Product Description

Jordan vs. Bird: One on One pits two of the NBA's greatest stars against each other in your choice of a slam-dunk contest, three-point shootout or traditional one-on-one game, with each player shooting and rebounding in his own inimitable style. The players don't look much like their real life counterparts (even during the title screen), but their jerseys look nice and the character animation is top-notch. Unfortunately, the one-on-one format is not as rewarding or as versatile as video basketball games with four or more players, and Jordan would probably trounce Bird a real game of one-on-one. The slam-dunk contest and the three-point shootout help offset this weakness, though. Whether you choose Michael or Larry, this is a fairly enjoyable game, especially in the two-player mode.

This review is from: Jordan Vs. Bird: One on One (Video Game)

This game is an instant classic on the NES. Although it is not perfect, it was way ahead of its time. Not suprisingly it was made by EA back in 1989. This game is the precurser to NBA Live's slam dunk and three point contest feature in future releases. Although this game has its limitations, it is really fun to play by NES standards. Not only do you have a choice to play as the Birdman and his airness, but you get a lot of signature dunks in the slam dunk contest such as Dr. J's jam and MJ Air Jordan dunk. As I mentioned this game is not completely perfect. The controls take a little time to get used to and the game although it offers a lot of dunks, it falls short in game modes. Again like Tecmo NBA Basketball for NES, this game was way ahead of its time and I highly recommend this game to any NES game collector, any NBA basketball junkie, or anybody looking for a fun old school NES basketball game.
