REVIEW: NBA Ballers Rebound
NBA Ballers Rebound for the PSP is
like that veteran free agent your team just signed--it gets the job
done but you've seen all these moves before.
Overall Score: 7.5 / 10
The Good:
Faithful port of the original Ballers; gameplay design is still fun;
lots of stuff to unlock; nice-looking character models and animation.
The Bad:
Not much has changed from the original game; long loading times; no
online play.
When the original Ballers was released in 2004, it brought a breath of
fresh air to the arcade basketball genre. Not since Dr. J versus Bird
had anyone pulled off a one-on-one basketball game that was quite as
compelling. The experience of the original Ballers game has now been
shrunken down into portable form on the PlayStation Portable with NBA
Ballers: Rebound. While it still retains the same modes and fun
gameplay from the original, that's also part of the problem--you're
hard pressed to find what's new in the game. But as a straight port of
the original, Rebound gets the job done and delivers a fun basketball
experience on the go.
