NBA Jam for Genesis
Review #4376
NBA Jam
Not as good as your remember, especially the sound
Gameplay
Floaty, imprecise controls.
This is a three button game and the massive buttons on the Genesis controller make it hard to play.
Getting "on fire" is a ton of fun, so long as it's not done against you.
2v2 gameplay so it's easy to keep track of what's happening on the court.
Ball tends to fly way above the court making it nerly impossible to tell where it is in the depth of field. Hard to get rebounds.
More a game of luck than skill as steals and blocks are a crapshoot.
Gameplay is not deep. Fun for about 5 minutes at a time but no more.
Level Design
Simple arcade modes - single game or a never-ending tournament.
Theme
NBA and NBAPA but only two players per team.
The arcade motif is nice but exaggerated and again gets old rather quickly.
Art Style
Colorful and runs smoothly but animation seems a step behind the SNES version.
The on fire effects and whatnot are also worse here.
Audio
Sound is terrible. Muted and scratchy. It's all the familiar stuff from NBA Jam but terribly, terribly disappointing.
