Basketbrawl
SCORE: 70
Basketbrawl reminds me of NBA JAM one year
before NBA JAM was released. Basketbrawl is an interesting Atari Lynx
video game. I am very thankful I had the money to purchase this hand
held video game on the Evercade system. I was able to get this game in a
compilation way with many other Atari Lynx video games way cheaper than
I could go and buy them on the Atari Lynx video game system.
We play a violent basketball video game in Basketbrawl. We can pick up
weapons, power ups and more in Basketbrawl. We can punch and kick when
we do not have the ball in Basketbrawl. One of the things I noticed
about this game is if you knock your opponent down you can go and score
multiple baskets in a row. You can probably guess what a good strategy
is in Basketbrawl to win. If not let me spell it out for you – knock
them down, and score a lot of points.
We can play with multiple players in Basketbrawl. They have four skills
in this game. The four skills in Basketbrawl are Power, Skill, Speed and
Life. There are four digit codes the players used to continue where they
last were in this hand held video game. After you win a game in
Basketbrawl then you get a score and a new code. There is also some
banter from the different opponents in Basketbrawl.
Basketbrawl looks way better than I was expecting for a hand held video
game. There is violent content in this sports video game. I guess
Basketbrawl is a sports video game even with the flagrant fouls that are
never called. We do still need to score more points than our opponent.
Even if we shank them with a knife. At times people from the sidelines
walk onto the court and start attacking players.
I enjoyed the music and gameplay of Basketbrawl. I did find myself
feeling a bit more aggressive after playing Basketbrawl on the Atari
Lynx and Evercade systems. I wish there was a better way to play against
another player in Basketbrawl. Maybe that will come in the future on the
Evercade home console system. If you like violent sports video games
then Basketbrawl could be for you.
