NBA 2K8 is a basketball simulation game developed by 2K Sports released in 2007 and considered to be
better than its main rival, NBA Live 2008. 2K8 features slam dunk contests and three point shootouts, similar to EA's game. The athlete chosen by 2K Sports to appear on the game's cover is New Orleans Hornets' Chris Paul.
This is the second next-gen experience for the NBA 2K series and it's guaranteed to make you a fan of basketball in case you aren't one. What I loved about 2K's latest hit was the fast-paced game and the animations of the crowd, the coach and the players' moves. Some of my fellow gamers saw the demo and stated that the release encourages you to score too much, leaving the whole defensive concept aside. It's somewhat true, as it's ten times easier to score than to protect your "Zone".
We know that true gamers play all these games just for fun, as they should and not in order to achieve specific point landmarks to prove their friends they are very cool, but we also know that sometimes you just can't live without achieving everything possible with a title you really enjoy. If that's the case and you want to know exactly what to look for, we have prepared a full list of achievements. Good luck!
