Description

"Sega Sports NBA 2K2" delivers a visually stunning presentation, with detailed player models that are comprised of more than 6,000 polygons each and enhanced facial animations that brings all of the game's superstars to life. The arenas in "NBA 2K" are designed to the exact specifications of their real-life counterparts and individually lit to recreate their specific look and feel. Adding to the arena atmosphere, are sideline characters such as cheerleaders, camera crews, referees, bench players, and individually modeled coaches. The high level of detail is further carried onto the court, with lifelike player models that are designed in the spitting image of their real-life counterparts, right down to individual tattoos, accessories, and hairstyles. Additionally, more than 500 new animations, including new dunks, blocks, and dribble moves, add to the game's fluid pace, capturing the rhythmic nature of the game of basketball. "Sega Sports NBA 2K2" returns with all of the familiar modes of play, including Exhibition, Season, Tournament, Franchise, Practice and Street. In the popular Street mode, the great street courts from last year are now joined by four new authentic courts in the Xbox version of the game - Hank Gathers Rec Center in Philadelphia, Run N' Shoot in Atlanta, Venice Beach in California and Fonde Rec Center in Houston. The mode also features a familiar "play to 21" street-ball scoring system. Given its improved player models and dramatic camerawork, gamers will have a hard time differentiating "Sega Sports NBA 2K2" for Xbox from a regular NBA telecast. This game is as true-to-life as it gets, with its TV-style overlays, full commentary and analysis during replays, and exciting crowd reactions.
