When's the last time you grabbed your basketball and dribbled in your living room? Maybe not recently or never, for that matter, but you'll be more inclined to do so later this year with a brand new video game called, NBA Baller Beats. Playing basketball in your home may have only applied to a video game and the controller, or possibly an indoor Basketball free throw game, but this upcoming game combines dribbling and music.
NBA Baller Beats challenges players using a REAL basketball to master ball-handling skills by dribbling and performing moves to the beats of an eclectic soundtrack. The game will come packaged with an official NBA game ball replica from Spalding, and it challenges players to time their dribble to the beat of each song and perform a variety of skill moves displayed on-screen to score points, earn achievements and unlock assets and additional gameplay. From novice to pro, every baller can raise their game with three difficulty levels available on every song: Rookie, Pro, and Baller.
NBA Baller Beats is innovative and definitely seems like a fun game; the younger gamers out there will be happy for the opportunity to cause a ruckus indoors. However, let's face it, it may not be the ideal game preferred by most parents. This is especially concerning gamers in urban housing complexes. (The neighbors won't be too happy!) This is a huge setback and honestly causes a bit of a downfall in the game already.
Nonetheless, this upcoming game shows promise and promotes a great deal of activeness.
Starting today, consumers who pre-order NBA Baller Beats at GameStop will receive a free assorted 3-pack of NBA Fathead 5x7 Tradeables featuring top NBA players, while supplies last. The peel and stick collectible graphics stick to almost any surface and can be reused or repositioned without losing adhesive. Click here to pre-order a copy of NBA Baller Beats.
The NBA Baller Beats and Spalding ball bundle will be available for the suggested retail price of $59.99 when it launches exclusively on Kinect for Xbox 360, on September 11.
