    The people who made this deserve to be sued! They took away the ability to purchase all the characters and now you have to purchase them all individually for a massive premium (and keep in mind how this is all real money). To top it off if you purchased any content and you try to play this game on a different PC you will not be able to access anything that you have purchased.

That is right, you can't play this on a different PC and if anything happens to your computer or you upgrade to a different one everything you bought for this game is a complete loss. At this point this is just a predatory game meant to ripoff anyone who buys it.… Expand

    The perfect arcade basketball game! This is what 80s and 90s gamers have dreamed about owning for years, in its perfect incarnation. Hope to see another game from the series in the future! Deserves nothing less than a 10 out of 10! Have owned it multiple times on different systems. I rarely re-buy games, but enjoyed this so much, a re-buy was a must. Superb 2 player fun!

    Best game ever. Players look very realistic, it makes me make the review 7 characters, so this is a extremely good game.

    The worst balanced game I've ever played. Can't believe after 4 years they still wanna rip 30$ from you for this crap. It's like the Cashgrab AI-Cheating Mobile Game Versions of actual Sports Games.

    I'll tell you how this game goes: You play with Shaq and Kareem, both huge players with good blocking and nice dunking skills. You play against Steve Nash and another small dude, both are    The worst balanced game I've ever played. Can't believe after 4 years they still wanna rip 30$ from you for this crap. It's like the Cashgrab AI-Cheating Mobile Game Versions of actual Sports Games.

    I'll tell you how this game goes: You play with Shaq and Kareem, both huge players with good blocking and nice dunking skills. You play against Steve Nash and another small dude, both are rather fast and known for their shooting.

    But instead, these 2 are destroying your 2 huge legends with insane Dunkings, which is ridiculous. Another funny thing is that only you are able to fail Dunkings while it never happens to the AI players, even if their Dunking Skill is 5 they jump from the 3 point line and execute a perfect Dunk. Sometimes if you managed to block, the other AI player with a Dunking skill of 8 rebounds the blocked Dunking in the air and executes the ultimate Dunk.

    So I had this AI Cheating feeling the first time I played but gave the Season Mode at lowest difficulty a chance but due to the cheating AI you don't have a chance.

    So this game is only able to be enjoyed if you play AGAINST friends or oterh real players and not against the AI. The AI is going to destroy you for sure at some point of the season in the most unrealistic, unbalanced, ridiculous ways letting players dunk continuously which in real life have never executed a single Dunking in a game.

    Can't believe they are A) charging this money for a fun mashup game and B) making the AI harder to beat than anything ever in every *serious* game due to the AI cheats.    … Expand

    A solid and really quite fun basketball game for fans of arcade action and outrageous dunks.

    The sheer insanity of Playgrounds‘ on-screen madness truly keeps me motivated to come back to the game again and again. But it’s those few unnecessary, backward changes that keep Playgrounds 2 from becoming a true champion.
