Gameplay

Bizarre experience. It plays a bit like Resident Evil, with tank controls. Unless you're moving the d-pad only rotates your player.
Passing is impossible. You always either throw it away or at an opponent. You have to hold down the pass button and use the d-pad to pick a target. Very strange.
The game is unbelievably slow paced. It's like Prince of Persia (long animations) plus RE (tank controls) plus NBA Showdown.
No indicator to show which player you're controlling. Uhh, wut?!
In any case, it's completely unplayable.

Level Design

Exhibition and NCAA tournament modes.
No arcade mode to make the game more playable.

Theme

Not an NCAA basketball fan

Art Style

Impressive animation, although this comes at the expense of gameplay.
Sprites are a bit on the small size do while they animate well they're pretty ugly too

Audio

The crowd noise sounds like the wind sound from Final Fantasy 3.
