A short review for a small-impact game.

Glitchoris BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front)

Could have been a fun game.  Should have been a fun game.  But…it’s just not a fun game.  NBA Jam just does not evolve from its predecessors.  Its like if The Legend of Zelda 2 came out for the NES, and instead of side scrolling, it was a third quest for the first game.  Don’t spend time on it, and for the love of everything that is right and holy about video games, don’t buy it.

The Glamor And Glitz

Like a mildly attractive girl on her best day, NBA Jam falls short when compared to the games on the market right now.  Sure, it’s fun for about the first five minutes, then you wonder when it gets fun.  Well…it really doesn’t.  Swatting a ball to half court and shoving a player in the air fifteen feet is fun for awhile, but the fun does not last very long.

Just watch the trailer.  The trailer will bring back fond memories of ’96.

…And there you have it.  Really, that’s the entire game.
