I must say graphically this game looks great.

Probably a better link...

Anyhow, if you are GS Complete, the HD downloads are 960x540 @ 59.94fps...game might not necessarily be running at that speed, but since the Xbox360 outputs at 59.94fps, the HD Quality downloads are presented that way as well.

Could have supplied full 720p footage, but most computers simply aren't powerful to run 720p @ 60fps WMVs ;P

Yes, but some are, so get on it

Whoa, these HD videos are SO much better then the IGN videos that were put up yesterday.

The crowd is probably the best I've ever heard in a video game. How are you letting EA Canada beat you guys, Tiburon?!

In terms of next-generation "feel", perhaps the first thing to mention is the game's slower pace. Long-time Live players might be taken aback by the more measured tempo of the action on the court though Live producers acknowledge that this was a conscious game design choice. They're deliberately going for a more sim-like feel on the Xbox 360 game and, as such, some of the obvious nods to arcade play--such as the freestyle superstar controls in the Xbox and PS2 version--are gone. Well, not necessarily gone--your team's star players will still be able to pull of some sick-looking passes or monster dunks--but the special moves are simply more integrated into the improved animations that comprise the 360 version of Live.

On the court, gameplay tweaks keep the game feeling fresh as well. You don't have to back out into the pause menu to make substitutions during stoppages of play, for example. Instead, by bringing up the menu with the directional pad on the Xbox controller, you can quickly make lineup changes as needed. You'll need to be quick, however, because unless you burn a timeout you'll have a short window of opportunity to make any strategic or lineup changes; a fact that becomes all the more important when you consider that fatigue will play a factor in the 360 version. As players tire, they won't be as quick on the floor and they'll even slump a bit on the court.

From what we've seen of the game so far, Live 06 for 360 is attempting to steer the Live franchise towards a more sim-like feel. More time with the game will be needed to see if this new course is a successful one but it's hard to deny the game's next generation look and feel. We expect to have more hands-on time with the game soon, so be sure and keep your eyes peeled for our continuing coverage.

Some of the links seem to link to the same video? Why can't gamespot order video by time uploaded.
