Mar 5, 2011A faithful interpretation of the exhilarating game we remember from our youth, NBA JAM brings all the sound, fury, and raw excitement that one can expect from a manic, larger-than-life game of monster dunks and fiery hoops.
-
Feb 13, 2011If you loved the original or you're even slightly intrigued by this whacky basketball title, then I heartily recommend NBA JAM, but the lack of a multiplayer feature can be a sore point.
-
Feb 13, 2011Even as a solo game, 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.
-
May 24, 2011I was so pleased to find that the core experience of the game is still there, big heads and all.

Mar 17, 2011If you're a fan of the series or just fancy a great Basketball game with a sense of humour, then NBA Jam scores a 3 pointer. It's Boomshakalakin'.
-
Feb 28, 2011A wonderfully updated version of the classic arcade game. It's missing some features, most notably a multiplayer component, but the single player offering is more than competent and a lot of fun.
-
Feb 15, 2011This is the epitome of arcade gaming distilled into its purest form. It truly has to be seen to be believed.
-
Feb 14, 2011Aside from its unfortunate lack of two-player options, this is a complete package that controls beautifully and has production values that could easily rival that of the Wii version's. Even if you're not a huge NBA fan, this is a basketball game that can stand on its own based purely on the fun offered by its mechanics.
-
Mar 7, 2011Simply a must buy for sports fans, other iPhone owners should give it a shot too.
-
Feb 27, 2011This portable version of NBA Jam is simply awesome. The game comes with an excellent classic gameplay, fantastic graphics and sounds, lots of achievements and extras to unlock and a very solid career mode. At this moment it lacks a multiplayer mode, so we hope EA will add it in a future update.
-
Apr 12, 2011With crisp graphics, great sound (mainly in the form of the excellent commentary), and surprisingly playable gameplay, NBA Jam for the iPhone is well worth picking up, even if (or perhaps especially if) you're not a basketball fan.
-
Feb 15, 2011NBA Jam is a great basketball game, period. EA did a fantastic job translating its manic pace to the iPhone without getting tripped up by virtual controls.
-
Apr 12, 2011This JAM is all about "boomshakalaka" -– and beyond!
-
Feb 15, 2011One of the iPhone's greatest and most impressive sports games we've played.
-
Feb 13, 2011If it wasn't for the lack of multiplayer and the little details I mentioned, this would have definitely been a perfect game. For now though, it is without a doubt, a Boomshakalaka!

Games Master UKApr 1, 2011Only the two-player mode lets it down. [May 2011, p.95]

Feb 13, 2011NBA Jam is one slammin', jammin' ball game, but where's the multiplayer?
