And to think I played fifty bucks for this damn “game”.įor the next few weeks while the game sat back on my shelf I was checking the message boards of EA, filing my complaints along with those others who also were outraged that the game missed its mark by so damn much. Really? Boss Battles, EA? What the hell are you thinking? This is a basketball game you morons, not fucking ‘Super Mario Brothers’. to play against that would leave Deep Blue scratching his brain, and mother fucking boss battles. The programmers at EA made the mistake of spending their time creating “Half Court” games. Things like the ability to control whoever on your team has the ball, fouling people in mid air just so you can steal the ball from them and an ‘On Fire’ mode that made you next to invincible on the court. NBA JAM lacked just about everything that made the original games so much fun to play. The rest of my hopes and dreams for this game came crashing down like a bricked shot at the NBA finals. Since than it has sat quietly in the plastic box I bought in on the shelf next to my TV with my other video games. This new NBA JAM wonderfully maintained the arcade look the game has always had since it was released in the 90s, but that is the only good thing I can say about that game.
I played NBA JAM for all of two hours after I got it. So, you might say I am picky about the games I play. ‘ Top Gun‘, and the latest ‘ Mortal Kombat‘, which is a remake of the same game with the same title from the 90s, that focused a lot of bringing back all the elements of the original ‘Mortal Komabat’ game that fans like.
I have owned a PS3 for some time and have a dozen or so games, but there are only two I play on a regular basis. Like an eager gamer, I rushed out to the store to pick up my own copy on release day and jammed it into my Playstation 3 (PS3) so fast that I barely realized that I was missing work to play it.Īs you can tell I was pretty excited to play this game.
NBA JAM was released for the current generation on consoles about this time last year. I was so excited last year when EA released an updated version of one of my favorite games of all time. Drawing from the things that made the original games so great and what EA should have done from the start with last years release. NBA JAM: On Fire Edition, is a return to the video game franchise’s roots.
