This game is stupid as hell, in both good and bad ways. My favorite thing about it is the sheer absurdity of it all, in which Michael Jordan has to rescue teammates from a mad scientist who plans to make his own basketball team with clones of them. You attack with your ball, but you can also get powerup balls that freeze or home in on enemies for example. But also, it's very exploration based (not inherently bad ofc, but), levels are massive, and actually finding the teammates is a lot more difficult than you'd expect. This makes for a rather tedious experience, and the strangely murky and drab environments don't help at all. Why are they so sad? You'd think with a game so silly in every other regard that it'd be bright and colorful, no? Only the train levels have any semblance of life to them, and they only serve as intermission between worlds. It sounds like a minor complaint, but for a 4 hour game you'd be wishing they breathed some more life into it too.

The product placement is really goofy as well. All the health items are Wheaties and Gatorade, and in case you can't tell from the sprites, their logos are also written above the scoreboard at the end of every level. It reminds me of like, those dinky PC games you would find in your cereal box sometimes if you got lucky.
