  • Summary: Several problems ultimately keep NBA Jam 2002 from attaining all-star status. But all things considered, it's still a decent handheld rendition of two-on-two basketball.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 2 out of 11
  2. Negative: 5 out of 11
  1. The only thing you'll be jamming is your head into a wall. [Summer 2002, p.38]
  2. One of those innocuous little programs that can entertain for minutes or hours. It has range of play, solid animation and sound, and high-flying action.
  3. The lack of a link-cable option, the limiting of power-ups to the jam mode, and an absence of mid-shot passing are the three problems that ultimately keep NBA Jam 2002 from attaining all-star status.

    Easily the worst game I have ever played on the GBA.
