NBA Live 08 for PSP includes a number of handheld-exclusive features to help set it apart from the console versions. Players can unlock rewards and items with the new "Crown" tracking system, which monitors statistics and individual achievements in each of the four game modes. Handheld owners can also participate in one of 60 NBA challenges taken from the 2006-07 season, including Gilbert Arenas' 60-point effort against the Los Angeles Lakers. One of the key components in the next-gen versions, "go-to moves," is included to help further distinguish star players from the typical NBA athlete. Kobe Bryant's spin and fadeaway, Tony Parker's hesitation and quick acceleration, and Dwayne Wade's step-back jumper are just some of the moves available. All eight FIBA national teams are also playable, and both Ad-hoc and Infrastructure wireless modes are supported for head-to-head action against a friend. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
