A poorly reviewed basketball game whose complete copies cost far more than loose ones.
NBA In The Zone 2000 is Konami's basketball game, the fifth and final in the NBA In The Zone series, with Marcus Camby of the New York Knicks on the cover. Konami Computer Entertainment Osaka developed the N64 version, which came out in North America in February 2000 and in Europe that May.
Reception was unfavorable. Next Generation reviewed the N64 version harshly and gave it its lowest rating.
What the press said at the time
| GameRankings (aggregate) | 47% | |
| Electronic Gaming Monthly | 5/10 | |
| Game Informer | 5.5/10 | |
| GameFan | 65% / (L.B.) 55% | |
| IGN | 5.8/10 | |
| N64 Magazine | 69% | |
| Next Generation | 1/5 | |
| Nintendo Power | 6.2/10 |
“The graphics are solid, but overall the game doesn’t live up to its competition. If you’re going to choose a new basketball game for your N64, EA’s NBA Live 2000 is a better, more solid choice.”
“It's competent, but that's not quite enough to make the NBA's seemingly millionth game stand up against rival Kobe Bryant 2.”
“In The Zone does have many of the elements that make for a respectable basketball title, Konami just fails to incorporate them into a cohesive game.”
Undated scores are from the review table in the game's Wikipedia article, limited to reviews of the Nintendo 64 version.
