Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden is definitely an RPG-lite. The streamlined control system should no doubt ease in even people off-put that a game revolving around a basketball player is presented as an RPG.įor those used to the genre, there’s no need to worry. That’s it, and surprisingly all you need. Guiding Sir Charles through the overhead screens is plenty easy-you’ve got your movement keys, a confim/check and cancel/run button, and menu button. In a way, the smartly-written dialogue is funnier because of the fact that it treats itself not as a parody, but simply as itself. Creator Tales of Games has done an exceptional job at crafting a world with its own rich mythology, one that has a lot of humor and even heart without being blatant about it. Whether they live in squalor now, in obscurity, as a robot or as an agent against their former brethren, one thing’s for sure: Basketball…is dead.īarkley Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden – Chapter 1 of the Hoopz Barkley Saga is a game that weaves ridiculous, perhaps asinine concepts such as this together with many others to create a believable future that takes itself quite seriously despite the subject matter. Set in the “post-cyberpocalypse” of Neo New York, a world destroyed by the awesome power of the Chaos Dunk, he and his son Hoopz eke out a miserable existence as some of the last ballers alive after the Great B-Ball Purge, an event that saw to the death of most of the basketball players in the world. This man is none other than Sir Charles Barkley.

In a world where ballin’ is against the law, one man stands up for what is right. Seriously, that's crazy (kinda, but makes sense if you've played the game).
