Nov 23, 2010Well done! The classic arcade gameplay returns.
-
Dec 11, 2010NBA Jam is a funny game that lets the player play 2 versus 2 in completely over the top basketball matches. This game is all about fun and that's the strongest part of the game. The graphical style is also unique and fun. You got the realistic NBA 2K11 game and the not so realistisch NBA Jam game, your choice!

Jan 4, 2011NBA Jam meets most of its expectations.The game is very entertaining however it must be said that this should have been a downloadable game. The game just doesn't feel like a full retail game but remains amusing nonetheless.
-
Dec 11, 2010NBA Jam is a fastpaced and entertaining take on the arcade basketball genre and it feels slick and well executed, but there's one problem. The game feels like a PSN or Xbox Live title with it's limited content.
-
Dec 1, 2010NBA Jam arrives on PS3 with a swanky HD makeover and modern players, though the lack of any new compelling gameplay features makes it a little hard to justify the $50 price tag.
-
Dec 1, 2010At the end of the day, NBA Jam is a solid reboot that does a good job of keeping to the franchise's roots, while adding a few new game modes to the table.
-
Nov 30, 2010Just the same game we already played on Wii with the addition of online multiplayer. Maybe it would've been one of the greatest downloadable games of the last 4 years, but as a retail title, it's a little bit disappointing.
-
Nov 26, 2010With the full complement of players, NBA Jam is great fun in short bursts, but it's impossible not to feel that EA has swamped a simple game with extraneous modes desperately to try and justify a retail release.
-
Nov 25, 2010Those who miss the orinal NBA Jam, or simply want an arcade basket title won't be dissapointed by this new version. In retains all the original's elements and respects its formula, adding up several game modes. It may surprise you for the number of hours you can keep playing.

Nov 17, 2010This rim-rocking arcade classic returns, and though it's pretty shallow, it's still an awful lot of fun.

Play UKDec 29, 2010Occasionally thrilling, and lovingly reproduced. [Issue#200, p.92]

Jan 28, 2011NBA Jam is a lot of fun to play, especially with friends both online and off. The game plays exactly like the original in terms of gameplay, which was the series' strong point. EA has gone to great lengths to ensure that the strengths of the original has remained in tact.
-
Jan 3, 2011Overall, NBA Jam is passable as quick pick up and play game, but offers very little for players looking for something to really sink their teeth into, NBA Jam is best played with friends as the AI is infuriating.
-
Jan 1, 2011A classic example of a game with a lot of great ideas that loses its focus. With a little more polish, we could have had something special here. What we end up with is a title that air balls some of those wide open jumpers.

Games Master UKFeb 18, 2011A neat little slice of nostalgia. [Feb 2011, p.94]

Playstation Official Magazine UKFeb 16, 2011Buy it and it'll keep you amused for an hour every few weeks. [Jan 2011, p.118]

Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)Jan 6, 2011We can't stop wondering how we'd feel about the game is EA had ungraded Jam with modern gameplay fineries. Or better yet, priced it more appropriately. [Jan 2011, p.85]
-
Nov 30, 2010So while the core game remains as entertaining as ever, what we've got here is essentially a fun little multiplayer-focused game which EA has burdened with a cache of tiresome, superfluous and unnecessary bonus modes, the overall focus designed around squeezing out a full-blown retail release.

PSM3 Magazine UKJan 13, 2011At 10 quid, this'd probably score in the mid 70s. Shame. [Jan 2011, p.96]
