I dont trust reviews, so I dont care what score they gave it.

Nothing demonstrates the poor use of Shaq than this video. This is the CPU on the hardest difficulty. Note that Shaq can't back down Andre Miller. That is sad.
:lol, come on videos work. I gotta see this.
Just say no, IGN!
8.0 Presentation
Nice NBA touches and good replays. The ESPN feel isn't as present as in Sega's football game, but it's there. I just wish the personality elements could be implemented better.
9.0 Graphics
Great faces and models. The specular lighting is awesome and the 3D crowds are cool. A few animations aren't so hot, but overall a lovely game and still graphic kind of the bball court.
7.0 Sound
Bill Walton? Guess it's time to chew my cyanide capsule.
7.0 Gameplay
Some solid elements. I think IsoMotion could have evolved more, particularly on defense. This isn't the NBA and the AI proves that. I'll eat my words if Shaq becomes a three-point threat this year.
8.0 Lasting Appeal
Online is always nice and the 24/7 mode really is the cream of the crop this year. It may be tough to stick through the Association for multiple seasons.
8.1 OVERALL:
(out of 10 / not an average)

Shaq plays like KG in ESPN NBA 2K5. He doesn't play at all like Shaq (though the facial modeling and tats certainly make him look just like the Big Aristotle). This imposter seems to rarely show up in the paint. I've found him numerous times hanging ten feet off the hoop, not even covering a defender. It's offensive. It's wrong. You cannot f' up one of the most recognizable players in the NBA. Heck, not in a game that features a great defensive player on the cover. You have to get Shaq at least kind of right. Right?
Not only does Shaq look for the ball from far off the basket, he will often look for a lane to drive down for a powerful slam. It just doesn't look like Shaq. He'll shoot from outside (and clank, of course), do spin moves and fade away shots. He rarely dominates under the basket and I've actually seen him bullied by Andre Miller. Yes, little Andre the point guard -- bullying Shaq! It's because of the utter failure of the Shaq test, that I began testing other marquee players. They all seem almost interchangeable, with only handle and dunk abilities truly setting any apart in terms of control.
