What Kind Of Game Is This?
This is a basketball game. I think.
You Think?
Well, there are four players on the court. And there's a basketball. And the referee calls back-court violations. I guess that's enough.
Is One Of The Players Magic Himself?
Nope. But his mug appears on the screen after every three-pointer, telling you how wonderful your shot was. He also will tell you between quarters that you're doing well (even if you're behind), and will give you tips on how you should improve (even if you're ahead by, say, one hundred). His best tip is, "Try to dunk the ball!"
And Did You?
I tried for an entire quarter to dunk but all I could do was take jump shots under the basket.
But The Instruction Booklet Says "Catch The Magic! Now you can slam dunk like the pro's!"
Notice the improper apostrophe in that sentence.
What Else Is Magical About The Game?
Players knock down about 70% of their three-pointers, and in the only exhibition game I played, both teams racked up over 45 steals.
I Assume You Haven't Played 4-Player Mode.
Has anyone?
So Who Would You Recommend This To?
Magic, for shamelessly endorsing his junk. I mean, this junk.
