I have played the demo and I love the new game. I wish I could get it but I dont think they have it for PS2 and I dont want to buy an xbox since Im getting ready to go to college soon and wont have much time for gaming (even though I dont play games too often anyways). My stepbrother who owns an xbox is hopefully gonna buy it so we can play it.
It is a big improvement from the first game.
*Spoiler*
Shaq is an unlockable character in it
