2011-09-27
From: Danny
Comments: Really, really bad. Not only do you not get to play with pro teams (even in a fake-ass league like in Great Football) but you don't even really get to play anything like actual basketball. The only defense you can play to speak of is trying to draw charges, and while you can get pretty good at it, it is just so fucking stupid that you can't block a shot, you can't intercept a pass, you can't do anything but run around and try to get in front of the player with the ball or play with yourself while you wait for him to shoot. Just shit. Pure shit.

Comments: Good game, actually. Surprisingly good, in fact. Best football game to be found on the SMS, but would it have killed them to make more than two different uniforms for all the teams? They managed to do it for Walter Payton Football, a much lesser game in terms of actual game play (sorry Walter).

Comments: Good game, better with a friend, though, that's for sure. It makes the fact that you have to cheat to get past the final level a little more palatable than if you try to slog through it by yourself. The last level, by the way, proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that it is better to have a gun than to know martial arts.
