In short - it is a clone of the original arcade hit, with some notable additions. The campaign mode is basically a 2 on 2 basketball game, with actual NBA players (the best players on each team are available - no bench players). This is Arcade basketball at its best - no fouls, no timeouts, no out of bounds and NO REFS. There is a 24 second shot clock, and you can get called for goal-tending once in a while. The controls are simple: ON OFFENSE, you can perform some rediculous dunks, and if you are skilled enough, you can get some jumpshots in. You can pass, upfake, throw elbows, do crossovers and jump for an alley-oop (the last 2 are additions to the original). You only contol 1 player, but you can call for a pass as well as make your team-mate shoot/dunk. You can also throw elbows and knock a defender to the floor if he is too close. ON DEFENSE: You can steal the ball (this requires some timing), shove any opposing player to the floor (if you miss the shove, your opponent can blow right by you) and rebound. You can also intercept a pass if you are in the right position. BUT THE BEST PART ABOUT DEFENSE is BLOCKING SHOTS. You have to be in the right position and time it right - but the absolute joy of stuffing the opponent's shot is unlike any other feeling in a game (in my opinion). You can even block a dunk - if you are get there at the top of the opponent's jump. On both offense and defense, you can shove an opponent to the floor (on offense only if you are not the ballhandler). EA also kept the play by play announcer from the original - Tim Kitzrow. All of the original humorous calls are here - with tons of new "Jamonics" added. You will find yourself cracking up in the middle of gameplay when you hear some of these. You can unlock past players with specific achievements - this is another great feature of this game - Magic, Larry (Bird and Johnson), Schrempf, Dominique, Rodman, McHale and much more. You can also play as Politicians, the Beastie Boys and other non NBA teams. The original arcade game did not look as good as this (it was not in HD). The vibrant colors and the clarity of the players faces in this HD version really stand out. The Big Head Mode is unlocked by finishing the tutorial. You can team up locally against the cpu (or vs a friend), ** Edit or 2 vs 2 locally ** or you can play solo online, or as a team. There are other modes as well as robust online features (available as a day one patch). **Edit** I've played a few games online (2 vs 2)- there is no lag in the gameplay - just pure excitement.** The games are only 3 minutes per quarter - which I thought was too short before I started playing. But with the clock stopping after every shot (and at goal-tending and shot clock violation) the actual time for a complete is closer to 15 minutes, which turned out to be perfect. I never got the feeling that the game was too short once a game is completed. I haven't been a fan of EA Sports lately - BUT they got this one right. Originally slated as a stripped doen free downloadable - they added all of the content as the Wii version, plus the vast online features and sell it for the same price. If you were skeptical about buying this game - Don't be. If you ever dropped quarters in the original Arcade game - I highly recommend this. If you have'nt played the Arcade version, and only played previous console versions, you won't get a true sense of this version. This is WAY better than any older home version!!! If you have't played any version and wan't a purely fun game for you and friends - then get this. Especially if you are a fan of the NBA present and 15-20 years ago. The original Arcade game was an Internationl Superhit - this version is even better. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: A very entertaining game for a group., By = Fun: This review is from: NBA Jam (Video Game) My buddies and I get together for a game nite once a week and this week's choice was NBA Jam. We all had a blast with it! It was very easy to pick up and before you know it we were dunking in each other's faces yelling at the TV with excitement. Its a total throwback to the versions we played on the SNES and Genesis and makes for an awesome fun time! Especially for ! BTW, Democrats vs. Republicans in big-head mode is the best! 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: Buy "ON FIRE EDITION" on PSN, = Fun: This review is from: NBA Jam (Video Game) There's a new version of this game. As far as I can tell it's only available on PSN and there have been no updates to this original (ps3) version. (It's probably available on Xbox as well, but I don't have one so I can't say.) The "ON FIRE EDITION" is on PSN for .99 and it's superior in every way. Just updated and fixed across the board. Check it out. There's also a free demo. Hopefully Amazon starts carrying PSN merch again, until then you have to use the PSN store. |
