Subpar to NBA Jam

College Slam is pretty much just an NBA Jam clone except that it's college teams instead of the NBA. In fact, it is just like it in almost every other way except for some of the new ideas that they put into the game. For example, you can get a tornado icon and whirl into your opponents which will make them lose the ball so you can steal it. Another good one is that you can make lightning strike your opponent's goal so they can't score any points for a few seconds no matter what they do. That's the only reason I gave it 3 stars instead of just 2.
Really, the control, graphics, and sound are not that great. I'd recommend getting NBA Hangtime, NBA Jam, or NBA Jam: Tournament Edition before you get this game. College Slam is fun for a little while, but it gets old fairly quick.
Suweeeeeeeeeet

Developed in 1996, this game is basicly a clone of NBA JAM. Same company, same makers and all that... only instead of having individual players like well known NBA stars, it instead gives you the option to choose if you want to be the centre, forwards or gaurds, which means do you wanna be big, medium or small. Apart from that, it basicly is NBA JAM.
Differences between this and NBA JAM are...
- What I said above
- New whirlwind powerup
- a powerup that makes the other teams ring vanish
- power up to be invisable
- season mode
- "juice" (speed up the game) is now an option, not just a code and goes to x4.
- maybe a few new dunks?
Cons
- CPU calls annoying time outs.
- Just because youre on fire doesnt mean it will always go in
- Its annoying when the CPU gets powerups like the ring vanishing one or hits an 8 point hotspot on the buzzer.
- you can only use one cheat at a time :( (meaning if you use the infinite fire cheat then you cant also use the 'dunk from anywhere cheat)
If they wanted to perfect this game, they shouldve had option for which powerups you could have in a game. It would be nice to turn off the slippery floors and vanishing ring amongst others.
This game will probably only appeal to the fans of NBA JAM, NBA JAM T.E & NBA HANGTIME... it's pretty much that game, but you might find it interesting to see some of the tweaks and changes... if you're into serios basketball games like the real thing, then you probably wont like this game. It's 2 on 2, crazy dunks, push & shove, no fouls and goes flatstick round da corna!
Cheats:
DUNK FROM ANYWHERE
At the vs screen, enter Down, Up, Down, Up, Down, Up
INFINITE ON FIRE
(No goaltending either!)
at the vs screen, enter Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Down, Down
Other codes can be found all over the net.
This Game Sucks
