NBA Playgrounds Review

9.2 Total Score
Very Good

Developed by Saber Interactive, and officially licensed by the National Basketball Association, NBA Playgrounds is set up as an arcade-style basketball game akin to prior games such as the NBA Jam and NBA Street series. Utilizing the NBA license nearly perfectly with a roster of 150 current and retired legends combined (Kobe/Jordan notably excluded). There are tons of cards to unlock, an individual player level system, and the tournament mode where you go to different locations around the world to play 4 games against AI teams. Make sure you have a game controller if possible, playing on the keyboard is really tough! This is not backyard basketball where that game was mouse driven. A perfect NBA Jams and NBA Street mashup. Instantly fun and addictive. If you liked casual fun sports games, i would recommend picking this up.
