So I was browsing through Screwattack's VGV on NBA Jam. After watching the short review, I was reminded on the epic game, so I dusted off the old SNES, blew on the cartridge, and played basketball the way it was meant to be played. After 30 minutes of high flying dunks, great balls of fire, and glass shattering awesomeness, I put down the SNES controller, and picked up the PS2 one.

I decided to slot in NBA 06. When a game costs 5 dollars cause it sucks, you have to get it. After choosing the team, I played a game. I was surprised on how slow the game play was compared to NBA Jam. In the time it took you to get to one side of the court in the other in 06, you had already made 10+ points in NBA Jam.

Sure, I thought, of course the NBA games are modeled and praised for their realistic gameplay, but when someone enjoys playing a basketball game that came out more than a decade ago over a game that came out 2-3 years ago, someone's not been doing their job, and someone obviously did a beautiful job.

Plain and simple, NBA Jam kicks ass. Share your love of NBA Jam.

I have yet to play the sequel, which was NBA Showdown(?) I seriously think they need to make a remake, not only does the game play so smoothly, but if you hook it up with some monster graphics, thats just beautiful.
