Gameplay: 8.3
There are some oddities, like a team that just hits a dry-spell for no apparent reason and can’t even make a simple lay-up, and there is a bit of a learning curve to fully appreciate the nuances of the game. The user interface can appear to be more painful than it actually is, but the game AI is very good.
Graphics: 8.4
From the courtside cameras, the game looks terrific. The players tend to lose something when seen up close, but the animations are solid.
Sound: 8.5
The ambience, from the crowd to the arena announcer, is there and the play-by-play is handled well by the trio of Verne Lundquist, Bill Rafferty and Tracy Wolfson.
Difficulty: Medium
Concept: 8.4
Some more attention could have been given to the ‘create’ modes, but the additions made to this year’s release are very solid.
Multiplayer: 8.2
Online tourneys will challenge those who have the thirst of strong competition.
Overall: 8.4
A very good game that should have fans of the college game excited. The 2K team has upped the ante when it comes to game mechanics and that makes College Hoops 2K8 an enjoyable and challenging experience.
