White Men Can't Jump
Reviewed by Dyson Turner
White Men Can't Jump seemingly is about the movie from the
title right. Wrong, this game has nothing to do with the
succesful movie, which I don't understand how this game even
deserves the right to have the name of that movie, since it
isn't nearly as cool as it. Some major key elements needed
to be fixed on this game, even when you first play this game
you will notice them.
Visuals 2. 0/10
Very short of spectacular, actually their is nothing
interesting to see here or do. The players actually have no
faces which is kind of hard to beleive because this is
suppose to be a 64-bit system (yeah right) anyway the parket
looks nothing like a real court and looks flat and cheap.
The background looks distoted with trees and clouds, this is
suppose to be street ball why are the tree's back their?
Audio 0. 0/10
Even worst than the graphics is the horrible music in this
game. If you ever played WWf Smackdown for PSX you get the
idea, perhaps this music is even worst. The music is up temp
and sounds like New age music why would any human being play
new age music at a basketball court? Come on this is street
ball I want to hear some DMX or Nas not the garbage that
they played, well I had to listen to my own music to get a
realer effect. The Sound FX aren't good either with the same
tired lines over and over. You will wish these guys would
just shut up and play some ball, not because their
intimidating you, your just tired of hearing their mouth.
Game Play 3. 0/10
This game is for 1 to 4 players. You played street ball for
money which is the only reason this grants the title of the
movie because that is what the movie was about.
The controls are real bad a lot of times you would try to
shoot and when you release the ball doesn't get released at
the right time, and since the shooting is hard also you are
liable to make a brick or an air ball. The other teams are
full of hacks, they don't even give you a chance to clear
the ball they always steal the ball and punch you in the
back of the head while doing so. Which makes this game a lot
more annoying and might get you slightly aggrevated since
their isn't any ref. The difficulty is intermediate once you
figure out the sweet spot you'll dump the defense like last
week's trash.
Overall 5 out of 10
Such a great movie such a lousy game seems to be a common
thing today. Not too many movie to games work anyway or are
at least good, none that I could think of off hand. This is
especially true when the game is NOTHING like the movie. The
replay value is pretty low with 3 friends playing with you
it will turn into a slug fest pure and simple and little
basketball will be going on. Unless you really need a B-Ball
sim for your Jag then get it, if basketball is not to your
liking don't even think about this game.
