So I finally got to play the game and man I love it. The game is so way out of basketball rules tough. The controls are all with buttons even tough you can shoot balls with the touch screen but I prefer it buttons. However for the power shots you will need the touch screen and to make a power shot you need to tap the screen and create the first letter of that character's name you are using. It sound pretty tricky but there is a practice mode where you can try every character and I already guessed Luigi with the L without even practicing. But to do that you also need a mushroom. Which comes the next element of the game. While you play they will be blocks pasted on the floor moving around that contain items and most of them coins. Items include lightning, red and green shells, bananas pretty much mario kart stuff. Plus they also have coins that the more you collect before shooting the ball the more points you will get. In normal basketball is 2 points for being close and 3 points for more far shot well in here they add a 0. It's 20 points and 30 points. Sounds weird but I really like it at the same time because it made me kick the cpu's butt so badly. 323 points me and the cpu 88. But that's just the normal mode so things will probably get tougher in hard mode cups. So is it a buy or rent only? I think that it does indeed worth buying if you really like mario sports titles. It offers a really nice basketball gameplay, big rooster of characters, spectacular graphics some of the best I seen on the DS and is overall a really great package.
