It is Showtime!Mar 16, 2002 NBA Showtime is a better arcade version of NBA Jam and its sister game, College Slam. It's the same as NBA Jam, but it's in 3-D. One of the things i like is the horn you hear when you are goaltending or a free throw. It is indeed Showtime!

Best Game on the Play Station SystemAug 04, 2001 Ok this game is very exciting. The graphics are good and it doesn't cheat you very often. I have played this game probably over 200 times. Whenever I have friends over they always start playing that game. If i have a different game in they always take it out and put in NBA Showtime. It is very fun playing with 2 or more people. Even playing by yourself is fun. The 2-on-2 play spreads out the court well and it keeps track of stats pretty well too i think. Creating players and trying to get them to the top being a grand champion and all star champion makes you want to keep playing the game. I got a lot out of the game i think everyone should. In my opinion it's the best sports game on the Play Station system. I give it 5 stars. Thank You.

an acheivement for midwayJun 11, 2001 this game really was a surprise for me and and buds. really it is fun to play with 2 or more players. it gets boring playing it by yourself. the computer drone on your team doesn't do jack. if you can play with two or more people then buy this midway classic

This Is An Okay Game.Aug 14, 2000 On this game the graphics are great! The problem is that when I first bought this game I thought that there was going to be a whole team playing, but it's two vs. two. you pick out what two players you want two play with. The only good thing about it is that it's easier to play the game. I was hoping that a whole team would be playing each other. If you buy this game it's worth trying it.

a real disappointmentJul 06, 2000 Granted, the Playstation doesn't have quite the graphics of N-64 and certainly not the realism of Sega Dreamcast, however, I thought with this relatively simple and fun game they could really do a great job. Unfortunately, the graphics are no better than any other game. It is simple and fast paced (normally my kind of game) but it is a real design flaw that when you pass the ball to your teammate, you don't control the teammate (other than to shoot or pass). A more complicated game like NBA Live can even manage that simple feat. The dunks are great fun and I would imagine the game play with four people would be loads of fun (if I had friends I would be able to say so but, alas, such is not the case). My favorite game in the world is NFL Blitz and since Blitz and Showtime are both made by Midway, I expected more. So it goes.
