	PS2 VIDEO GAME REVIEWS... NBA ShootOut 2003 __________\|
		NBA ShootOut 2003 is a good looking game, but isn't perfect by any means.
		NBA ShootOut 2003 seems to give a little you a little bit of lee-way when you are being blown out, however.
		NBA ShootOut 2003 is a little rough around the edges, but overall a great game.

	GamingWorld X - NBA Shootout 2003 Review
		So, overall, NBA Shootout 2003 is indeed a great improvement upon past games in the series, but it still lacks in a couple of key areas.
		Sadly, NBA Shootout 2003 comes across as slightly below average concerning the players, as their facial expressions are rarely “expressed” to a satisfactory level.
		Overall though, NBA Shootout 2003 is simply not a good looking title, and while the fun gameplay overrides the lacking visuals, it still would have been nice to see some higher quality graphics.

	The Sports Gaming Network - Basketball : NBA Shootout 2001 (PSX) Review
		With the 989's recent release of NBA Shootout 2001 for the PSX, it's still more of the same and almost an exact duplicate of last year's title with just a few extras thrown in for good measure.
		NBA Shootout's strong suit is its player models.
		Gameplay for the Shootout series has always been decent, but it's also why year in and year out the game has been a distant second to the Live series.

	Shootout2003
		NBA Shootout's visuals have also undergone a major upgrade but are these changes enough to land it in the elite leagues?
		This year's NBA Shootout has a bevy of new features and some significant control improvements that mark major improvements in gameplay while adding to the series depth.
		NBA Shootout also allows you to change player positions, such as switching a center with a blocker, to make a more effective configuration.

	PS2 Game Reviews: NBA Shootout 2004
		NBA Shootout 2004 is just the latest in a long line of games showing that 989 remains a step behind the competition.
		NBA Shootout's greatest strength is the sheer number of options it offers.
		NBA Shootout 2004's biggest weakness is where it matters most - the gameplay.

	The Sports Gaming Network - Basketball : NBA Shootout 2002 (PSX) Review
		After playing ShootOut extensively, I have to admit that Eagle has grown on me. I have found that his announcing is pretty dead-on and there is enough variety to keep you from stuffing your ears with cotton balls.
		NBA ShootOut for whatever reason, lack of space or time or money, decided to rid itself of all the normal gameplay modes and intricacies.
		I would think that NBA ShootOut is trying to find its niche as the bridge between a pure simulation such as NBA 2k2 and a true arcade like NBA Street.

	NBA ShootOut 2004 - Playstation 2 Reviews - The Armchair Empire
		NBA Shootout 2004 (NS) has made significant strides in improving the Shootout series, but unfortunately it's not enough to stack up to the competition.
		You end up playing their NBA teams, but against less skilled players who wouldn’t be starters for a game.
		NBA ShootOut 2004 isn’t a bad game of b-ball, but there are a number of better games available.

	NBA Shootout 2004 review for the PS2
		While the superstars routinely grab headlines with their big stats, inflated salaries and flashy play, most of the NBA is composed of average ballplayers just trying to eke out a living on the measly league minimum of $366,931.
		But like most of NBA Shootout 2004, this is lost on a game that simply doesn't have the gameplay or graphical goods to challenge Live or ESPN.
		At one point in time, Shootout was a serious contender; 989 might want to go back about 7 years and re-examine what got them there in the first-place'which, incidentally, is not where this one finishes.

	PS2 Game Reviews: NBA Shootout 2003
		NBA Shootout 2003 is a rather poor depiction of what the Playstation 2 is capable of doing in terms of visual performance.
		Shootout 2003 offers a very in-depth sense of basketball and presents numerous features that are nice to see in a basketball title.
		NBA 2K3 and NBA Live 2003 are the games to contend with right now, and that's all there is to it.

	NBA ShootOut 2004 for PlayStation 2 Review - PlayStation 2 NBA ShootOut 2004 Review
		Tracy McGrady, shooting guard for the Orlando Magic, was last year's NBA scoring champion and is widely considered to be one of the top five basketball players in the world.
		ShootOut 2004 does include some juke moves mapped to the right analog stick, but the implementation and variety pales in comparison to NBA Live's freestyle or ESPN NBA's isomotion.
		NBA Live 2005 plays a solid game of basketball, but even the flashy new features can't hide the fact that it isn't a huge step up from last year's edition.

	NBA ShootOut 2004 (PS2) Reviews on Darkstation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The shootout series in a lot of ways is still playing catch up, and it shows with some of the features they added this year.
		NBA Shootout 2004 is still a basketball game and for that it does have its positive sides to it.
		NBA Shootout 2004 still has not caught up with the big boys, and from the looks of things 989 Sports is going to have a lot of work to do if it even wants to attempt to get up close to the top next year.

	NBA Shootout 2004 preview, looking at the upcoming basketball game from Sony - UGO.com Games
		The NBA ShootOut series has been around since 1997, but it's been in the shadow of EA's NBA Live and Sega's NBA 2K series on the current generation of consoles -- and as mentioned before, last year's version was especially disappointing.
		NBA ShootOut 2004 will also be equipped for online play via 989 SportsOnline, a feature that was sorely missing from last year's game.
		While NBA Live and NBA 2K are certainly the basketball games to beat until further notice, it'll be interesting to keep an eye on NBA ShootOut, to see if all the changes translate into a better game.

	NBA Shootout 2004 for PS2 video game review and cheats (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		NBA Shootout 2004 puts forth a comparable effort as far as features are concerned.
		NBA Shootout 2004 has some control issues that are frustrating such as trying to dribble around an opponent and running into their invisible force field and graphics that aren’t terrible but aren’t near the caliber of the other two.
		NBA Shootout 2004 isn’t a bad game by itself but when compared to the competition, it’s never going to get off the bench.

	NBA ShootOut 2004 Q&A - The Armchair Empire
		Sony's NBA ShootOut franchise gets better every year and we talk with Eddie Cramm, producer on the project, regarding its latest iteration: unlocking players, changing player attributes on the fly, and shooter drift (among other topics).
		One thing that we realized in all the hours that we spent watching the NBA is that players, when moving up and down the floor non-aggressively, move at basically the same speed.
		NBA ShootOut 2004 is the most balanced sim on the market.

	NBA Shootout 2001 at Psxa2z.com!
		The venerable NBA simulator adds a cornucopia of technical advances to the game, such as greatly improved opponent artificial intelligence (AI) that is better able to manage passing, fouls, time-outs, and the clock, and a newly designed game engine that operates at 60 frames per second with state-of-the-art ball, rim, and collision physics.
		Graphically, the game is reproduced with all 29 NBA teams, more than 1,000 motion-captured moves and 50 signature dunks of the game's stars, and player models that incorporate height, weight, body style, texture-mapped faces, head shapes, and skin tones into their composition.
		NBA Shootout 2001 sports some of the best-looking courts yet seen in a video game.

	IGN: NBA ShootOut 2001 Review
		ShootOut did not do that well here, unless of course you are looking for every player to act and react like Chris Webber or Brevin Knight.
		Unfortunately, ShootOut 2001 falls victim to the same scenario and is thus a let down in the end.
		ShootOut 2001 is not the worse game of hoops you can likely play, but it is certainly not one that I would recommend if faced with providing subjective or objective input.

	[No title]
		Last year's NBA Shootout suffered from inept game play at times, unresponsive controls (Freestyle movement), and mediocre graphics.
		Our own Clay Shaver reviewed “NBA Shootout 2003” and pointed out how the game play was improved and a few tweaks here and there could seriously make this game a contender.
		Another mode which is present in “NBA Shootout 2004”, and one which should be a fixture in any sports game, is online play.

		Critically, NBA ShootOut 2003 was believed by many to be the strongest title from 989 in last year's line-up.
		ShootOut 2004 offers players a nice array of the standard gameplay options found in all sports titles.
		As players perform well in exhibitions, they can unlock up to 50 of the NBA's all time greatest players and later add them to their own custom rosters.

	Gaming Target - PlayStation 2: NBA Shootout 2004 - Review
		And now, their NBA franchise, NBA Shootout, has taken its own baby steps to regaining it’s status as a solid hoops franchise with Shootout 2003, providing an alternative to EA and Sega’s NBA offerings.
		Definitely not, but NBA Shootout 2004 is a solid game of hoops that is playable, fun, and full of some very cool gameplay ideas that give 989 a base to build upon for next year.
		Despite the things wrong with the game, NBA Shootout 2004 is a playable, and most importantly, fun basketball game that’s not quite in the same league as NBA Live or ESPN hoops, but it’s at least moving up the ranks to respectability.

	NBA ShootOut 2004 Review (Playstation 2 (PS2)) at Next Level Gaming! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Basically in Shootout what you do is pull back on the left and right stick until the ball turns green, then push up on both.
		NBA Shootout's freestyle controls aren't nearly as intuitive as EA's, but it does give you some great spin move abilities and fakeouts.
		Shootout is the second 989 Sports game to use the PS2 USB Headset for more than just talking to opponents online.

		ShootOut is your typical 5-on-5 NBA-style basketball with all of the stars, and TONS of player animations to go along with their styles and attitudes.
		I was actually amazed by NBA ShootOut 2001's computer players when in -end of the game- situations and they didn't do stupid things like in every other b-ball game out there (i.e.
		Overall, NBA ShootOut 2001 is a solid title that is worth a rent, and possibly a buy for all of you hoops fans out there.

	GamingWorld X - NBA Shootout 2004 Review
		The AI tends to mark everyone well, and even NBA players have a tough time hitting a jumper with a hand in their face.
		Frighteningly similar to NBA Live’s Freestyle, where moving the right analog stick does jukes and steals, among other things, is 989’s own “Freestyle”.
		Getting into a game of Shootout is quick and easy; the abundance of gameplay modes will excite any sports gamer.

		For the most part NBA Shootout plays like you would expect a good basketball game to play.
		One thing that I noticed right away with Shootout's controls was the acceptance of the analog sticks.
		If 989 were to do a Shootout 2004, I would really recommend keeping the Gameplay system and starting over on the character models.

		Good, but not great, NBA ShootOut 2003 is still a major improvement to the 989 series.
		It goes without saying that all the real NBA teams, arenas, and players are included, and their ratings couldn't be more accurate.
		Once your player is hooked up with a squad the mode resumes like the traditional season mode, except your player can get benched for poor play or work his way into the starting rotation.
