5.0 out of 5 stars Jam Review, November 15, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: NBA Jam 2002 (Video Game)

This is one hell of a game!!! The graphics are intense and definitely the gameplay and play modes and the whole on court experience is amazing. The sounds aren't that bad, but if u dont like them then turn the sound off! There are dozens of cheats and surprises just like the Acclaim review says. Yet I still have to earn and work out quite a few. The bonuses while on court are really fun and make the game more interesting, with on fire, 30 ft high dunks, crazy alleyoops, and of course the simple game of horse, which is also really fun. Especially having to choose from over 130 players. Im not sure if Jordan is in there but ill find him...a? Anyway, really sweet game, buy it have fun, and its a great value.

1.0 out of 5 stars Maybe the worst GBA game to date, February 24, 2002

This review is from: NBA Jam 2002 (Video Game)

If its not the worst, it sure gives NFL Blitz and Mortal Kombat Advance a run for their money. The graphics are horrendous. The Genesis version was simpler but at least you could tell what your player was doing.

Gameplay is also far worse than it used to be. In my first game, I was missing dunks and open layups but I could hit half court shots consistently. Not fun. Passing, shooting, and running animations are so similar, its hard to know who even has the ball sometimes....yet somehow I built a 10-point lead in the first quarter.

And the audio...Oh God, the audio.....Whoever had the brilliant idea of making the announcer say "Well received!" after 90% of passes should never be allowed near a video game's production again...EVER.

Half-court shots and winning by 100 were more fun in Double Dribble for NES. This game is just annoying.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing, February 25, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: NBA Jam 2002 (Video Game)

I bought this game based partially on reviews that I read here.

Describing NBA Jam 2002 as disappointing would be an understatement. The pacing is good, but the players can be hard to distinguish, and the play in general is sloppy. The graphics are average at best when compared to other GBA games.

I am still waiting for a good basketball game for GBA.
