Sony's asketball franchise makes its debut onto the PlayStation 3 with new game modes, mini-games, and updated visuals. "The Life Vol. 2" mode features two rival NBA players and each or their stories beginning where last years game left off. Other additions include a pick-up game where you select one of ten NBA players in an outdoor playground match. Of course, would-be coaches can still embark on an 82-game NBA season complete with trades, free agents, and injuries. NBA 07 expands the original title's mini-game roster with the inclusion of skee-ball, pinball, and "pop-a-shot" games to go along with the previously available dodgeball and HORSE options. The game features music from such artists as :Rhymefest, :Big Rich, :Rakim, and :KRS-One, among others. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
