October 17, 2007 - This game's brilliant A.I. on offense, the lightning-quick load times, the remarkably improved faces of Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitzki, the new dunk competition minigame, and the removal of 24/7 mode are a load of positives that far outweigh the hang-ups.

October 4, 2007 - Between the superb presentation, the impeccably deep Association mode, the enjoyable gameplay and the multiple online and off-line modes, NBA 2K8 nails the NBA experience better than anything available on the market.

October 17, 2007 - NBA 2K8 made a lot of lateral movements this year. It's not necessarily a better game than its predecessor, but it's just different enough to be interesting.

October 5, 2007 - NBA 2K8 is hands-down the best basketball game available, though it is facing very strong competition for the first time in a long while.

October 5, 2007 - Ultimately, NBA 2K8 is another superbly entertaining basketball sim with some of the sickest visuals you've ever seen. Hoops aficionados will appreciate the attention to player detail and even-more-intensive franchise mode..

October 10, 2007 - It's rare that a series takes as serious a step backwards as NBA 2K8 has this season. It's missing modes and gameplay features from last year's game, while adding subtle changes that few players will notice or make use of.

October 2, 2007 - In many ways, NBA 2K8 is an improved game on the court. But there are a lot of minor issues that really drag it down.
