And 1 : Streetball

And 1 : Streetball Description

Last seen on a virtual basketball court in 2002 with the Activision-published Street Hoops, Black Ops is back on the tarmac with And1 Streetball, brought to us this time around by Ubisoft. Some of the finer points of basketball weren't relevant to Street Hoops and - surprise, surprise! - And1 Streetball is a game in very much the same vein: impenetrable lingo, intrusive music, and physically improbable tricks and shots a go-go, despite the insistence that the game 'keeps it real'. Anyway, And1 Streetball is an amusing enough diversion for fans of the rim and onion bag. There's a Story mode in which you go on the And1 Mix Tape Tour - the world's premier streetball event, apparently - where your originality and ability to wow the crowds may help get your name mentioned in the same breath as true streetball legends such as The Professor and Hot Sauce (last year's Belgian Eurovision entry, we seem to recall...). Only joking! Being able to create your own player and your own signature moves is a neat touch, and customisation of games is welcome too. Half or full-court games are available, and you can choose anything from a one-on-one to a five vs. five battle on the tarmac. There's nothing like a little musical accompaniment while having some baggy-shorted herberts running rings around each other, and - joy of joys - And1 Streetball gets its DJ Kicks from almost all points of the compass: the eclectic mix of exclusive/unreleased hip-hop tracks represents various styles - West Coast, East Coast, and the Dirty South Crunk, each court coming with its own sound and flavour.

Step into the shoes of AND 1 players - Execute mesmerizing moves like Hot Sauce's killer crossovers, Helicopter's rim-bending dunks and The Professor's no-look passes.

Become the next AND 1 legend - Story mode allows you to experience the trials and exhilarations of getting signed to the AND 1 MixTape Team, as seen on ESPN. Dominate the Open Run, survive the hazing, and bring it home in the Final Game.

Revolutionary "Create-A-Move" editor - Build your own character and create your own signature moves using the AND 1 Create-a-Move editor, loaded with custom showboating, scoring and celebration moves.

Can you handle it? - School the competition with I-Ball Controls, an intuitive control system that gives you fluid and precise command over every offensive and defensive move. Not only will you do it, you will also feel it.

Run it how you want it - Play the game you want to play. Scale your teams anywhere between one-on-one to a full team of fives. Run a full-court game, or do a half-court battle - the choice is yours.

Heavy rotation - station identification - Music soundtrack features a loaded and customizable library of exclusive tracks from various regions. West Coast, East Coast, the Dirty South and more. Each court has its own sound and flavor.

Online multiplayer - Put your skills to the test against other top players as you showcase your own creative moves and strive to gain a reputation as the best.
