CheatCC says, "In the end, the game of basketball on offer in NBA 10: The Inside for the PSP simply isn't the complex, free-flowing sport it should be. Still, I am quite sure the game would be very good if brought to the PS3 and PS2, because it wouldn't be bastardized by system limitations and punishingly wonky controls. Alas, NBA 10: The Inside is strictly a PSP release. If you're a basketball fanatic that simply must have hoops on the go, this may in fact be the best title you're going to get considering the SCEA San Diego pedigree; however, don't expect to play it outside of short stints in the subway or while stuck in a public bathroom stall with no sports section."
All in all, this is a very solid game. It manages to provide an enjoyable basketball experience for the whole spectrum of basketball fans; deep enough for the hardcore NBA fan, yet still approachable for the novice. While even the Recruit difficulty is more difficult than PSLS would like to see, it is still a very fun, playable experience.
Even after you have exhausted your thirst for basketball, there is still a lot of fun to be had with the mini-games. If *wink* *nudge* they were to release the mini-games as a standalone bundle on the PSN, they would find their coffers overflowing.
Gamerevolution: I wish I was little bit taller, I wish I was a baller... And in some cases never picked at all...
It's gotta be a little lonely being an outside party to EA Sports' decadent conglomerate orgy. Imagine being that kid in after-school extracurricular basketball who is always picked second. Despite having trained harder than ever this season, you harbor a hidden acknowledgment that you'll never be quite as formidable of a baller as the jerk-ass who just made team captain. How do you save face? Maybe if you bring your teammates a bunch of crap unrelated to actually playing basketball like fresh-baked cookies or beer, they'll love you, err... more?
A well priced, good looking, decent playing, stuffed to the gills PSP basketball title. Diehard GameFAN honestly didn't think they'd be saying this when they first opened this one up, but it was a lot of fun reviewing this one and they're glad it made its way to them. Diehard GameFAN think any PSP owner who's a basketball fan should have this title. Between the smooth gameplay and all the extras, you really get your money's worth on this one.
