One of the most addicting games to
play in the arcade is the Arcade Basketball Game. It is a game where players get
a limited amount of time to make the most points as possible. To make the game
more challenging, there is another setting that allows the backboard to move
farther away making those points worth more. They are also harder to score.
Every time we went to the arcade, my friends and I would challenge each other to
see who can make the most points. It was only a matter of time before this quick
and fun gameplay was ported over to the Apple iPhone.
As stated before, this is a simple
arcade basketball game. In this current version there are only two options
available: classic and progressive. In classic game, players have 45 seconds to
score as many baskets as possible. In progressive game, players will have 99
seconds to score. However, the backboard will move back and forth making the
shots a lot more challenging. After players complete their game and if they made
it to the top 10, players will be taken to a score board to input their name.
The controls for this game are very
easy. Players put their fingers on the touch screen to grab a ball and then
flick/move their finger upwards toward to goal. The basketball will go in
depending on the amount of force and angle they can flick the ball. The game is
very addictive to play, and will have players constantly trying to top their
previous scores. This is a great game to play on the go because they can get a
few quick games completed in less than a few minutes.
The visuals for this game are pretty
good and crisp. Players will like how the balls move realistically depending on
how much force they use to shoot the ball with. The music for this game is
decent, and has three different soundtracks to try. The bad thing is, after a
while, players will get annoyed with all three soundtracks and sound effects so
they will mute them.
Arcade Hoops Basketball can be
purchased on the iTunes App store for $1.99

for this game.

The graphics are crisp and clean.
Sound: 6.5
The music and sound effects will get annoying quickly.
Difficulty: Easy
Concept: 8.0
I am surprised that this game hasn’t been done already.
Overall: 8.6
I personally think the price for this game should hover around $0.99 cents
instead of $1.99 since there is really only two modes to play. Even though this
is the case, Arcade Hoops Basketball is a great game to play and will have
players addicted for a long time.
