NBA Showdown
SCORE: 82
Hopefully you enjoyed the back and forth
video we had of NBA Showdown. This is a solid retro basketball video
game. It does have a couple of issues which I will get into in this
review. The players are large and look great. The sounds are a bit too
quiet for our tastes. Too much squeaking on the floor. The crowd noises
are a sound byte or two. Which diminishes the overall game play
experience.
Fouls are so random in NBA Showdown. Run into another player and it
might be a charge, or it might be on the defense. It was easy to get
stuck on other players. The computer likes to pass backwards a lot. I
could never tell which shots would work and which ones would not. We had
trouble getting dunks working, if this game even has that in it. I would
think shooting right near the hoop should initiate a dunk.
I like having all of the teams in NBA Showdown. I like the different
options available to us. Families can learn the basics of basketball
thanks to NBA Showdown. I am very thankful Family Friendly Gaming
purchased this retro video game. It is a fun retro basketball video game
for families to play. Obviously basketball video games improved after
NBA Showdown.
