Personal Review --------------------------------- When I first heard about NBA Showtime I thought it would suck. I wasn't going to purchase it over NBA 2K. So I bought NBA 2K. Weeks rolled by and then I had to make out my Christmas list. I decided to put NBA Showtime on it. On Christmas morning, I got it. Ever since I first opened it, it's been my favorite basketball game. I even like it better than NBA 2K. Gameplay: 10/10 - The fastest basketball game you can ever play. I can play games in about 5 minutes with all the fun I would have in NBA 2K. You can create your own player, put in a lot of codes, unlock secret options, and try having your name on top of the leader board. A great game. Graphics - 8/10 - The courts look nice. The players look really nice except they are really oversized. There are player intros in the game. Not as good as graphics as NBA 2K. Sound - 10/10 - I love the NBA music. They take the same music from the basketball games on NBC. Also, the announcer isn't bad. Replay Value - 10/10 - You can play for hours against either the computer or against friends. First you have to defeat all the teams. After you complete the game, you can still upgrade your person's attributes. This game will never get old. Overall - 10/10 - One of the best, if not the best basketball game I have played in my life. Make sure you buy this game. If you are deciding to get NBA 2K or this get both. You can't really match them up. --------------------------------- 7. Review (Nintendo 64) --------------------------------- This game had me shuddering for all of the two hours I played it. How could they take a great arcade game and literally destroy it on the N64 platform? Gameplay-wise, its mostly there.. but there are some serious bugs in this game that need to be addressed. Graphics: 4 The least they could have done was have high-res mode for all of the RAM-Pak owners. This game looks so horrendous in low-res that even the three-year-old sprite-based NBA Hangtime looks better than this. and to add to the overkill, the game chugs along at below 30fps. Sound: 5 Hey, at least they got the NBA on NBA intro correct. They must have been subsidizing costs on game cart ROM, because all of the players' names are omitted in this version. All you hear are random remarks a-la NBA Jam on SNES/Genesis platforms. Presentation: 2 The first thing that had me gritting my teeth was: How in the world could they have forgotten the players names above the turbo bar during gameplay? I find it laughable, because how in the HELL would you know who you're playing against when you can't even recognize him? (OK, long complaint). Also, in the Create-A-Player mode, i see a fill-in for player jersey #. What the hell point is that, when the players have no jersey #'s during gameplay? Also, no replays, free-throw shooting meter is WAY too fast in contrast to the arcade, game speed is not correctly proportionate to the arcade game, and the game is just too "dark". There are many other small problems with this game which are too many to list. Gameplay: 9 Well, it ain't the arcade game, but if you can overlook all those rushed omissions, the game is still NBA Showtime. if you're not an arcade/console purist, you will appreciate the increased speed in the game, and fairly responsive controls. Value: 5 If you loved sticking quarters in the arcade machine, and you dont have a Dreamcast, I would suggest trying to find it secondhand on Ebay, or at a used game dealer... but this game is NOT worth the 50-60 dollars new. Overall: 6 If I wasn't such a freak of the NBA Jam series (all of the games that resemble them) I would have probably given this game a 4 or a 5. But I do enjoy this game, forgiving all of its flaws and omissions, but hopefully a few people will read this review and realize this game is NOT the arcade game by all means. If you have a Dreamcast, by all means, get that version. --------------------------------- 8.
