description

Boooooooom-shaka-laka! EA Sports is bringing back the classic, most beloved arcade basketball game ever—NBA JAM—exclusively for the Nintendo Wii in 2010. Originally made by Midway back in 1993 for video arcades, NBA JAM was a humongous hit, with exciting, over-the-top, cartoony 2-on-2 basketball action that defied both traditional basketball rules as well as the laws of gravity and physics. It was the basketball game for people who didn't like—or even know how to play—basketball. And it even let you play as Bill Clinton—if you knew how to unlock the character.

Now EA Sports is reinventing the game for the 21st century with all-new graphics and physics, as well as new game modes and features. No word yet on whether Clinton is coming back, or the Mortal Kombat characters, or whether the new game will still cheat to ensure that the Pistons always beat the Bulls. One nice update that we can confirm: You won't have to keep feeding quarters into your Wii to keep playing! Hooray for the modern world! Slam-a-jamma!

Classic game.
It's pretty much exactly like you remember. Great fun with 2 or 4 people, alone it's not so great. There is a lot to do, but the multiplayer is what makes this game shine. Online play would have helped, and likely those who have an xbox or ps3 will pick up their version instead, if only for the online. If you only have a wii though, it's a great addition.

Good fun!
While I'm not too thrilled about the lack of online multiplayer the game itself is extremely fun! The controls take a while to get used to but once you have them down, I couldn't play the game any other way. The wiimote/nunchuck combo is definitely the way to play this game.
If you loved the previous versions and don't mind taking the time to get used to a very radically new control scheme, I recommend this one!

A Classic Returns!
I loved the original title on the Sega Megadrive it rocked fast paced action, crazy moves and fantastic multilayer. Well all of that pretty much goes for this new title too! Its fantastic and captures the frantic spirit of the once great franchise. For new comers too it will prove to be a favorite party game where you and three of your friends can team up for some good old 2 on 2 slam dunking action. The graphics have been overhauled and look great, the presentation is in no way realistic however it captures a fun side better than any other NBA game on the market. The controls take a little time to get hold of, however you can choose to play with remote and nun-chuck, remote alone or with the classic controller each control scheme giving a different feel to the game.
This is a top Wii title which suits the platform perfectly and will provide you with hours of fun, especially if you have some friends over.
