Hit the Ice for TurboGrafx-16

Hit the Ice

NBA Jam: On Ice


Genre: sports - hockey

Publisher: TTI

Year: 1992

System: TurboGrafx-16


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

2v2 arcade hockey. Much better framerate than the SNES or Genesis versions. This is the definitive version for sure. It's playable, but painfully slow and boring. Imagine NBA Jam at 1/4 speed. I like the two button controls, but there's no depth. AI is incredibly stupid. Your teammate is always an AI so it's basically 2v1.


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

Exhibition and tournament modes. But only 2v2.


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

I love the idea of NBA Jam on ice


Art Style Score: 3

Art Style Notes:

Sprites are much smaller than the SNES version but they animate far better.


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

Really poor quality sounds. No music or even crowd noise. Kind of a blank sheet


Overall Score: 26

Review ID: 1465
