Video Game Review: NBA Jam
Where the new version branches out is with the Remix Tour. Here each NBA team presents a series of three challenges (bronze, silver and gold) that need to be completed to earn points, which are then used to unlock other divisions. It is within this tour that the new game modes are introduced. For example, one addition called Domination has teams trying to acquire and then protect spots on the court as each spot you own allows you rack up points. Another pits three-to-four players against each other in a free-for-all where the lowest score is eliminated every two minutes.
