PlayTM: NBA Live 09 All-Play Review

PlayTM writes: " Remember when the Wii controller was first unveiled? I think most people felt a mixture of excitement and trepidation. The optimist in all of us hoped that gesture-based controls would offer unprecedented immersion in games, and take us a step closer to the sort of 'Virtual Reality' that videogame players have dreamt of since the early 90s. But the pessimist wondered how accurately the remote's accelerometers would detect subtler movements, and feared that Nintendo's great white hope would simply produce scores of games that replaced mindless button-mashing with aimless wand-waving.

NBA Live 09 All-Play falls firmly into the second category. The controls are flimsy and unreliable, and will only give ammunition to those eager to point out the limitations of the Wii. This is one of too many third-party Wii games that make the remote feel like a step backwards from conventional controls, where the developers have felt constrained instead of liberated by accommodating its inclusion." (NBA LIVE 09, Wii) 30/100
