4.0 out of 5 stars MMORPG Basketball, May 30, 2007

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Freestyle Street Basketball (Video Game)

Pros:
+ NO MONTHLY FEE
+ Demo allows you to reach lvl 15 (max rookie) to get your friends hooked
+ Quick games (~5-7 min), possible to play in small increments
+ Laptop friendly (runs on anything that can run XP SP2)
+ Simple, but deep gameplay ; plenty of replay value
+ Zones to bracket characters of similar levels
+ Useful character/position game guides on the main website

Cons:
- Significant lag; even when sparsely populated
- Long load times for client (to check for updates, hacks)
- Many items not accessible without full version and money either through level limit or the need for bills (online money)
- Confusing passing scheme; with only 1 pass button there doesn't seem to be a way to pass precisely
- Tutorial is weak

Overall:
= Most people I see on the community play nice--they pass often and are team players with good etiquette. Extremely addictive when you find good teammates and have good chemistry. Demo version gives enough game to be fun. Full version gives you points + 3000 bills (and ability to buy more); $10 = 3000 bills (as of 05/30/07). No monthly fee makes this game a definate buy!

Sierra Online released this game to the North American public back in 2007 but they closed their servers a year after in late 2008!! so if you're planning to buy this game to play it (DON'T!) the servers are no longer working, you don't need to buy this game in order to play this game!

This game was released to the North American public once again on February 1st of 2009 by the Korean company Gamekiss, you can go to their page [] and download the game and play it for free! I repeat myself, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY THIS GAME!

I just recently bought it, just for collection and for memories sake.. since I played the Sierra version, I always wanted this box back when I played and since it's so cheap now, I wanted to buy it before they ended since they're not making them anymore of course.

Right now I'm currently playing the Gamekiss version, so if you're on planning on buying it to play the game DON'T! unless you're buying it like my just to have it like me.. but just a reminder, THE GAME WON'T WORK!

Remember if you want to play this game, you can do it on []
