Is It Any Good?
NBA JAM BY EA SPORTS is, quite simply, a heck of a lot of fun to play. Easy to pick up and anything but complicated in its rules, the game focuses solely on the most outlandish parts of the sport -- monster slam dunks and huge blocks of opponents' shots. It's a bit more aggressive than other basketball games, but the violence is arcade-like and not too concerning. The game further offers impressive visuals and keeps the adrenaline pumping with announcer Tim Kitzrow's "boomshakalaka"-infused running commentary. The biggest disappointment is the lack of any multiplayer mode, as this is one of those titles that's more fun with friends.
