Description: Baskhead Training allows you to play basketball like never before: this time you’re not the player but the hoop! Balls will be flying at your head: catch as many as you can! Hoopmaster, your funny but rigorous coach, will be here to help. Progress through 20 levels, with increased difficulty, bonus balls and special effects. Are you up for the challenge? Baskhead Training perfectly uses the head tracking capabilities of your VR device to create a fresh, addictive gameplay. Your friends will also love watching you play!
Review: This game is not some all-out NBA basketball game, this is a fun, arcade/action style game in which you play the hoop! The idea of the game is you are the hoop (well your head is anyway) and you have to move into position to get the balls being constantly thrown at you into the hoop! With golden balls and several modes of gameplay, there is something here to keep most people busy for a few hours or so.
This version has a few different game modes like the challenge mode that is different to the original Baskhead, but it does have to be said that it is essentially the same game. If you loved the original game you should love this one, but only if you are willing to splash out another £5.59 to play the same thing yet again. Sure, there are extra things, but it still smells like a little bit of a cash grab.
