GameSpot Review

When Dr. Dre wrote the song "Been There, Done That" he had probably just finished a game of NBA Hang Time. Taking the NBA Jam concept yet another step, Hang Time is a two-on-two basketball extravaganza complete with real NBA players, fast action, and mind-shattering dunks. But unless you've been shooting digital hoops in a cave for the past few years, you've seen it all before.

When the first NBA Jam was released, nothing quite was quite like it. It had hidden characters, secret codes for different play modes, and - best of all - really exciting play. Get four people around an NBA Jam machine and they'll be talking trash better than their onscreen counterparts. Then NBA Jam Tournament Edition was released, with a few different hidden players, more NBA players, and a couple more codes. It was great for the slim minority who hadn't seen the first Jam. But the rest of us, save for a few die-hard Jammers, were already tired of the formula. Now we have NBA Hang Time. This game features much better graphics than the original Jam games, a faster pace, and the same four-player fun. It still includes the turbo button for faster running; and scoring three times in a row still sets the "hot" player on fire, making him nearly unstoppable. It's still the same game under the flashy graphics and sound. And now it's coming home. Yay.

The main addition this time around is the create-a-player feature, which allows players to enter a custom name and ID number to access their character. Players can choose among several different heads for their character, including normal-looking guys, werewolves, and other strange creatures. Custom characters can win trivia points at the end of every game, which can be used to beef up their attributes with enhanced speed, dunking ability, and more. The game also has the now-standard hidden players, including design team members Mark Turmell, Sheridan Oursler, Sal Divita, John Root, and friends.

Except for these minor changes, this game is old hat. However, if you're one of the few people still hopelessly addicted to NBA Jam, then Hang Time could be the wisest purchase you'll make this year. --Jeff Gerstmann

This review is from: NBA Hang Time (Game Cartridge)

Not many games in the video game industry can actually be a triumph as a spinoff, or a remake. For Midway, following up the success of NBA Jam was a difficult challenge. It became the highest-grossing video game in the industry, with more than $1 billion to the name. As NBA Hang Time was set to commence, many people had no idea of how good this game was going to be.

NBA Hang Time was the very first full-length Basketball video game for the Nintendo 64, giving newcomers who had just bought the smash console a chance to really get some air. Hang Time had also created something new to the mix that makes it all seem interesting. The game is a bit similar to NBA Jam, but there was something a little different. The game also included a create a player mode, a mode where instead of speding a few quarters at the arcade, you can createyour very own basketball player, by controlling how tall you want him, how good he can block you, and even how good his aim is for the hoop.

Although many people aren't interested in NBA Hang Time as much as they're interested in newer games that came out for Playstation 2 and XBOX, but there are some new gamers out there who have the Nintendo 64, that might want to enjoy the 2 on 2 Basketball fever. If you own the Nintendo 64, but you don't have NBA Hang Time, you need to make that shot for 3, and get this video game.

This game was a great purchase. An excellent multiplayer experience. Classic mid-90's excitement. This game is ON FIRE. And when I've been playing it, all I can think of is this: BOOM SHAKA LAKA!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars This is the best basketball game I have ever played!, December 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: NBA Hang Time (Game Cartridge)

This game is like NBA Jam only better. The dunks are incredible, the gameplay is easy and extremely fun, the graphics are great (real heads and names are used on the characters!), and the sound is an A+ as well. You can play with teams already created or make your own character. And, you can access hidden codes and players which make the game that much more fun! You can save your data with a controller pack that only uses a few pages of data! Only 3 I think! It's great. This is a great game for any sports fan. Don't miss it. Even after playing it for hundreds of hours, I still see new things happen everytime I play.
