About this product
Product Information
- NBA Jam is another installment of the critically acclaimed NBA series. It was developed by EA Canada and later published by EA Sports. Fans loved the serious tone present in previous NBA games but were delighted by the more lighthearted approach that Jam took toward the classic American sport. It is the eighth entry in the NBA Jam series of games, and it enjoyed a 9.0 reception rating on Nintendo Power magazine. The art direction of the game is a unique fan-favorite as well since it showcases 3-D visual models with photo-realistic 2-D player heads designed to appear comical alongside extreme slam dunk poses and flaming basketballs. The game has a rating of E, meaning that it is suitable for everyone.Besides Sony PlayStation 3, the game is also available for the Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Xbox 360. Through the fun and easygoing take on traditional basketball games, players can look forward to competing against a variety of classic NBA teams, including the Los Angeles Lakers. Choose all the best players you want for your team and take on the opposition. You can choose from many famous basketball stars or line your team up with mascots to surprise your opponents and keep them guessing.You have a variety of wacky gameplay mechanics at your disposal that make the action even more enjoyable. In addition to the exaggerated artistic style, the physical mechanics are exaggerated as well. These are designed to make the intense strategy sessions even more insane. Players can jump several times above their actual physical height and slam down on the basket to defy the laws of physics and real human capabilities. You can also expect to enjoy completely unhindered sporting action as there are no free throws, no fouls, and no violations except for goal-tending and 24-second penalties. This translates to an even more aggressive play style as players can shove their opponents or elbow them out of the way to control the court. Another feature of the game is an on-fire mode. If you can make three consecutive shots, you will enter a state with unlimited turbo mode and increased playing skills.When cycling through the available modes, you can enjoy a single-player series of options or team multiplayer to challenge your friends. The single player modes include campaign options and an immediate mode that allows you to jump right into the court. In eliminations, you can have one-on-one boss battles with some of your favorite legends and use special power-ups to get your moves up and take down some of the biggest names in basketball history. Other features in NBA Jam on PS3 include unlockable characters and various Easter Eggs. You can unlock some characters by playing the game while others are available by inputting special initials and codes. If you are a fan of the series and are looking for a more lighthearted way to pass the time playing the sport you know and love, make NBA Jam for the PS3 a priority.

NBA Jam iterates on everything that made the orignal game so great.
Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, NBA Jam remains a basketball game for people who are grossly indifferent to basketball games. No prior knowledge of the intricacies and history of the sport are required to succeed at NBA Jam -- just a quick run through of the three-minute tutorial is all you need to know what you're doing on the court. (It's also all you need to unlock the game's Big Head mode; an absolute necessity for appreciating the exuberant, still-image facial expressions of the game's ballers.) The mechanics of the game also remain unperturbed -- on offense, you'll need to manage your turbo bar, spin and crossover on your defenders, pass to your teammate or shoot/dunk; on defense, you'll need to shove, swipe at and block your opponents. Score three baskets in a row and you're on fire, giving you a boost to your accuracy and dunkability until someone else scores.EA's desire to stay true to the original also led the developer to bring Tim Kitzrow, announcer for the original Jam, back into the studio. Like a fine wine, Kitzrow's brand of easily excitable color commentary has aged extremely well in the 17 years since the series' first installment. The same can be said for all his old catchphrases, which Kitzrow re-recorded for the new game -- not to mention all his new, equally quotable memes. ("No hoop for you!" "Quack, quack, quack!" "Boom goes the dynamite!")he game feels excellent, though it's unclear whether that's due to EA Canada tightening up the actual controls of the game or if the graphical overhaul provided by three generations of game consoles has made the on-court action easier to keep track of. The game still moves at a breakneck pace, but few of your on-court failures or successes will leave you wondering what the hell just happened.The controls using the standard Wiimote and Nunchuck scheme work surprisingly well, though you'll probably make your fair share of accidental half-court shots while performing a celebratory gesticulation. This can be remedied if you elect to play the game using a Classic Controller -- or by simply remembering to constantly keep a cool head and even steadier hand.These strengths are highlighted by two of the game's core modes: Play Now, which lets up to four players choose teams and players for a basic two-on-two match-up, and the Classic Campaign, which has one or two players take on a succession of teams, including occasional boss fights against legendary combos like the Knicks' Patrick Ewing and John Starks.By progressing through the Classic Campaign, or by completing challenges requiring you accomplish certain goals (make five blocks, double the opposing team's score) in a single game, you unlock new teams, players, basketball skins and gameplay modifiers. These definitely add a much-needed layer of depth to the game -- but if you're a completionist, you're going to have to unlock a few of these bonuses by playing through NBA Jam's less-than-stellar mode:Remix Tour.Two of the Remix Tour's five game types use the full-court perspective of the classic campaign: The two-on-two Remix mode, which mimics the classic game only with shorter quarters and randomly generated power-ups, and Smash mode, which has two two-player teams battling to dunk and alley-oop the opposition's hoop into oblivion. These two aren't terribly offensive, but play like gimmicky mini-games when compared to the core Jam formula.Read full review

Two Great Games
I love these two games. I have been playing them both since back in the day. NBA Jam isn't as good as it once was but if you love basketball and linking against other opponents online, heres the game for you. You can throw down awesome dunks and sweet ally-oops. Another thing is if you hit three shots in row you will catch on fire giving extra help on making shots. You can play in special mode where there is power-ups on the court that help you or the other team out. There is different mini games also. The is 21, elimination, and a few more. Now GTA online is AWESOME. Every time you play its NEVER the same. You could use the same weapons and the same spot over and over but you are going to have to people every time so the skill level will be different. You can play in single player and its just a series of missions you have to go through to beat the game. Some are extremely easy while others you will think is impossible. The games with out online play is still fun but WAY better online. Hope this helps.Read full review
