I don't know if this has been posted or not, but here's a very brief review from G4:

I honestly cant figure this game out. I really enjoy the demo of the game, but the reviews of it keep me from laying down the $65 dollars necessary to get it. I am a high school student that pays for his own gas, so money can be tight at times and some of the reviews take me away from the gut reaction I have for the game. But I think this weekend I will finally give in and go with my gut.

Just rent it man. If you don't like it, you're only out $5 or $6. If you do like it you can probably pick it up used.

yeah, i actually just found it on amazon for $39.99 new with free shipping and pulled the plug. i am so glad that i finally made up my mind!

There's a reason you found it $20 lower than the retail price so soon...

Trust me, you have better things to spend $40.00 than this game. Do what a lot of OSers are doing -- buy 2K7 for $10, use a good set of sliders and update the rosters. It's a lot more rewarding experience.

This is a solid game. Sure it has it issue, but it is a fun game to play.

Hopefully, the 2nd patch will clean some irritations up.. 2k7 was better than 2k8, but that's not saying much. To say that 2k9 isn't as fun as 2k7 is crazy imho... besides the graphics, 2k9 beats it in every other category.
