Game Review

TV Sports Basketball is the second game in the tv-style sports simulations series created by Cinemaware.

The game was created for the Amiga and then ported to MS-DOS. Following the example of TV Sports: Football, released one year before, Basketball adopts the same style, with different camera angles, change of view depending on the ball's position, cutscenes, crowd sounds, announcer's previews, and more. It's really like watching a basketball match on TV.

But it's not just about the presentation and atmosphere. TV Sports Basketball is one of the best sports games made for the Amiga, with plenty of stats, available moves, and options. You can decide to control your favorite player or follow the one with the ball. Choosing when to pass or shoot is fundamental because the defense will try to block or steal the ball. You will have to decide the best times to substitute players because sometimes players from the bench will allow you to win, just like in real life. You can edit all your athlete's attributes and create your custom teams. Stats influence the performance, for example, the shoots' accuracy, but there is just enough randomness to make things fun and challenging.

Great graphics, dynamic sounds, and excellent gameplay make this game an all-time favorite. If you liked this, don't forget to check TV Sports: Boxing, the third chapter of the series.
