Reviews for All-American Basketball (#168)

Hey look it's a Basketball game from Led Zeppelin Games....no it isn't, it's that bloody International 5-a-side Soccer game just recycled to make it look like Basketball instead...yep that's right, it has the same graphics, the same sprites, the same colours, the same sound effects and even the same options. The gameplay is the same too...expect the ball bounces by itself when you run in a dribbling motion and instead of kicking the ball it leaps into the air as it would in Basketball...but because it's essentially a soccer game there is no animation for this...the ball just flies by itself. If this isn't lazy programming then explain to me what is?

Led Zeppelin Games were notorious for recycling game code to make new games, American 3D Pool and Championship 3D Snooker are the same, F1 Tornado, Q10 Tankbuster and Santa's Christmas Capers are the same, and now this and 5-a-Side Soccer are the same. So Basketball this ain't essentially...and now I feel so cheated...again!
