Coach Slam's Review: NBA Live 09 All-Play - Nintendo Wii
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
One of the great features of NBA Live 09 All-Play is the variety of ways to play. You can choose your squad from your favorite players from the NBA and WNBA, or go international by suiting up as a player from one of the 24 FIBA teams included in the game. You can even mix and match players and scrimmage in inter-league play. And when it comes to putting the ball in the hole, the game also includes significant play modes and functionality, like the slam dunk contest and 3-point shootout, multiplayer 2-on-2 games, and quick game of 21.
But what sets NBA Live 09 All-Play apart from other basketball games is the inclusion of the WNBA players. These women can do it all – dunk, shoot 3’s and block shots. You can suit up from your choice of 22 WNBA players featured in the game, including stars such as Candace Parker, Sue Bird or Lisa Leslie and take on your favorite NBA or FIBA team.
Pros:
- Flexible control scheme for players of all levels
- Variety of ways to play, including international teams and WNBA players
- Fun and interactive gameplay, perfect for the Wii
Cons:
- Graphics are not as realistic as other basketball games
- Limited customization options for players and teams
Bottom Line:
NBA Live 09 All-Play is a great choice for basketball fans looking for a fun and interactive gaming experience on the Wii. With its variety of ways to play and flexible control scheme, this game is perfect for players of all levels. While the graphics may not be as realistic as other basketball games, the inclusion of the WNBA players and international teams make it a unique and exciting option. I give it an 8 out of 10 rating.
