o_utkin's Full Review: NBA Inside Drive 2000 for Windows
Let me say, the graphics ARE impressive – before you start to actually play. When I clicked “Start,” I was whisked away to Madison Square Garden, courtesy of a swooping bird’s eye camera view that encircles each team and provides a beautiful view of the cheering, packed house before alighting at mid-court for the opening tip. You can bypass the team introductions if you want, but I kind of liked hearing my beloved New York Knicks introduced by the charismatic arena announcer to the cheers of the hometown crowd. I selected the Houston Rockets as my opponent in this particular game, and yes, there was Scottie Pippen, and Sir Charles, and Hakeem the Dream – I was psyched. There are several camera angles that you can choose from to view the action on the court, so many in fact that any veteran NBA cameraman would be hard pressed to duplicate each one without falling onto the court. But the players themselves are largely faceless – there was some attempt made to give Latrell Sprewell his trademark cornrows and goatee, but as far as Patrick Ewing goes…well, we all agree that we’d recognize Pat’s face in any crowd, but were it not for his number 33, I wouldn’t have known which big man to feed the ball to in the paint.
