NBA Hoopz

THE GOOD:
Basket ball

THE BAD:
not a real basketball game

SUMMARY:
The game itself is fairly good, offers great gameplay and is fairly easy just to pick up and play, it doesnt really look like a ps2 game though, more like a psx, this lets it down a bit, apart from that it is a cool game to play and you will enjoy it, good for nba addicts and those who are new to the sport

NBA Hoopz is the latest in a long line of basketball games from Midway that are based on the original NBA Jam. Unfortunately this series has overstayed its welcome and is starting to get old and all too common place to still be entertaining after all of these years. So Midway decided to add one more player to the court to make the game some more fun, but this sadly did not work.

Pros:

1. Great idea (ten years ago)

Cons:

1. Overdone features
2. Does not offer much new
3. Not much fun after all of these years

The graphics are not well done at all. They look like early versions of Playstation game, they are kind of choppy and too polygonal. The only thing that seems better about this game is the increased likenesses of NBA players. The characters are nice but not anything to go bragging to all of your friends about. I think that Midway should have spent more time on this aspect of the game and hopefully it would have...
