NBA Playgrounds: Review
Saber Interactive's indie basketball game, NBA Playgrounds is the most recent basketball game to come out that has shied away from the traditional simulator such as 2k or Live for that sorely missed arcade flair of NBA Jams. Touting the signature 2v2 match up and a splash of NBA Streets, Playgrounds is a breathe of fresh air, but sometimes even the air can be a little bit stale. NBA Playgrounds has been stated to be somewhat of a spiritual successor of sorts to the aforementioned games, NBA Jams and NBA Streets. Playgrounds does bring back the caricature-esque NBA superstars with their own unique art style to further embrace the arcade-y feel. Overall the game can be fun, shooting, stealing, shoving, and dunking as you aim to fill up your Lottery Bar to get one 6 possible power-ups to help shift the game in your favor. Yet even with those elements done quite well, some decent music, the lack of hype the announcers in Playgrounds makes the game feel a bit disjointed...
