If you like your basketball arcade-style, take note: it just doesn't get any more arcade-style than Hangtime. The two-on-two action is extreme, as you choose two players from your favorite team and send them into high-flying, in-your-face basketball action. With better animation than any game of its kind, NBA Hangtime features hysterical, running play-by-play commentary to keep things comical. The players and stats have all been updated to reflect current lineups and trends, and each NBA team is represented. If the regular NBA guys are boring you, you can actually create your own player! Choose from a variety of body types and heads (they include animal faces and the likenesses of the game's designers), then give your player any attributes you think will give you an edge. The more games you win with your player, the more points you get, and the better you can make your player. Hangtime offers some great options, such as AI assistance, very effective power-ups, oversized heads, and lots of humorous codes to change the gameplay around. It might not look anything like real basketball, but Shaq just can't do a quadruple flip in real life.
