Basketbrawl

Long before NBA Street and NBA Jam there were games like Basketbrawl and Arch Rivals. Unfortunately neither of these games was very good, as is demonstrated by this tragic Lynx port of Basketbrawl. That's not to say that they don't have potential, I love the idea of punching your opponents, but when the play control is this bad it makes you question why you're even playing. To make matters worse Basketbrawl is limited by the options and teams, something that just doesn't work in a sports game. But hey, what do I know? Perhaps you should just go ahead and check out John Huxley's full review of Basketbrawl for the Atari Lynx!
