Critic Reviews

80	Official Xbox Magazine But at $20 for what is basically last year's quality game on original Xbox or $60 for the irresistible package on the 360 title offers, there's a lot to love on either platform. [Jan. 2007, p.76]
78	TeamXbox It’s a little disheartening to see how much the Xbox version is missing when compared to its Xbox 360 doppelganger, but I suppose that’s what you should expect when you pay forty bucks less for a game.
74	IGN While the presentation, Legacy and online play are all great, 2K7 feels more like a roster update. It's a great value if you don't have 2K6 and love college hoops.
72	Cheat Code Central Here’s my guarantee to you. Rent this game first and play the hell out of it over the weekend. If you don’t find that it’s totally derivative of "Hoops 2K6," then go back to the store and buy it. That way nobody gets hurt.
70	Games Radar While a few of credits shy of an A, it's a good value at $20 even without the bonus content.
70	GameSpot College Hoops 2K7 is a good college basketball game, but it's nearly identical to "College Hoops 2K6."
65	1UP there are too many blown buckets because the shot stick seems a bit inconsistent, especially right around the hoop where players should be more willing to roll in a layup or go for a dunk.
