College Slam for Genesis


Image: MobyGames

College Slam

NBA Jam: The No-Name Edition


Genre: sports - basketball

Publisher: Acclaim Entertainment

Year: 1996

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

Same game, but with a couple of unhelpful additions such as a Hot Spot where you have a higher chance of making your shot and a Juice mode which makes you zip around too fast.


Level Design Score: 2

Level Design Notes:

More modes, theoretically. I can't imagine playing more than one game so I would never use the tournament mode.


Theme Score: 1

Theme Notes:

Just a bunch of no-name players on college squads. Playing as Sht Grd and Ctr isn't as fun as Payton and Kemp.


Art Style Score: 4

Art Style Notes:

Good. The sprites are slightly smaller than NBA Jam but they animate better.


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

What happened? The voices sound great but the music that plays? So bad. The sound effects are also awful. A dunk sounds like smashing a Goomba.


Overall Score: 51

Review ID: 839
