PSM3 Magazine UKIf you're after a light-hearted change of pace from 2K10, you could do far worse than this. [Sept 2010, p.94]

At its heart, it's a realistic basketball game that tries to be an arcade game. If Tecmo stuck with their roots and made it the game an actual arcade style b-ball game a la Tecmo Bowl, NBA Unrivaled would have been awesome but with stiff gameplay and wonky AI, the only thing good about this game is the way it looks.

There's a reason why there's only twelve people currently on the leaderboards for NBA Unrivaled and that is that this is one of the worst PSN games released in recent memory.

An unmitigated disaster.

While it is a nice throwback to the retro arcade-style basketball games of yore, the overall package is an accumulation of bad design decisions that adds up to one of the worst basketball games ever made.

Playstation Official Magazine UKI'd say that you should try playing this only to laugh at its total, across-the-board incompetence, but it'd be like recommending you throw eight quid into the bin and then roll around naked and giggling in a pile of your own faeces. Unrivaled indeed. [Sept 2010, p.115]
-
A game that rips off NBA Jam so deeply and soullessly.
