5.0 out of 5 stars Midway brings back a polished NBA Jam!
This game gave me more fun than many I've ever played! I have sega Genesis, and there were two basketball games i have for it. NBA Jam, And NBA JAm Tournament Edition. Those were two of my favorite games for Genesis, and when I played this game it was just like those games. Although, Hoopz has much better gaphics, more spactacular dunks,it's 3 on 3 which is better than 2...

2.0 out of 5 stars Another disappointing basketball game for PS2
Like NBA Live 2001, this is another basketball game that disappoints. The good points about the game is the graphics (not great though), being able to "improve" your players by earning attribute points, and multi-tap capability.

Like NBA Live 2001, this is another basketball game that disappoints. The good points about the game is the graphics (not great though), being able to "improve" your players by earning attribute points, and multi-tap capability. But the game comes up short when you actually play it. The game itself is pretty slow and really slows down when a player is "on fire". The controls aren't great either. But what's more annoying is that there doesn't seem to be much difference in player abilities. All stars like Kobe or Vince Carter almost plays in same level as bench players. This is really noticeable when you have the lead. I guess it's to keep the scores close.

This is a good party/rental game especially with several friends. While this is a sim game, it still doesn't have the playability that of Madden 2001 or SSX.

Those were two of my favorite games for Genesis, and when I played this game it was just like those games. Although, Hoopz has much better gaphics, more spactacular dunks,it's 3 on 3 which is better than 2 on 2 in Jam, And it has a season mode that is great. I definetly recommend buying this game, I know I will!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Kick @$$ game for my ps2, March 6, 2001

This review is from: NBA Hoopz (Video Game)
NBA hooopz will blow you away. games like nba 2ball and 3pt. shootout will keep you adicted and 21 and around the world are a blast as well. if your not into these series of games(nba jam,nba showtime, etc.)rent this game first but i think you'll still love this game but rent it just to make shore. practice mode really doesn't help you get better but it's still pretty cool because if you have another person to play with you can play a game of pig. Some people say the 3rd person added on for 3 on 3 play instead of 2 on 2 play don't do anything. THIS IS NOT TRUE! you just have to pass it twice but it makes the gameplay much better!! so this game is a blast so pick it up if you can!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Successor of NBA Jam, June 30, 2001
By 
"whofigures" (Tulsa, Oklahoma United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: NBA Hoopz (Video Game)
This game is exactly like NBA Jam except with way better graphics, additional player and more features. The game is fast paced and if u fancy high jumps, quick dumps and lots of pumps, u will love this game. If u like putting locks on blocks and dunks over their trunks, u will like this game. You can perfect the bounce off the board passes by knowing how to do them. The only problem with this game is San Antonio is the best team, cause u can choose to play with Sean Elliot, Tim Duncan and David Robinson and we all know what might happen with that combination especially when any of them is on fire. I wouldn't rule this game out cause of a minor thing like this cause we all know if u look close enough u will always find problems. However, with taunts like "I am the bomb","whose your daddy?" and "boomshakalaka" this game makes a good addition to your collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars NBA Hoopz, March 5, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: NBA Hoopz (Video Game)
This is by far the best basketball game out for the Playstation 2. This game is dedicated to three on three basketball. There are mini games like 3-point shoot out and around the world. You can edit a team, create a team, edit a player, and create a player. The graphics are not the best on the Playstation 2, but the game is fun, and the dunks are fantastic!

This review is from: NBA Hoopz (Video Game)
This is by far the best basketball game for the Ps2. It has alot of great mini games like 2ball 3point shoot out and around the world. This game would be alot of fun for you and your friends. The only lil problem with it is that there isnt much D-fense but thats cool but if you want to get a fun and entertaining game for the ps2 then this is it.

1.0 out of 5 stars NBA OOPZ!!!!!, March 5, 2001
By 
Glen Cohen (New Canaan, CT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: NBA Hoopz (Video Game)
I was anticipating a great game because NBA Jam is great. Thisgame is horrendous. The game is very cluttered and the third playerjust clogs the screen. It's defense is non- existent and all you haveto do on offense is play with a good 3 point shooting player. You canpop threes all game. The animation is terrible...

1.0 out of 5 stars BORING!, April 12, 2001
By 
ekl (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: NBA Hoopz (Video Game)
I never write these things, but I want people to save their money. This game is nothing like the other NBA Jam games. Sure, this series is all about offense, but hey, at least in the others, you could knock people down when they were dunking. Defense is completely impossible in this version. Furthermore, the third player really doesn't add anything while cluttering up the screen... The fact is, the court is super small, and there is no use for a third player (or heck, even a SECOND player) because all anyone does in this game is inbound, go straight in for the dunk, or shoot a 3. it's boring. games are kept close by the computer's catch-up mode, but that's the only way you'll ever miss a shot. simply a stupid game and a waste of time and money.
