real improvements, not healthy innovation or genre-busting action.
-
Visually, it can't even begin to compete with the superlative graphics of "2K3" or EA's "Live 2003." [Dec 2002, p.90]
-
58A complete lack of newness. [Feb 2003, p.47]
-
50I dont think they're ready to make a playoffs run this year.
