+ | ==Gameplay== | ||
+ | Like its predecessor, the game is an arcade-style two-on-two basketball game in the style of ''[[NBA Jam]]'' except based on street basketball. Players can choose from ten "streetwise" players, not including [[wikipedia:Charles Barkley|Charles Barkley]] himself, who appears only as an opponent this time. Players compete in eight different urban environments. There is no shot clock and no fouls except goaltending. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Players are moved around the court with the D-Pad. Players have a "juice bar," which increases when they make a three-points shot or super jam, knock over an opponent, gain possession, intercept a pass, or block a dunk. The juice bar decreases when a pass is intercepted, the ball is stolen, or a dunk is blocked. The abilities of players, such as their speed, the accuracy of their shots, and their ability to steal or rebound, improve when their juice bars are longer. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Players can play an exhibition match or a tournament. Exhibition games can be played by one to four players; in two-player games, players can play on the same team or against each other. The player chooses a character to play (along with a teammate when playing with a computer), and the game takes place in a random location. The tournament mode can be played by one or two players (on the same team). Players choose their characters and play a series of games in eight cities against Charles Barkley and his teammate (which differs in each location). The game uses a [[battery backup]] to save tournament progress, as well as individual records such as triple doubles, total wins, and total losses. In all modes, matches can be timed (with quarters of 3 or 5 minutes) or played up to a certain number of points (21 or 50). | ||

Barkley Shut Up and Jam 2 is the sequel to Accolade's two-on-two basketball game Barkley Shut Up and Jam!, released exclusively in the US for the Sega Mega Drive in 1995. Unlike its predecessor, it was not released for the Super NES.
Contents
Gameplay
Like its predecessor, the game is an arcade-style two-on-two basketball game in the style of NBA Jam except based on street basketball. Players can choose from ten "streetwise" players, not including Charles Barkley himself, who appears only as an opponent this time. Players compete in eight different urban environments. There is no shot clock and no fouls except goaltending.
Players are moved around the court with the D-Pad. Players have a "juice bar," which increases when they make a three-points shot or super jam, knock over an opponent, gain possession, intercept a pass, or block a dunk. The juice bar decreases when a pass is intercepted, the ball is stolen, or a dunk is blocked. The abilities of players, such as their speed, the accuracy of their shots, and their ability to steal or rebound, improve when their juice bars are longer.
Players can play an exhibition match or a tournament. Exhibition games can be played by one to four players; in two-player games, players can play on the same team or against each other. The player chooses a character to play (along with a teammate when playing with a computer), and the game takes place in a random location. The tournament mode can be played by one or two players (on the same team). Players choose their characters and play a series of games in eight cities against Charles Barkley and his teammate (which differs in each location). The game uses a battery backup to save tournament progress, as well as individual records such as triple doubles, total wins, and total losses. In all modes, matches can be timed (with quarters of 3 or 5 minutes) or played up to a certain number of points (21 or 50).

In the Tournament mode, all games are played against "Sir Charles" Barkley and one of the following teammates:

Legacy
In 2021, both Barkley Shut Up and Jam! games were re-released for the Evercade retro gaming handheld by Piko Interactive as part of the Piko Interactive Collection 2. Since Piko does not hold the license to use the likeness of Charles Barkley, these versions were renamed to Hoops Shut Up and Jam and Hoops Shut Up and Jam 2, with Charles Barkley replaced by a player named "Joe Hoops."[2]
