Rating: - Monster Slam Dunks
NBA Jam has been a long running series, dating back to the haydays of the Nintendo system. It is an NBA basketball game with no rules, you can knock other players down, do monster slam dunks! It is very arcade-like and moves at a frantic pace there is nothing real about the gameplay, everything in the game is exaggerated and funny at the same time. This time NBA Jam makes a very cool transition to the XBOX. The graphics are nicely colored and the basketball players although odd and lanky
looking were animated smoothly. It's so much fun to see them make signature slam dunks, but it gets better. When you're player shoots 3 baskets in a row, he will litteraly catch fire and have higher stats making his shots to the basket more accurate. For every cool move you will also earn "Jam Points" and start filling up your "Jam Meter". Once your meter is filled you can activate a "Hot Spot" . and this is the real fun of the game, when you shoot from the hot spot, your player will fly really high into the air, perform a silly move in midair and make a monster slam dunk, which will knock down the other players. It's so cool and funny. The music is good and upbeat, the crowd cheers sound realistic and the commentator is very good, though he will repeat certain things. NBA Jam for the XBOX is the most fun I've had playing an arcadey basketball game. It also features tons of unlockable bonus items, co-op gameplay, create your own player and create your own teams!
Pros: +monster slam dunks +create your own player +create your own teams +tons of unlockables +excellent graphics +excellent animation +excellent sound effects +excellent controls +co-op gameplay +very exciting
Cons: -CPU cheats sometimes -players look a bit goofy
Rating: - Yes, finally!
Finally, we got what we wanted. Not Midway, but acclaim. Not nba street volume 2, but NBA JAM! IT features everything, over 200 different dunks, and over 500 different moves and motions.I mean what more could you want. Superstars flying 50 ft. into the air. Its awesome! Its got all the correct rosters, and you whats even better! Their are some realistic moves, like dribbling behind your back and just running. THats pretty realistic, is it not. Everyone complains about how hard the CPU is, their not hard. SUre, if you want a game thats going to take you now more then 2-3 days, this games not the game for you, but if you want a game in reward for your money, its going to take you about 2-3 months. And its not like you cant figure out where to go or anything, and you get all stressed out. If you know the moves and practice them over and over and over and over again in exhibition mode, it'll be a piece of Boomshakalaka in the NBA Jam tournement. One word to sum it all up.
Boomshakalakalakalakalakalakalaka!!!!
Rating: - NBA JAM RULES!
If you liked the old version of NBA Jam on snes then I recommend this game. The more you play it the more you will like it. At the same time you gain points and use them to unlock unlimited things. You can even create your own player. I'm a laker fan so I created Magic Johnson. How would you like to have Magic, Shaq, Kobe, Gary and Malone in the same team huh?
Rating: - Not a big fan of this game, missing the old arcade version.
I would not reccomend this game to some people only because the computer can be hard, it just gets frustrating when you're in the lead then the computer activates a sweet spot and oh, scores a 3 point dunk to make you lose. The only problem is this isnt' a rare instance, this happens all the time! I'm the same person that would win regularly on NHL 2002 with the diffuculty all the way up, it's okay for you to cheat and find secrets but for the computer to do it, that's not fair to the player, of the 20 or so games I've played on this over the weekend I've lost all of them, I've never lost an NHL game before. This is so much harder than the old NBA jam I used to play, and also, when you grow to appreciate real good sports games from EA sports there really is no need to buy this arcade crap.
Rating: - Killa'multi player
Jam has a pretty good single player game, but with 2 or 3 friends it is awsome...especially when you get to the instant replay of your monster dunk and your the only one who can turn it off....the smack talking flys, NBA Jam is killa'
