Description: Become the superstar you’ve always wanted to be in an immersive basketball experience like nothing else before. Drain deep threes, dunk from anywhere, swat away shots, catch soaring alley-oops. Are you ready to become the chosen one?

Review: On paper ‘JAM GODS’ sounds like a pretty good idea for a game. It’s basically VR basketball with rag-doll style physics. IT should have been difficult, but fun, a little bit of cheap silliness to enjoy. What you end up with is a game that is NOTHING short of unplayable. Sure, it only costs £0.79 ($0.99) but from the moment you start to play the game you realise you ain’t gonna LOL here, you will only end up rage quitting.

The good news is the developer admits that the game probably shouldn’t have been released in the state it is currently in, but yet here we are. At the end of the day it is a small price to try it for yourself and who knows, maybe someone else will enjoy it a lot more than I did, but I won’t be recommending this any time soon.
