EA and Nike make game advertising fun
In-game advertising goes all-out in NBA Street: Homecourt (PS3, Xbox 360) as EA and Nike have teamed up to bring you ads which do more than just annoy the casual gamer.
In Homecourt, created players can now be draped in authentic Nike gear to provide more than just aesthetics. The shoes actually boost up the experience gained by your created baller so you can raise your stats faster and own the playgrounds faster than you can say “Air Jordan.”
Included in the extensive list of footwear is the entire Jordan series, from the brightly colored Air Jordan I’s, the VII’s that His Airness wore in the Barcelona Olympics to the freshly-released Air Jordan XXII’s.
Aside from the shoes, real-life courts which saw the likes of Rip Hamilton and Carmelo Anthony grow to stardom are unlockable, but the legendary Rucker Park in Harlem has got to be the crown jewel of the bunch, and you can download it for free. Here are some of the game’s goodies:
- The GOAT – UNLOCKED
- Dirt Bowl – UNLOCKED
- Hometown Park – UNLOCKED
- Venice Beach – UNLOCKED
- Franklin Park – UNLOCKED
- Cloverdale – LOCKED (Unlocked in Homecourt Challenge)
- Rupert Bell Rec Center – LOCKED (Unlocked in Homecourt Challenge)
- Ash Park – LOCKED (Unlocked in Homecourt Challenge)
- Brand Jordan Gym – LOCKED (Unlocked in Homecourt Challenge)
- Hometown Gym – LOCKED (Unlocked in Homecourt Challenge)
All in all, the addition of the Nike gear, the deep customization options and the fast, arcade-style play should give Xbox 360 hoop fans a good fix of hardcourt action.
