FreeStyle is an exciting game where you can put your basketball skills to the test by playing online against other users.
The interface is simple and user-friendly, though its graphics won't really impress you, unlike the ones of other basketball PC games that are on the market these days. You can easily adjust the game settings and select the view angle, the music and effects volume, the character controls and many other things.
In order to run the application, a good Internet connection and a personal account registration are required. Once you've finished filling the registration form, you will be able to create your own character by choosing its playing position and apparel. You can also acquire a new character when you earned enough points to afford one. You earn these points by winning challenges.
In the tutorial mode you will have access to plenty of useful hints on how to move your player, dribble, pass, block and many other actions. Once you finish viewing this tutorial, you can put your skills to the test by selecting a mission. If you complete your challenge you will gain experience and points.
You will also be able to play against other online users by simply selecting a league (Free Zone, Rookie, Major, Club) and the lobby you wish to enter, though you won't have access to Rookie, Major and Club league until you reach a certain level with your character.
This application will bring you a built-in instant messenger where you can chat with other users and invite them to join your game room.
A disadvantage of using this application is the fact that, whether you are running under the Single-player or Multiplayer mode, if your Internet connection is slow, the application will automatically close.
Cutting the long story short, it's worth trying Freestyle, an engaging basketball PC game where you can compete against other players from all over the world.
