Otherwise, open it. She was right. And lo and behold, there s Shaq, glaring menacingly from the cover as he palms a flaming basketball. Despite Shaq s grim countenance, this game is nothing but fun. It really reminds me of old Scooby Doo episodes when the Harlem Globetrotters made guest appearances.
Players catch huge air on O and D, skying far above the basket to jam home a dunk or block a shot.
You can toss up a prayer from anywhere on the court and have a fair chance of getting it answered. It s about as realistic as the Globetrotters hooping it up atop their bus, but it s the same kind of cartoonish fun. The faces are the truest recreation of NBA stars I ve seen, though the big heads do look a little out of place on the equally outlandish bods. Hoopz wisely keeps the best of what Jam brought to the table. If one player hits three shots in a row, the basketball bursts into flames in his hands, he gets unlimited turbo, and his shooting percentage gets a huge boost.
