    We purchased this game for our oldest grandson for Christmas and it was an absolute “hit.” Our grandson is a NBA fanatic so we purchased this game for his new X Box One game he received from his parents. He spent all day for two consecutive days playing the game he received from us.

    This game is like the classic NBA Hang Time. Players make superhuman moves, get ridiculous power ups and have funny-looking bodies. You get to select players currently on the NBA rosters as well as legends you can unlock. It is fun but I take away 1 star for the music/soundtrack which gets a little annoying at times.

    The second iteration did improve on the first game in the series, but many of the same drawbacks are still present. -tough learning curve at first, but eventually gets easy -unlocking players through cards is fun, but lacks ability to get specific players -lack of depth prevents lasting appeal The cartoony nature of this game may lead you to believe it is a game gears toward kids, however it is a bit hard for players younger than eight.

    I bought this game while it was on sale. It’s quite entertaining. The downside is that you have to play forever to get the points to unlock popular basketball superstars.

    This is a great game to play with friends. The graphics are good for a cartoon game. The fact that the game is cost effective and requires little if any micro transactions is nice.

    Super dope game and reminds me of how NBA Street used to be. Only thing they make it extremely difficult to collect characters without spending real money to get VC.

    You can almost always pick this up for under $10. I wouldn't have been too pleased for a $60 purchase but for $10 and under you're getting a steal! Fun game with a good amount of features. Definitely enjoy playing it against other people but even so, it's a fun one player game. Don't hesitate to get this!

    Graphically it's pretty good for arcade basketball. More players to unlock due to the 2K license. The only issue I have is that it takes FOREVER to earn packs to unlock.

    Good game that's fun for the whole family. Only thing that I dont like is that all the playground players have to be unlocked and the cost WAY TO MUCH to do so.

    My son enjoys playing this game because he can goof around in it. It’s not as serious and structured as regular 2k.

    They finally came out with a new version and it was $20. Love getting down on this game with my friends and family. Very easy and fun game play. If you never played this I feel sorry for you.

    Fun game but it's not NBA Jam. Easy to play but not many characters to choose from. You have to buy card packs to unlock them.
