It's amazing what technology can do. Who would have thought that back in 1990 a Sega Genesis game could predict what would happen in the 2008 NBA Finals? Yet that is what appears to have happened if you read the hilarious videogamecritic.net review for Lakers Vs. Celtics and the NBA Playoffs on the Sega Genesis. Some examples from the review are included below:How the games looked-
"the wood surface looks realistic, the lanky players perform their famous "signature" moves, and coaches pace the sidelines."
Mark Jackson playing third wheel to the Breen/Van Gundy combo-
"...anchors at a desk who comment on the game via scrolling text. Actually, the black guy never says anything, but he does crack a smile periodically and it looks hilarious."
The Celtics dominating in defensive style games-
"compared to modern basketball games, Lakers Vs. Celtics is slow and choppy, and it takes a while to run the length of the court."
The Celtics defense limiting Kobe and the Lakers offsense-
"there's no turbo or crossover move, so it's nearly impossible to penetrate to the hoop."
The questionable officiating-
"sometimes a player will score even when the ball clearly didn't pass through the hoop."
The Staples Center atmosphere-
"and for goodness sake, turn OFF that blaring music that plays nonstop during the game."
The Staples Center crowd-
"...a crowd that's dead silent until you score."
And finally it sums up the entire series-
"Lakers Vs. Celtics definitely shows its age, but if you accept its limitations it's still worthwhile."
