It's only 2-on-2 ball, so mechanics are simple: action (shoot, or steal), pass, and jump (which is also block). Most actions are contextual based. If you have the ball, it's "shoot". If you don't, it's "steal".
Controls are pretty responsive, and you motions are quite fluid. Graphics aren't 3D, but the 2D graphics are quite good, very clear and nicely animated, complete with spin moves, dunks, and much more. I have the LG Vx9900 enV, with the large screen, so the action fills up the screen, which helps a LOT, as you can see more than just a tiny piece of the court.
Everybody can dunk... By moving about, shooting, and filling up the slam meter (which recharges). When the slam meter fills, a "slam" icon appears on the playing field. Move the player with the ball to it (before it disappears), then press a series of buttons up/down/left/right like "Dance Dance Revolution", and you can do a slam. Not that it gets you extra points...
You can do a quick game (your "home team" that you picked against a random team), a regular game (your home team against a team you picked), or a challenge, which is the "campaign", where you have to beat a series of teams in order to unlock the legendary NBA duos.
All in all, I am NOT that much of a fan of action games, esp. sports games which relies too much on speed and hand-eye coordination, and NBA 2-on-2 slam is no exception. It seems to be a very competent game that does what it does well enough, without making you decide on too many things.
I'll give it a 7.50, but that's about it.
