| NBA hooped again

NBA Action cn the
Sarurn

SURE, Sega climinared
30% of its work force. Yes,
Sega has a new system due
out in 1999, but current
Saturn owners have been
promised quality games
until then. To wits LH you
own a Sarum, there are sull
games tor you. If you're
thinking of buying a Saturn, wait!

Unni then, sports fans, here's yet
another basketball game. While NBA

Action excels at game play and the

trolling the bike, rather
than just the bike, se vou
can really dean into it, bear
down, fish cibor fall off
and tly into a chasm to
voor hearts content.
In faci, pulling stunts and
Wiping out is almost more
fun than winning save tor
the fact thar losers can't
move to the nev fevel.
Just like the “TruePhystes” of lite, J
suppose. As a Playstation staple, IM is
amust-have. Excellent rental. Great
purchase.

motion captured athletes are ceric in

their realism, the graphics pretty much

bite, ar least when compared to smi

games in the sports genre, However,
the sacrifice of look tor feel may be its

saving grace.

There is more strategy to basketball

Diddy Kong Racing on the Nintendo
lar 64
Diddy Kong Racing offers vet another
variation on the PhimberBoy World
theme.
A blatant mix of Mario World,

than I could figure our, with D-zone Mario Kart and a bit of Pilot Wings,

coverage options being pivotal and wav
beyond my comprehension. NBA fans
are sure to appreciate the complexity of
it all bur I just don’t get it. Besides,
Marv Albert is the announcer. "Nuff
said. Good rental. OK purchase.

Jet Moto 2 on the Playstation

Wahoo! The sequel to an awesome
game! Hop onto
your new and
improved all-rer-
rain jet ski and
prepare yourself
for some serious
insanity.
The original JM
racer didn’t real-
ly need a whole
lot of improve-
meat but there
is quite a bit just
the same. The

graphics are slicker, the tracks more

invigorating and the “bikes” a little

more tricked. It's the same old awe-

some-ness times two.

Thanks to “TruePhysics” technolo-

DKR offers a few enjoyable moments
of exploration, lots of harmless racing
fun and occasional goofy aerobatics
with your favorite stuffed toys come-to-
lite and through seme beautifully ren-
dered environments. A nice game,
nothing mean or insane about it.
Mulkti-player mode is invariably
more challenging, depending, of
course, on how challenged vour friends
are. But it’s just more kiddie fluff at its
finest. And who am F to knock it? DKR
has gone Platinum in Canada with
more than 100,000 copies sold. 3 find
it a silly little diety, bur consumers are
eating it up. Go figure. Great rental.
Purchase if vou must.
Who says cheaters never win?
DKR: Enter “jointventure” as a cheat
code for a two player adventure.
