    If you want to feel like you're being cheated by the computer 50% of the time, and also have your teammate just make it seem like 2vs1 for the other 50% of the time get this game. This game is a load of CRAP. The computer cheats it's way back into games and makes sure your teammate plays absolutely 0 frigging defense. If you want a **** game that cheats you, go ahead and pick up this turd.If you want to feel like you're being cheated by the computer 50% of the time, and also have your teammate just make it seem like 2vs1 for the other 50% of the time get this game.

    If you've ever gotten caught up in a multiplayer game of Jam at the arcade or experienced the console conversions during the mid-'90s, this NBA Jam reboot is likely the closest anyone's come to getting it right since Midway's Hangtime series.

    Should've followed 3-on-3 NHL Arcade's XBLA lead. [Feb 2011, p.108]

    If you're in any way nostalgic about the original Jam games, at this price it's a slam dunk.
