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.

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.

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.

I was really excited to get this game. I expected much more than what NBA jam 2002 really is. Seeing all the really good games on the GBA I thought this game would be alike the origional NBA Jam for the SNES. But it isnt even close to that good. Really a big dissapointment, I would recomend you save your 30 dollars

Hey, I appreciate the effort of making an NBA game but it's not enough, there has to be more than one basketball game on GBA. I think that they should make NBA Showtime or NBA Street or NBA Live on GBA. These are some of the best basketball games on different systems. On N64, I loved NBA Showtime, I'm sure that there are many other people that want to see this game on GBA. On PS2, NBA Live and NBA Street are the best basketball game on the system. If I had the chance to make video games, I would make all of these game for GBA. If you think that I am right and want more basketball games on GBA, write reviews to tell them this!

This game doesn't even compare to the old ones. There is no create a player and the peoples stats are all messed up. It is the worst use of $...ever- DO NOT BUY IT.

Not only can the worst player win by 100, but you can hit full court shots with Shaq. Save your money or buy the old SNES or Genises versions if you are that desperate.

Don't do a thing. Wait for the computer controlled player to intercept a pass. Press "A" to shoot (from anywhere). You'll win by a landslide - In "hard" mode.

This game stinks. Acclaim should recall it. What a rip-off.

This is definently THE WORST BASKETBALL GAME EVER!!!!You can't tell wich playor is wich, the play is SLOPPY,you can make a shot from anywhere not to mention you can get up to 9 points at mid court!

NBA Jam 2002 is by far the best Sports game on Game Boy Advance. There are 6 different playing modes, exhibition, playoffs, season, H-O-R-S-E, jam mode, and practice. The graphics are so real it sometimes feels like your in the crowd watching the game. You can play as any of the 29 NBA teams and on their courts, NBA East and West All-Stars, All NBA team, and the rookies team. Plus, you can unlock 2 courts, one is in the beach and the other is on a street-ball court. Also, you can unlock some basketball hall-of-famers by accomplishing certain tasks in the game.

This game never gets boring. I play it all the time and there is always something new you can check out or another dunk you can create. It's a must-buy for every sports fan....

If there's one thing I loathe it's not getting bang for my buck. I have to say I feel completely ripped off having purchased this game. I'm a big fan of NBA Jam and NBA Hangtime and I thought it would be cool to have this on my GameBoy Advance SP. The first time I fired it up I thought "This is awful." I put it away in disgust. I've since tried to play (and like) the game 2 more times but I am in awe at how gawd-awful the graphics and more important the gameplay is. And like another reviewer mentioned I bought this game because of the positive reviews posted here on Amazon.com. Methinks there're people with a wicked sense of humor who enjoy the company of misery or it's one of the marketing folks from the makers of this putrid NBA Jam 2002 "port" or whatever you want to call it. I would'nt even give this crapfest 1 star but I can't post this review unless I select a rating. I give it a " -1 star". You have been warned.
