Sony Computer Entertainment America has just announced yet another PSP-exclusive title, NBA 10 The Inside. Though it’s rather unusual for sports titles not to go multiplatform, SCEA promises that this one will offer “the most diverse and feature-rich handheld NBA action available.”
Combining arcade and simulator styles of gameplay, NBA 10 The Inside features realistic player interaction at 60fps while adding fun mini-games to keep you hooked in the game.
Gameplay modes include:
- New Quest Modes
- DodgeQuest – Players will battle teams head-to-head in an attempt to take over the entire country while playing the Dodgeball mini-game. In-game power ups and player upgrades have also been added to the traditional Dodgeball mode for depth.
- Give&GoQuest – Players will face off on the Give & Go mini-game as they battle other cities and acquire players in an attempt to take over the entire country.
- MiniQuest – New Conquest mode lets players take over the entire country and choose from either Dodgeball, Conquest, Elimination, or Give & Go each time two cities battle one another.
- New Mini-Games
- Open Lanes – A traditional 10 frame bowling mini-game with an NBA look and feel.
- Cherry Pickin’ – A puzzle based mini-game where players shoot colored orbs that stick to the game board, which is made of additional colored orbs. The goal is to line up at least three orbs of the same color to remove them from the board. The overall objective is to clear out all orbs on the game board to proceed to the next level.
- Classics – Shootin’ Bricks, Block A Shot, Big Shooter, Pinball and more classic mini-games return in NBA 10 The Inside.
NBA 10 The Inside will also feature commentary from Kenny Smith, as well as play-by-play and in-depth analysis care of Ian Eagle. The game will be playable via Ad Hoc for wireless multiplayer gameplay for up to two PSPs, or via VLAN if you want to play with strangers online.
SCEA is tossing NBA 10 The Inside into store shelves on October 6th, 2009.
