Topic: Hoopworld Impressions Thread

Interested in hearing about this game from the brave souls who bought it before the review.

Got it instantly. Will be posting impressions, likely tomorrow at some point.

Cool, KS8, im looking foward to get this game but im waiting for reviews.

Dunno. Waiting for review

The trailer looked a little underwhelming to me. I guess I'm used to arcade-style basketball games having a sense of humor, like NBA Jam or the NBA Street games. Maybe there's some better OTT action not shown in the trailer?

Alright, I'll be typing up my impressions soon. Also did a video of footage for those interested.

Here are some quick impressions. Video coming really soon.

As always, thanks KS8

Nice impressions KnucklesSonic8! The game sounds pretty fun! I remember reading that this game was originally going to be an Xbox Live Arcade game but it ended up becoming a WiiWare game instead. I too am curious what type of DLC this game will have. More teams and courts perhaps? Well, I'm looking forward to seeing your video. Thanks!

Thanks WRH.

Here's the video I promised: http://bit.ly/d0vFod

the control scheme sounded a ilttle unfriendly. Raising both controlers to shoot??

It's not like you're bringing them over your head or anything. A quick jolt is all you need.

cool im gonna watch the video

Enjoy. Just in case you're worried, never had a problem with controls not registering.

Cool video KnucklesSonic8! I'm actually thinking about getting it now. It looks like a pretty decent WiiWare title. I'm getting an NBA Jam vibe from it. I have some questions about the game but I think I'll just wait for that forthcoming review on your site as well as the Nintendo Life review.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. I can do more footage if people want it.

If you're feeling impatient, I can answer any questions you have.

Is it too easy to score and to beat the AI? I saw a lot of 3 points in the video, NBA Jam used to be a little harder to get the 3 points right.

No, it's not. For one, I was on Normal Difficulty. Second, the first few good shots were because of a power-up which greatly increases the possibility of your shot sinking in. In the match before the one shown in the vid, I had more trouble landing 3 Pointers.

If NBA Jam wasn't coming out I think I would be more interested in this game but since it is all this does is make me want NBA Jam more.

I almost forgot about this game but I am definitely still interested in it. I saw another gameplay video on YouTube and it looks really good. I would really like to read a review on it before I go and download it. Any word as to when we will be seeing some reviews posted? I'm really looking forward to hearing more about this game.
