You don’t need the right shoes to become a basketball star. In fact, you don’t need shoes at all. All you need is a Wii Remote and NBA Live 08. Featuring the new Family Play control system, anybody can rock the rim and drive to the hoop.
The first basketball game for Wii, NBA Live 08 puts the ball in your hands courtesy of the Wii Remote. To shoot the ball, all you need is a simple flick of the wrist. That’s almost all you need to know for the Family Play control system. With Family Play, all you need to do is use the Wii Remote to shoot, pass and steal the ball on defence. The computer AI will control player movement and all other player interactions. When you’re ready for a monster jam, just move the Wii Remote downward, just as if you were dunking the ball yourself.
Of course, for those more adept at playing roundball, plug the Nunchuk controller into the Wii Remote to take full control on the court. Using the motion-sensing capabilities of the Nunchuk can help you perform cross-over dribbles, just by tilting the Nunchuk in the direction you want to go. You’ll discover a variety of techniques and moves made possible only with the Wii controllers’ unique features.
The jam session doesn’t just stop at your home. Go online and play against other NBA Live 08 ballers - up to eight players can play a single game online! Grab three of your mates and take on all comers in this ultimate game of hoops.
- Play the Slam Dunk Contest and 3-Point Shootout with your friends and track your scores with your Mii.
- Re-live the greatest moments from the 2006-2007 NBA season in the Superstar Challenge scenario mode. Can you come through in the clutch? Think you can get hot and score 40 points? Prove it with goal-based achievements.
- Grab up to three of your friends offline and challenge another group by connecting online with online play. Up to eight players can play in one online court session.
- Runs at a smooth 60 frames-per-second.
