The Wii has always been known for its fun, interactive gameplay, and NBA Live 09 All-Play is no exception. This game is perfect for basketball fans of all levels, whether you're a seasoned veteran or just starting out. The flexible control scheme allows you to choose the control style that best suits your skills, whether it's the basic All-Play control scheme for novice players or the classic controller configuration for more experienced players.

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:

With its variety of ways to play and flexible control scheme, this game is perfect for players of all levels.
