'AND 1 Streetball' (PS2/Xbox) Announced - Screens

by Rainier on May 17, 2005 @ 5:10 p.m. PDT

When you ball, you know you're not going to do some fancy 360 with 30 flips in the air and dunk from half-court. When you talk about playing streetball, you keep it real. You bring crowds to their feet by dropping shiny no-look dimes to your teammates. You go strong to the rack and bang on fools no matter how many try to stop you. And when you've got it all, you paint pictures on backboards by pinning your opponent's shots. But it's not until you showcase your own original moves and signature style on the world's toughest playgrounds that you get your name mentioned alongside Skip-To-My-Lou, AO, Hot Sauce, The Professor, and other streetball legends. We may speak the same language, but don't ever say it's the same game. AND 1 Streetball...true to the game.

“AND 1 Streetball will prove to be an impressive entry for Ubisoft into the sports video game market,” said Tony Kee, vice president of marketing for Ubisoft North America. “Working very closely with the AND 1 Mix Tape Tour players, we captured the essence of authentic street basketball and will bring a completely new and innovative approach to the basketball game genre.”

With unprecedented depth, freedom and control, AND 1 Streetball features the entire roster of sensational AND 1 Mix Tape Tour players such as AO, The Professor, Spyda and Pharmacist – each with their signature moves and look. AND 1 Streetball also gives you the power to create your own player and your own moves – so YOU can become the next streetball phenomenon.

The highly immersive Story mode puts you on the AND 1 Mix Tape Tour – the world’s premier streetball event, where originality and the ability to electrify the crowds will get your name mentioned alongside the streetball legends. But to become a legend in true AND 1 Mix Tape Tour fashion, you must continue to work on your skills and elevate your game every time you play.

Key Features Include:

· Experience Real Streetball
Step into the shoes of the AND 1 players to execute mesmerizing moves like Hot Sauce’s killer crossover, Helicopter’s rim-bending dunks, and The Professor’s no-look passes.

· A Basketball Game Revolution
Build your own character and create your own signature moves using AND 1’s revolutionary Create-a-Move editor, loaded with custom showboating, scoring, and celebration moves.

· Can You Handle It?

· Become the Next AND 1 Phenom
Story mode allows you to experience the trials and exhilarations of getting signed to the AND 1 Mix Tape Team, as seen on ESPN. Dominate the open run, survive the hazing, and bring it home in the final game, as seen on ESPN.

· Run It How You Want It
Play the game you want to play. Scale your teams anywhere between one-on-one to five-on-five. Run a full-court game, or do a half-court battle – the choice is yours.
