If you’re from the Old School, you’ll feel the ‘90s nostalgia while you play the hottest new arcade sports game on the App Store. Featuring the voice of Tim Kitzrow (the original NBA JAM play-by-play announcer), you’ll hear all the classic catchphrases plus a few new ones recorded just for this game. This JAM is all about “boomshakalaka”¬– and beyond.
This 2v2 arcade basketball is just like the one you remember playing as a kid – but, simply put, better! Everything I enjoyed from the console versions is here, from the same announcer to the high jumping blocks. The thing that made this game so unique and fun was that there were really no fouls, free-throws or violations except for the 24 second shot clock and the goal tending. Everything else is fair game and it’s a bull rush of high flying antics to the finish.
As for the controls, they’re kept simple with just one button for turbo boosts, and two buttons that switch functions based on whether you’re running offense or defense. One lets you shoot the ball or jump to block, and the other lets you pass the ball or try to steal from your opponent.
If you combine these moves with the turbo button, you’ll be able to shove other players or perform astonishing dunks. The dunks are easily the most fun you’ll have with this game– if you keep running to the hole, you’ll perform flips and soar to the ceiling with ease.It wouldn’t be NBA Jam without a goofy sense of humor, and we’re glad bonuses like Big Head mode made it into this version of the game. To unlock most of the players and bonuses, you have to meet achievement-like challenges, like sinking ten jump shots in a game. You can also “cheat” by buying the unlocks outright as an in-app purchase.
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. EA Mobile really brought the jam this time, so don’t pass it up.
