DESC: you want realism, pick up a basketball and head to the gym. Thumbing its nose at b-ball sims, Midway (the company responsible for the insane action in NFL Blitz) has created an aggressive two-on-two basketball game that delivers true above-the-rim arcade action. Unlike other games that toss in a flimsy arcade mode as an afterthought, Showtime has its roots firmly planted in the fantasy world of unrealistic play and poor sportsmanship. The resulting hardwood action is crammed with jaw-dropping dunks, humiliating rejections and -- occasionally -- even a pass.Since NBA Showtime functions as a two-on-two game even in single-player mode, it's the perfect match for multiplayer gaming. Four players can stuff the ball down each others' throats without a computer-controlled character ever touching the ball. Like the upright arcade machine, Showtime on Nintendo 64 keeps track of a wide variety of statistics.
