Based on the movie of the same name, Space Jam centres around an invasion of Looney Tunes land by tiny aliens. The fate of the Tunes is to be decided by a basketball game, and for this the aliens turn into the huge, evil Monstars. The game is about two thirds basketball sim and then minigames are stuck in to fill all the gaps. You can play as the Monstars or the Looney Tunes who have the help of Michael Jordan. The basketball games themselves come in two flavours, two-on-two and three-on-three. It's the ultimate pick-up game with Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, and Lola Bunny vs. a mean team of outlandish alien Monstars! In this is match of intergalactic hoops, the Looney Tunes recruit retired NBA star Michael Jordan to help win a match that could spell their livelihood if they lose against the Monstars.
