A Different Kind of Shoot

7 10 2010

Freestyle is a shooting game online. For a break, we’re not going to be discussing about guns and the normal shooting talk that we do here but rather, we’ll be talking about another genre – casual sports. Freestyle is a street basketball game. You gain levels from playing just like a typical MMORPG. However, by leveling up, your attributes go to your avatar’s abilities like jumping, running, passing and stealing. This has a big difference with MMORPG. In games like Ragnarok or FlyFF, attributes go to stamina or vitality; strength or vigor; dexterity, luck and agility; and to similar status point allotment values. Contrary to the stressful atmosphere brought about by these MMORPG, Freestyle is a more friendly game. You do not compete and pawn each other in PVP like in Ragnarok. You do not spend long hours training by going to dungeons and killing monsters one at a time. Not much of time is required but the same level of enjoyment is experienced. This is one of the reasons why casual games like Freestyle are turning out to be successful.

The gameplay of Freestyle is simple. If you’re a fan of basketball games, then you should be able to understand how to get around this game. Same roles are there: centers, power forwards, and point guards. The game is pretty fun to play with, something worth playing especially when you got tired dealing with the strong impact of other games.

Massive multimedia online games have been running along the web building attachments to many gamers out there. It’s like a viral movement germinating addiction to every age group. JC Entertainment is a genius for developing a unique game that will cater to a different number of audiences. If you haven’t tried Freestyle, it is highly suggested that you should. A breath of fresh air from hardcore serious shooting games and RPG wouldn’t hurt.
