NBA courtside 2002. (Gamecube).(Brief Article)

Video Business, December, 2001 by Gibson, Jon M.

Sports, E, $49.95 Available Jan. 14. Nintendo Gameplay: Although the character models leave something to be desired, this GameCube version has one distinct advantage over other systems--a controller that makes it easy to move about the court, pass to teammates, block opponent's shots and steal the ball.

Plus, with enhanced ball physics, players can plot their defense--especially rebounds -- without aggravation. Bottom line: Sports titles are always solid renters, and with Nintendo backing GameCube with massive TV and print exposure, players should play pick-up on weekends. The sales side is trickier--three consoles and a half-dozen basketball games will distract consumers.
