While NBA 2K8 may have some kinks to work out in its post game, it’s still the best basketball sim on the market.

It's certainly the best basketball game on any system this year. The Association is a solid franchise mode and, if VC can iron out its AI and gameplay issues, next year's model could be something very special.

Despite a few nagging issues, NBA 2K8 is a fantastic basketball game packed to the brim with features and game modes.

Not a bad NBA 2K game. I feel like this games gets overlooked by many basketball/2K fans for some reason. Would have given it a 10 had they not gotten rid of 24/7 mode from 2K7.

Most of the game is fantastic. Even with its hiccups, this is a game that is hard not to give a blanket recommendation to because as far as NBA games go, this is still the king of the virtual court.

NBA 2K8 is superior to last year's game in almost every way, which is no mean feat.

This is the best version of the NBA 2k series in a long time. It’s a fresh breath of air and I am glad to see where the series is heading.

NBA 2K8 has excellent on-court play, awesome presentation and a packed feature set - basketball video games don't get any better than this.

The new dunk contest and other modes are nice, but the core gameplay is what should be what catches your eye, and NBA 2K8 nails it.

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.

Okay if you're looking for feature-filled b-ball - but EA do it better. [Jan 2008, p.78]
