360 2nd Impressions

I played Xbox 360 for the second time last night at a friends house, since I would never actually buy one of my own. Seemed like they rushed NBA 2k6. It's a basketball game so the gameplay is pretty standard so what was really supposed to be so impressive about this game is the graphics. The rendering and lighting were shoddy. The Black players and especially the coaches all look like they are emminating white lite from their bodies. The setup and load screens were all ugly too.

I played Fight Night as well and thought the graphics and overall look and feel of the game were great. It has these slo mo scenes when a fighter gets knocked down, where blood spurts out of their faces and you see the glove mush the shit out of their grills. Other than that though it wasnt all that hot. It was pretty button mashy and almost devoid of all stategery.

For the record there's an r in stRategery but other than that I agree. NBA 2K6 is horrible. The player models and overall gameplay is terrible. Fight Night Rd 3 on the other hand was incredible, but only if you own an HD TV. Punching your friend's grill and then showing it in slow motion is the most fun I've had with a video game in a long time. Keep up the good work EA Sports.
