Nba Showtime or Nba Jam Millennium?, Jan 10 2000

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars :5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC (Game Cartridge)
not much to criticize about this game except that this is for Nba jam or hangtime lovers. But, lovers beware! This game has gotten a new few rules such as no more than 5 pushes to the person carrying the ball or a 3 point free throw is given to that team. When you are on fire, you can only make 5 fire shots in a row then it turns off. So, what I am trying to say is that I think Midway decided to make these changes so it would be a bit challanging. I only defeated the computer by 13 points the highest. In Previous Nba jam gams I could win easily!

Very Cool, Nov 12 2002

NBA Showtime was the newest incarnation of the very popular and ongoing NBA JAM series except now it went a little more high scale because it takes the NBA on NBC jingles, videos and of course the stills and visuals of the NBA on NBC TV programming.
Like all NBA JAMs, totally outrageous basketball from start to finish. You can expect anything and everything in this one from more out of this world dunks to being "On Fire" shooting and of course the newly added alley oops and free throws. Yes that's right, no more shoving your opponents all over the place because now they get 2 foul shots, each worth 3 points a piece (and even Shaq can hit these free throws!)
You can even create your own character and build that character to be the best as you take on the entire NBA in 2 on 2 mayhem. You also get to answer NBA trivia (just like on TV during games). Pretty cool.
I'd get this one because I personally think that this is NBA JAM at it's best. Very fun and also very cool to play with friends. Especially if you and a friend are good enough to pull off the triple alley oop pass for Team Fire. Again, check it out!

This is a really great game that is non-stop fun. The graphics are really cool. You can also do cool dunks and moves that make the game fun.If you want a game that is like the NBA this isnt the game for you. The only thing I don't like about it is that their isnt a season mode so playing by yourself isnt as fun as playing with your friends. I really enjoy this game and I recomend you get it.
