NBA In The Zone '98 review (PlayStation)

It's these tricks, which are unavoidably learned, that really ruin the game. Even though you try not to use them you always know in the back of your mind that you can steal the ball or get an easy dunk. Of course, that's only when playing against the computer. When playing against other people, NBA In The Zone '98 is pretty fun. With two multitaps, up to eight people can play. But this can be done with NBA Live 98 as well, so it's not anything unique, and that's really what it comes down to: NBA In The Zone '98 isn't unique. NBA Live was fun and had the three-point contest as well.

NBA In The Zone '98 may have a better statistical tracking system than last year's game, with other little goodies thrown in, but the game is basically the same. If you like the first two In The Zones you'll probably want to give '98 a try. If you're just a person looking for a good basketball game, do yourself a favor and rent NBA Live 98 and NBA In The Zone '98 and see which one is best for you.
