    A faithful interpretation of the exhilarating game we remember from our youth, NBA JAM brings all the sound, fury, and raw excitement that one can expect from a manic, larger-than-life game of monster dunks and fiery hoops.

    Even as a solo game, NBA Jam is incredibly fun. The top-notch visual style, quality controls, and fast-paced gameplay make it a sports game that action or arcade gamers will love as well.

    This portable version of NBA Jam is simply awesome. The game comes with an excellent classic gameplay, fantastic graphics and sounds, lots of achievements and extras to unlock and a very solid career mode. At this moment it lacks a multiplayer mode, so we hope EA will add it in a future update.

    NBA Jam is one slammin', jammin' ball game, but where's the multiplayer?

    The controls take some time to get used to, and your teammate can occasionally be a ballhog, but overall this version of NBA jam can be a really fun game.… Collapse
