Slam City with Scottie Pippen
Reviewed by Dyson Turner
Slam City with Scottie Pippen was mega ultra fun when I
first played it, then after a few hours it just got well...
boring. The graphics were great the basketball sounds were
great also. It just wasn't that much fun after a few plays through.
Story
What story? You're just a regular street baller, playing
against the local competition, so you can get enough respect
to play against Pippen.
Graphics
Full Motion Video played through out the game, first person
it did give the feel that you were playing on a real
basketball court. Nailing jumpers in the face of the
opposition couldn't look better after the first 50 million
times you see it. Seeing the opponent jam on 10 thousand
times looks cool a few times. Then it's boring. The graphics
were great but reused video gets tiresome.
Sound
The sound was pretty good too. There is a nice song during
the intro of the game, and mostly you hear the pounding of
the pavement, and the ball bouncing. You do get some trash
talking, I'm not sure that you could do it, but this gets
tiresome as well, just like the graphics. Repetitiveness
sets in just like the graphics does.
Game Play
This game is for 1 player only. You are a street chump
trying to get your chance at Pippen. You earn Respect Points
by doing blocks, and stealing the ball. You lose them by the
opponent doing this to you. Not only are the graphics
repetitive the controls stink. Besides the fact of no cross
over, even Tim bug's UTEP 2 Step would have been nice. You
get nothing instead you can fake people by moving right then
quickly going left, it's just not the same as using a cross
over on a guy and seeing them stumble or fall, now that
would have been cool. It's hard even to do a fake, since the
controls are lousy, because of the FMV the controls seem to
be slow, when you try to do a fake it won't show up on the
screen, then your opponent will rip the ball. It is very
hard to dunk as well, come within 2 feet of the basket your
getting your shot Mutumboed i. e. blocked. You try the same
thing to the opponent, they slam in your face like Shaq.
Most opponents do tend to be easy after a while, if you
eventually get to Pippen, your not beating him his jumper is
unstoppable. The difficulty without Pippen is Easy, with him
Pippen Hard.
Overall 6 out of 10
This game has great graphics and sound. But the game isn't
fun it will be for the first 10 minutes, but I can't review
the first 10 minutes of the game. The replay value is low,
to replay it you have to beat it, which I certainly think
most won't do. This game appears to be incomplete I think
the addition of a cross over, spin, or even a head fake
would have helped you out considerably. None of these really
destroyed the controls. The game just isn't fun. Unless you
are a huge Pippen fan or you must have every B-Ball Sim none
to man then get this over wise, get a NBA sim.
