    The lack of a link-cable option, the limiting of power-ups to the jam mode, and an absence of mid-shot passing are the three problems that ultimately keep NBA Jam 2002 from attaining all-star status.

    Superb sound effects and fast, insane "on-fire" action is classic Jam through and through. [Feb 2002, p.154]

    Jam fans will find the move to the Advance didn't really make the experience any better.

    It can't compare to the original NBA Jam. While the gameplay is good in most respects the control scheme is aging and the physics and AI need some improvement as well.
