5.0 out of 5 stars Good 2 on 2 basketball game, November 8, 2000

This review is from: Barkley Shut up and Jam! (Video Game)

"Barkley's Shut Up and Jam" is the only 2 on 2 basketball video game I've played other than the NBA Jam series, and it's a good one at that. Unlike NBA Jam, you won't be playing inside NBA stadiums, you'll be playing street ball. And some aspects of the game might actually remind you of a real-life street ball basketball game. You can knock down your opponents and steal the ball before they have a chance to shoot or dunk on you. One thing about the game that you won't see in many other sports video games is the language and attitude that is in this one. For example, if the ball gets knocked away and nobody goes and gets it after so many seconds, Charles Barkley will say, "Go get the da** ball." That's one of the ways that it might make you think of a real-life basketball game.

Most of the basics of the game are pretty good. The graphics aren't the best ever seen for the Sega Genesis, but they're not bad either. The control is easy enough to master, the sounds are good, and the game can be a lot of fun. You have many players to choose from including Sir Charles, Spike, etc. There is also a good variety of different courts ranging from a regular street court to a court on the beach.

If you still have a Sega Genesis and you'd like to have a fun 2 on 2 basketball game, I recommend getting "Barkley's Shut Up and Jam."

Barkley's Shut Up and Jam is pretty good for a street basketball game. It's a lot like NBA Jam in certain ways because it's just 2 on 2 and you just shoot and best of all....JAM! The graphics are decent, but nothing to brag about. The control and sound are done well and it can be fun once you get the hang of the moves. There's certain buttons to press where you can block your opponent's shot everytime they go up for a dunk. You don't get on fire or have any powerups or anything like that, but it's a solid basketball game.

It even added a few parts to it that you won't see in most sports games. If the ball gets knocked away and nobody gets it for several seconds, Barkley will say, "Go get the da** ball." It's fun to play 2 player, but there could've been more characters to choose from. If you like street ball, this is a good game.
