Bulls vs Blazers and the NBA Playoffs

Basketball: the slide show


Genre: sports - basketball

Publisher: Electronic Arts

Year: 1993

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

Horrible. Unfun. Obnoxious. Choppy gameplay. The game animates at about 5 FPS. Maybe a tiny bit smoother than the SNES version, but it's not good regardless. Opponents stick to you like glue so there's no way to get free for a shot. On the SNES you could pump fake to get an uncontested shot but even that doesn't work here. Defense is impossible. Utterly, completely impossible. No way to steal or block a shot and even if you do the shooter always gets the deflected ball.


Level Design Score: 3

Level Design Notes:

Only the 16 playoff teams. Standard modes


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

NBA and NBA Players licenses Not a fan of video game basketball games tho


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Horrible animation ruins otherwise ok looking character models. The view is so low that players all run together. Hard to see if there's space to occupy.


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

Nasty music. This is one of those games with burp and fart sounds.


Overall Score: 34

Review ID: 807
