GameSpot Review

Space Jam is pretty simple. Aliens invade Tuneland and challenge the Tunes to an intergalactic basketball tournament. But it's not just any pick up game - the outcome decides their eternal fate. Thankfully, basketball hero Michael Jordan steps in to save the day. However, despite the use of much-loved Warner Bros. cartoon characters, Space Jam fails miserably in every category.

Space Jam takes the basic play mechanics of NBA Jam and combines them with some poorly executed cartoon-based sub-games. For the basketball action, players can choose between two teams, the Tunesquad or the Monstars, and select two modes of gameplay (two-on-two and three-on-three). The sub-games consist of searching for hidden items (in locker and trophy rooms), and a pathetic excuse for a space race with Speedy Gonzales. Successful completion of these sub-games can improve an on-court character's attributes: shooting, speed, and rebounding.

At best, the graphics in Space Jam look 16-bit. No 3-D polygonal characters or texture mapping here. The only redeeming aspect of the game is playing basketball with the Warner Bros. cartoon characters. As a plus, they're well-drawn and have some nice detail. Other than that, Space Jam is a basic 2-D, side-to-side basketball game. This is unfortunate, because plenty of Looney Tunes fans would have supported a graphically hep game. --Tom Ham

5.0 out of 5 stars If you wanna Jam, This is the game for you!, October 9, 2001

This review is from: Space Jam (Video Game)

I've got this game and it rules, it's very similar to NBA JAM on the super nintendo. You know how it is, the monstars steal talent from the NBA players and vs the looney tunes in a basketball game.

You can play as either team, the monstars (which are not very good, and they can't do special dunks) or the tune squad (which are a lot better, and they do real cool dunks). In between each period you can play mini games, some are good and some are bad, but they're good to have for a little more fun and they can make you faster, stronger or better at rebounds which is even better. Besides that you can play the single player game there is another option called intergalactic tournament, where 2 players can vs each other. This is probably the best feature of the game, which is great fun. It is 2-dimensional but i think it is better like that. There is one last thing, you can do some real cool dunks with the toon squad.

Overall i give it 9 out of 10!

P.S the reason i gave it 9 and not 10 is because there should be more things to do, but it's still great!

1.0 out of 5 stars What's Up With This Doc?, July 11, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Space Jam (Video Game)

This is (bottom line) the WORST basket ball game ever made. You can't have any playoffs or trade teams or anything that most basket ball games have to offer, basically because there's only 2 teams. 2! What is that? You can only play 2 on 2 or 3 on 3 which makes the replay value go down the drain. All you can do after a while is Bugs and Daffy vs. 2 of those demented aliens or whatever combination you happen to come up with. The teams are so unevenly matched, the Monstars are slow, have bad shooting, and are the [worst] ball players I've ever seen and suddenly Porky Pig is able to do a 360 degree slam dunk. In the movie, the Monstars dominated the game 99% of the time, but since this is aimed towards kids, the good side is the best. The animation is very subpar (2D on PSX?), the music is very badly done and it's over all just a boring, quickly thrown together game. I despise that spotlight hogging rabbit, Bugs almost as much as I do this game. Bugs and Space Jam for PSX down, Daffy Duck forever!

2.0 out of 5 stars A suckish basketball game, December 29, 2005

A Kid's Review

= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Space Jam (Video Game)

One of the worst addictive games I've ever played. I hated the game.For a platform game of it's time it had no trace of 3-D graphics.Only lame 2-D graphics with poor,low quality detail of its images. I hated this game so much,yet fatefully everso addictive.Yes,horibble gameplay,and even worst mini-games.I have no clue why it is addictive...It just is.Even though poor quality throughout the game, I recommend this for every PS1 gamer....Because its,uh.....addictive and horrible way.
