NBA Jam (Sega Game Gear review)

Developer: Iguana Entertainment
Publisher: Arena Entertainment
Released: 1994

NBA Jam is a sports game that was first released in the Arcade in 1993.

+ Scaled-down port is remarkable, and the extravagant gameplay is addictive due to its fast-paced approach.

+ Includes an enormous range of official NBA players and their avatars are beautifully crafted for impressive likenesses.

+ Absence of fouls makes for some fun combat, and the half-time stats detail lots of information about each player.

+ Majestic jams look spectacular and there's a breathtaking amount of dunk animations to amplify the excitement.

- Combining Turbo with the face buttons for super moves is awkward due to the split placement of the Start button.

- Doesn't have a true Season or Playoff mode, and there's no Gear-to-Gear Cable support for 2P multiplayer.

- While understandable, the lack of Tim Kitzrow's voice clips hurt the presentation and text-only lines might have helped.
