Remember hearing
“From Downtown!!” and “He’s on fire!!” Then you will remember playing NBA Jam
on the Sega Genesis. Electronics arts published and developed NBA Jam: On Fire
Edition for the PSN and Xbox LIVE. With an E-rating so anyone at any age can
enjoy this game, either for the first time or just revisiting an old favorite.
This rebirth of a classic definitely enhances everything you loved about the
original. The commentator not only tells when your “on fire” but also when you
should be embarrassed when you’ve had the ball stolen right from your hands.
New music in the game gives it a fresh feel with some beats you may think your
familiar with.
The controls are just as easy to get a handle on as there are
just a few buttons that you need. To make things easier, some button
combinations are mapped for ease of access. A couple new features Jam has, is
the Road Trip mode, where you play each division of the NBA in Two-on-Two
matches. You can play this mode as a single player or with a friend in co-op.
Also, Jam Points allows you to unlock titles, icons, legendary players, and
special effects. Arena allows you to play online against others for some head
to head action. It’s even a great party game with the Jam Now mode. This mode
allows you and three others to play a local game or online. The only thing I
would possibly change is the fact that the AI is completely unforgiving. It
seems as if you start to pull ahead the computer just completely becomes
unstoppable. If your looking for a sports game to pass some time, hook up with
friends, or even beat up on other gamers, then NBA Jam: On Fire Edition will
give you what you need to get away from all those first person shooters and
without the seriousness of other sports games.
