NBA Playgrounds is an officially NBA licensed arcade-style basketball game featuring both active and retired players.

Only had this game a few days and it's is absolutely amazing! Great graphics, fantastic game play and a really cool storyline so far! Can't fault the customer service either as both games arrived exactly when stated!

It may be inspired by other games but it perfects the formula.

Tense atmosphere; multiple playstyles; tight gameplay; fantastic sound design; great story

So many glitches and bugs; difficulty is very uneven

Recently, I finished the main storyline of Arkane Studios' Prey . The accomplishment did not bring with it the sort of happiness and fulfillment I usually experience when finishing a game. I didn't enjoy my time with Prey .

NBA Playgrounds thankfully is a fully licensed game and includes players of past and present. You will find great NBA players such as LeBron James and Stephen Curry along with retired players like Magic Johnson, Wilt Chamberlain and Playgrounds cover athlete Allen Iverson.

If you liked NBA Jam you'll like this; Offers some nice quick fun; Fully licensed roster

Design is very simplistic; Online modes are lacking; Offline modes needs more content

Prepping for my review of NBA Playgrounds has been as enjoyable as playing NBA Playgrounds – even more so maybe – as I trek virtually through the rich history of what we reviewers like to call "arcade style" basketball games.

Positives + Great arcade-style basketball + Fantastic roster of new players and legends

Negatives - Opponent AI is a bit too difficult; - Too few gameplay modes

From the start, it's clear NBA Playgrounds is attempting to recapture the magic of classic arcade sports games such as NBA Jam and NFL Blitz. You can perform gravity-defying stunts and use game-changing power-ups, all while playing as some of your favorite basketball players, but when the dust...

Over-the-top animations; Fun when it works; Fitting visual style

Not enough game modes; Unbalanced/unnecessary mechanics; Stats discourage trying new players

Talos 1 is a fantastic world to explore; and you're consistently rewarded for careful planning and strategy

Some major and minor technical issues bring the experience down a bit; and combat could get repetitive if you don't experiment

I sat there, probably for a good 10 minutes, making my final decision of Prey. A somewhat unexpected development, though not wholly unseen, given the hints the game has dropped since I stepped into the Talos I space suit of Morgan Yu.

These days, games like Prey seem few and far between. There's not one specific, unique mechanic promoted nor is there a grand overarching narrative that promises to tie you up for a trilogy.

Excellent sound design; Well-crafted space station; GLOO cannon is a good time

Load times are ridiculous; Combat is consistently frustrating; Main story arch is lacking
