College Hoops 2K8 for the PS3 Game Review      

January 10th, 2008

This game is available for the PS3 through 2K games. The reduced cost on Amazon is $54.99. Basketball fans are in for a treat with this one. Taking forward the legacy of its predecessor with improved legacy mode and new gameplay mechanics, this basketball game is not one that should be missed.

College Hoops 2K8 is highly customizable and this is one of the things I love about this game. You have the freedom to create schools, players, sound clips etc. Learning to play the game through the complicated interface is sometimes tough, but the fun of playing the game is worth it.

In College Hoops 2K8 you can create conference tournaments, play the College Hoops Classic, play in coach mode or in a number of other interesting play formats. The online play in this game is fantastic. You can play a quick match, custom match or an unranked match. There is a lag in online play sometimes and part of the fun, of course, depends on the creativity of your opponent.

In addition to the great play modes, the presentation of this game is fantastic. Although there are few changes to the on court play from the previous game, the responsive controls and the variety of animation make this game worth it. In addition the cheerleaders and mascots lend realism to this game. The sound quality of this game is better than the visuals.

On the whole this game is better than last years version in almost all parameters. If you haven’t tried out a basketball game as yet, I recommend this one. If you have played a basketball video game and want more, this is a fitting addition to your collection.
