Advantages: Great graphics, great sound, good fun - an all round excellent game Disadvantages: The controls are awkward to get used to
. Whilst not too bad I did find it annoying after a couple of hours of game play.
Personally, I would like to see sound effects found in the NBA Jam basketball game on the Megadrive back in the year dot. The commentary was great including ?He?s on fire!?, ?Is it the shoes??, ?Boom-shack-alack!? and the like. I guess if this commentary was included this game would not be a ?true? Mario genre game.
****Controls****
Mario Slam Basketball makes full use of the DS touch screen as well as the directional pad. There are left and right handed modes to make this possible, and I only found this out after 5 minutes of struggling in getting to grips with the controls.
The characters are moved around the court using the directional pad (if playing in right handed mode) or the A, B, X and Y buttons (if playing in left handed mode).

Advantages: Great grafics, fast game play, great with a friend Disadvantages: Screaching trainers get anoying after a while, not mutch happens away from the hoops.
I got alone of this game from my mate Steve a few weeks ago. I had never played a basketball game before this.
Playing the Game:
There is a choice of season, play-offs or exhibition play. I prefer to play the play-offs.

Unfortunately it is just as easy for the computer to come back and score on their first shot. If the computer team is behind in the last quarter they foul you at any opportunity they have, But if they are winning they will play about with the ball so you haven’t got a hope in winning. The difficulty level doesn’t seem to make a difference. The graphics make the players look dead realistic. High scoring matches make it a brilliant laugh with a friend.
ADVANTAGES:
Great graphics, fast ...
Advantages: Immersive story line, believable acting, soundtrack Disadvantages: Very basketball orientated - difficult to understand if you don't know much about basketball
I purchased this film many years ago, in fact I think it was about 6 years ago, maybe 7, and I watched it for the millionth time last night and thought to myself "people really need to know how good this film is"... Because lets face it, if you haven't already heard of it, and you don't love basketball then why should you ever bother to watch it? Right?
Well hopefully i'll convince you its a good idea. But i'll make sure I show you why I like it, and why some people may not.
Well firstly, the story. The film is a story of 2 next door neighbors that have been living next to each other since they were kids. Both of them (a boy and a girl) love the sport of basketball. The boy, Quincy, (Omar Epps) has dreams of making it big time in the NBA (National Basketball Association) and has all the tools and money to do so, due to his father being ...
