NBA Hoopz for PlayStation 2

Pros: Familiar NBA Jam-type gameplay; outrageously fun dunks
Cons: Sound glitches; torn between arcade and sim; extra player only complicates things

I am a huge NBA Jam fanatic; I own almost every version of Jam (Hangtime, Showtime, T.E.) around and I was looking forward to NBA Hoopz. I was willing to let Midway slide on its NFL Blitz 2001 flop as long as NBA Hoopz was as good as or better than NBA...

Pros: addictive gameplay
Cons: graphics, loading, among others

First and foremost, this title isn't nearly as good as previous versions of similar games (NBA Jam, etc.). If you want more information on what I say what I say, then read on.

When I first rented the game, I thought it would be a great game....

Pros: Graphics much better than past slam games.
Cons: Turbo is slower, harder to alley oop and direct passes.

This game has all the action packed woop it up dunks, slams, turns and twists as any other NBA Jam, NBA on NBC, with maybe just a little bit more and less. I think the graphics are definitely better than the other games or at least noticeably better...

Pros: Awesome, Fast Paced Gameplay, Sweet Dunks
Cons: Expensive, Not much for the all powerful PS2
