Perhaps it's the fact that we're English, and we don't really get on with basketball that well at the best of times, but this really does seem like a bit of a weak effort - even with the added bonus of being able to understand it all properly, having only played it on Japanese import previously.
Sham Dunk
The control system, at a first glance, seems to make great use of the touch screen. You move around the court using the D-Pad, and use the stylus for everything else - slashing horizontally to pass the ball, downwards to tackle, and upwards to shoot. You also use the touch screen to tap in a sequence to make special character-specific shots. For example, Wario's special move is made by tapping out five dots in a joining-the-dots 'W' shape, twice. This is all well and good, but it's such a faff to juggle the DS while you're trying to do it all that you'll likely end up using the buttons to control moves instead(which then leaves you without the ability to do special shots - gah).
