FreeStyle Online Preview

Filed in archive MMORPG on January 4, 2007

Looking for a massively multiplayer online street basketball game? Then freestyle Online may just be what youre looking for. Gamespy has a preview up for the game and they were rather pleased with what they saw.

FreeStyle focuses on street basketball: that means a loose interpretation of the rules and no slowing down for fouls. In the games we've played, teams play half-court b-ball in matches of either 1-on-1, 2-on-2, or 3-on-3. Players create a character to represent themselves, with a huge array of clothes, hairstyles, and even tattoos to use to customize their avatar.

I had the opportunity to play the game on its asian release and i must say i liked the game a lot. The only problem was the community was very immature and the lag was horrible. But i had a blast playing with friends, since basketball is a team sport it pays to have a good relationship with your teammates. The art style may not be cutting edge but it has a certain charm to it. Play Freestyle with friends and im sure youre gonna have a great time.
