NBA The Run

Hardcore Gamer Cory Wells

NBA THE RUN aims to bring the nostalgia of NBA Street to modern gamers with a battle royale twist. But does it deliver or fall flat?

NBA The Run is too barebones to wholeheartedly recommend, but there’s a great game of basketball waiting for you if you don’t mind only playing online matches.

Once upon a time, it was NBA Jam, later NBA Street and NBA Playgrounds, and currently NBA The Run is trying to break through on concrete basketball courts with crazy dunks.

NBA The Run offers some fun, but beyond the same tournament, a purely online structure, and limited game modes, there's little to do if you're looking for more.

The foundation is here for NBA The Run to become its own legend in the streets for years to come, Play By Play Studios just needs to spend some time giving the game more character and depth for it to get its legend status.

NBA The Run is decently paced and visually striking. It also forces an online-only connection, suffers from poor camera angle choices, and is an immense progression grind.

Street basketball returns to consoles, but not in the way we expected, bringing many available stars but few game modes.

NBA The Run has the DNA of the insane NBA Jam, but drops the ball too often to leave a lasting impression. Read the review now!

4.5/10

NBA THE RUN isn't a complete disaster, as there are moments of genuine fun, especially with friends, but they're too few and too far between to make up for the repetitive gameplay and lack of content.
