Excellent take on Basket-Ball, sometimes is a bit cheap.
This game does alot right, the controls may seem dumb at first but they work, and as you play you get better at them, which is good!
The graphics are good on the DS, like all 3D games on the DS. And the players look great.
Theres plenty of playable characters and each have different skills. Speed, technical, tricky, all round, and strength. The levels look great too, plus different levels such as Donkey Kong's, have like barels rolling around or other obstacles. Then the level where Petey Pirahna is the net is kind of annoying, you have to time your shot whilst his mouth is open, and you can't dunk or he knocks you down.
And thats not the most annoying part, Bowser is. Bowser is apparently so strong he can do power shots and you can't knock him back whilst hes preparing it let alone can you get the ball off of him. Hes too strong, hes the final level to play, and you'd probably unlock him, but you'll need luck to win.
Cheap stuff aside this a fun game, and makes sports seem fun. (lol)
Mario fan with a DS? Then look into getting this game. Have a DS but don't need a new game, rent away!
