NBA Jam franchise return on PS2 with two-on-two arcade basketball. Spectacular dunks, on-fire player mechanics and exaggerated commentary are present. Nostalgic fan service for arcade basketball fans who grew up with the original 1990s franchise.

Description
An EA Canada and EA Sports arcade basketball reboot released in 2010 (Europe, Australia, US), a resurrection of the cult 1990s NBA Jam franchise. Supernatural 2-on-2 matches, impossible dunks and the return of Tim Kitzrow's "Boomshakalaka!" An affectionate and precise tribute to the original arcade, with the 2010-2011 NBA roster.

Arcade basketball in all its excess: frenzied two-on-two, gravity-defying dunks and flaming balls that turn every basket into a firework. Everything is fast, everything is over the top, and that's exactly the point. With several players, showboating becomes a sport. Delirious, snappy and unabashed, a hilarious blow-off perfect for parties.
