Takin' it to the Hoop
Double Dribble Jr.Genre: sports - basketball
Publisher: NEC
Year: 1989
System: TurboGrafx-16
Gameplay Score: 2
Gameplay Notes:
Plays a lot like Double Dribble. Drive to the hoop and jump to start a very simple and easy quick time event to dunk the ball. Jump shots never go in so dunks are the best bet. Then again opponents are so insanely aggressive that you're far more likely to be fouled or have the ball stolen. I played a full game and scored more than half my points from the free throw line. It's ridiculous and ruins what would otherwise be a pretty decent basketball game.
Level Design Score: 2
Level Design Notes:
All the usual modes.
Theme Score: 3
Theme Notes:
I like the idea. It's a very video gamey sports title No simulation going on here.
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
The regular view features cute sprites with huge heads. The QTE cutscenes are decidedly more macho looking so they don't quite fit but they look good. Again, it reminds me of Double Dribble.
Audio Score: 2
Audio Notes:
An ok song plays constantly. The generic video game sounds and not reminiscent of something you'd hear on a basketball court.
Overall Score: 43
