![]() ![]() When you are close to the net and are going for a slam dunk, the view switches to a cinema view of a close up of the net while you try to slam the ball or stuff your opponent. There is also a lot of detail present in each court, and each has a dirty and gritty look adding to the realistic feel. Real actors were digitized for the game, so there’s a fair amount of realism on display here. Jammit is a fairly detailed game in the graphics department. It’s not long before he cleans house against your player, so you had better be playing well. When you finally finish each tournament a fourth and final opponent named Judge challenges you to a death match with his choice of rules, and he has all the combined attributes of your characters and also never runs out of stamina. After each tournament you get a password, and it’s needed since your opponents are fierce enough that the game probably won’t be completed in one sitting. Later, you can only score when you shoot from the X, and there’s even a tournament where you can only score when you slam dunk the ball. One tournament has a moving X, and points are worth double when you score on the X. ![]() The first one is a simple game of one on one, but each tournament adds new rules. There are a total of eight different tournaments to compete in, each with a different set of rules. Trust me, if you don’t use it at the right times then you’ll never keep up with your opponent.

The three selectable courts are full of graffiti and set in what looks to be like the rougher parts of town. Bird coupled with the all the elements of NBA Jam except this time laced with trash talkin’ opponents and mild adult undertones (no it’s nothing you couldn’t let your 8 year old kid play for all you dirty minds out there).
