An even wilder NBA Jam sequel with explosive play. Ideal for four player arcade nights without sport pretense.

"From the very first seconds"
Utterly deranged two-on-two basketball: supernatural dunks, players on fire and aerial combos defy every law of physics. Player customisation adds a fun touch and the frantic pace never lets you breathe. With several players, rivalry builds fast amid the laughter. Spectacular, snappy and gleeful, an arcade sport built for showing off.
Arcade basketball in the NBA Jam vein, with its supercharged two-on-two matches, gravity-defying dunks and colourful commentary. The added player editor brings a welcome personal touch. Instant fun and spectacle far outweigh realism, making it a great party game. Still highly effective today for frenzied multiplayer sessions, especially for anyone who loves snappy arcade hoops.
