NBA Live All Play 09
I don't play that many sports games. I'm not much of a sports viewer anyway, and certain games are so authentic they're way too complicated for me. I tend to do okay at basketball games though, because I mainly just steal the ball.
NBA Live All Play 09
The Wii version of NBA Live All Play adds body movement to the game play, as seems to be the M.O. for Wii. I'm not going to buy a Wii but I got a chance to try out NBA Live All Play 09 on it and I did okay.
Stealing is actually waving your arms around, and I grabbed as many balls that way as I ever did mashing the B button. Maybe the demo was easy at this stage or maybe my competitor was busy giving me the talking points, but if I end up playing Wii basketball, I'll remain a stealing machine.
I also managed to sink a three pointer. The shooting controls are up and down, as opposed to stealing, so again, either it was set to easy, or I found my groove pretty quickly. Either way, Wii fans should find that the sports game lends itself well to the virtual reality style of control.
