NBA Jam Review for iPhone

28 June, 2001

Release: Out now!
Genre: Basketball
Rating: G

Boom shakalaka! NBA Jam has returned to the iPhone, encouraging gamers to ignore reality and somersault their way to the hoop. The wild game of two-on-two that once took arcades by storm is available at the App Store for less than the price of an ice cream.

For those who don't know what NBA Jam is, it's a basketball game with three-minute quarters, featuring all 30 teams from the NBA. But unlike other basketball games, you can push, throw elbows and jump 40-feet into the air to throw down some sick dunks.

The controls are easy, just shoot, pass and jump, and the virtual joystick on the touchscreen is easy to use. You can shake the phone to do spin moves, and if you hit three shots in a row before the team hits one you "catch fire", burning nets and knocking over the other team at will.

All the stars are in there, from LeBron James to Carmelo Anthony, and all with huge heads. The graphics are sweet, and you can play your mates via Bluetooth or WiFi. There's also training you can do, but why bother when you can do a 360 dunk on your first go?

Rating: 3/5
