Local multiplayer marks iPad release for NBA Jam

Dunk fest NBA Jam is now available for iPad, building on the version released for iPhone and iPod touch earlier this year with new features.

Chief among them is local multiplayer, which enables you to sync up with a buddy via local wi-fi or Bluetooth for head-to-head games.

The addition of multiplayer addresses the biggest complaint lodged against the original release, although it comes at a price. On iPad, NBA Jam costs twice as much as its little brother on iPhone and iPod touch.

Meanwhile, an update released today for the iPhone and iPod touch version introduces local multiplayer. As such, it's easier to recommend that cheaper version of the game over its more expensive iPad counterpart.

NBA Jam is available for iPad at a price of £5.99/$9.99; the iPhone and iPod touch version is available for £2.99/$4.99.
