NBA Baller Beats is an interesting game. It was designed of course to make you a better “baller,” but in the process you’ll find yourself having a lot of fun. As a veteran of past music genre games from Rez to Rock Band to Dance Central, I’ve grown extremely tired of the genre despite the number of quality offerings available. I decided to pick this up, simply for my love of sports and to see if the Kinect could properly track a basketball (an expensive risk I’ll admit).I can safely say that this is the best motion sports game I’ve played and I’m not even a hardcore basketball fan (although I do believe you have to at least LIKE the sport to enjoy this game). This is a game that rewards real skill and also builds skills if you are a novice (like I am). I have found that in the week or so of having the game that my handling skills have greatly improved and I’m able to dribble between my legs, do crossovers, and dribble without needing to look at the ball. Now I have played basketball years ago back in my middle school days but I haven’t really played outside of a game or two on a playground a year since.For those that do not know exactly what this game, I’ll try to explain it the best I can. Basically you are given a real basketball (it comes with the game but you can use any round bouncing ball if you wish) and you are challenged to dribble to a string of notes that come down ala Guitar Hero. You dribble to the rhythm of music and perform various moves to increase you.
Gave this to my son for Christmas and I don’t think he has stopped playing. Even my younger daughter is into it. Teaches some good ball handling and coordination.
I was surprised how well this game works. When I have friends over and show it to them they are pretty amazed at the concept.You have to know what you are getting yourself into though. This game will not work anywhere that you can’t comfortably dribble around a basketball. You need to be on a solid floor on ground level.I did minus one star because of some of the features. I’m about 5’10. I have almost an ‘idea’ place to play, but when they have moves like ‘jumping pump fake’ I can’t do it without hitting my ceiling. Also, some of the moves on the game like ‘pass’ or ‘pump fake’ can be done interchangeably in real life, but the game’s sensors aren’t accurate enough to differentiate between the two. Another example would be dribbling between your legs, and dribbling between your legs backwards. The Kinect and game software have a hard time recognizing the difference.Anyways, this game is really cool and will increase your handles if you play it often.
This was a gift for a 12 year old, and he was excited about it, and couldn’t wait to hook it up.
Challenging, it seems the sky’s the limit on how good you can get! Very impressed with XBox kinect on this game – as well as others.
good
This is a great game for anyone about 6 and up who has decent coordination. I am not a basketball player and my skills are terrible. I do play and coach a lot of soccer, and my kids (7 year old boy and 11 year old girl) play a lot of soccer and are very good. But my wife, who played basketball insists that my kids play at least one season of basketball every winter (the other season is dedicated to indoor soccer).It has been painful at times for me to watch my kids go from being either the best or one of the best on a soccer field to being one of the weaker players at basketball. They simply haven’t had much interest in practicing basketball (even during basketball season my kids tend to play soccer with me on days they don’t have basketball practice).However, being the fair minded parent that I am, I pointed this game out to my wife and suggested we get it for the kinect. We got the Nike+ workout game for christmas and my kids have actually enjoyed it. She was skeptical at first (concerns included: (1)you’ll break the TV; (2) it will be too hard for them; (3) there’s no way it would actually teach them anything useful), but eventually I won her over and we got this game a week ago.After one week, my kids love the game and their skills have increased dramatically. The first few songs they were lucky to get one star and the ball rolled around on the floor quite a bit. They both felt that it was slightly easier than guitar hero for them to learn. We limit their “screen time” to.
Excellent product. Very responsive to the ball movement. I don’t care about becoming a basketball player, but this game gets me and my kids off the couch. Kids can get pretty competitive.Luckily we have plenty of space in the basement. Next summer, I’m thinking portable projector and put it in the back yard (cement pad). It should be fun to call some kids from the neighborhood to play.Let’s hope they come up with more innovative kinetic games. So far, this one is a winner.
We can all debate whether NBA Baller Beats teaches real moves on the court (not sure when you’re going to perform a Backward Hopkins in a game), but there is absolutely one skill it trains you on… Keeping your eyes off the ball when you’re dribbling. Other than the skill of scoring, I don’t think there’s a more valuable skill than dribbling the ball effectively. There’s no way you can dribble effectively if you keep your eyes on the ball, because defenders will be on you so quickly if you don’t watch them all the time (much less find the open teammate).Before NBA Baller Beats, you can try to learn the dribbling skill in real games if your teammates let you. Of course, people who play basketball are competitive so you’ll likely not going to have that much of a chance if you start turning the ball over. Or you can bore yourself by dribbling in an empty court. Baller Beats allows you to practice in a fun, non-hostile (competitive) environment.If you use the game in a carpeted room, buy one of those bouncier kick-balls at the toy department. It’s a little smaller than a regular basketball, but will bounce like one on carpet and create less noise for your downstairs neighbors. A real basketball can’t bounce on carpet well. I wish you could buy more songs or more skill moves, but I heard the game hasn’t sold as well as expected.
I was skeptical of two things, would it really help dribbling skills and would my daughters like it? The answer is a resounding YES on both questions. For those who haven’t seen the product, it is like Guitar Hero with a basketball. There are two "lanes" coming at you and you dribble when the ball hits the bottom of the lane. There are additional moves like crossover dribble, through the legs, etc. The really cool thing is your kids almost instantly learn to dribble with their heads up! No more looking at the ball while dribbling. It took my 6th grader a little longer to warm up to the game, but now she is a fan too! Absolutely no regrets and would highly recommend this for any family with basketball players.

It seems that Kinect developers are either unable or unwilling to take chances. Most Kinect games seem to follow the same basic patterns–you dance, you pose in a certain position, you run in place, you pretend to turn an imaginary steering wheel, and so on.I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first heard of Majesco’s NBA Baller Beats. But after playing it, I can honestly say it is one of the best Kinect games to date.The best way to describe NBA Baller Beats is that it’s like Dance Dance Revolution or Guitar Hero, but using a basketball. You basically do basketball drills to a beat. This may sound ridiculous, even sacrilegious to some, but I found it to be a wonderfully compelling game that can appeal to both kids who are just starting out with basketball, as well as experienced ball handlers who want to hone their skills.Majesco has done a lot to make the point that this is a game that hard-core basketball players can enjoy. It comes bundled with an official full-size Spalding NBA Game Ball Series Outdoor ball (worth about $20 in itself). This isn’t a toy–this is an official NBA size and weight rubber ball that you can take out to the court. In fact, the ball was so real that I couldn’t use it in my third-floor apartment without the neighbors downstairs thinking there was an earthquake (in order to write this review, I ended up replacing the basketball with a playground ball which didn’t work quite as well but did give me a good feel for the game).When you start playing Bal.

this game is finally something that will have a positive effect on your non gaming life. coming with a spalding ball makes life easy for you(you can also use the ball on the real court). the game is loads of fun as it caters to all different levels of ballers. make sure you have enough room around your xbox area or this will not be a pretty sight if you are a parent as you watch your son mis-handle the ball going flying into your grandmothers vase. the kinect picks up every small move as you dribble to the finest tunes from kanye west and others.overall this is a must have-especially if you want to give an original holiday item to your jordan wanna be.

I took a chance on this game because I love playing basketball and NBA Baller Beats was at a great price. After playing it for a few hours, I must say that it’s extremely fun but it is somewhat difficult to pick up and play. Some of the moves aren’t properly explained and the advanced moves are way too difficult to perform, especially if you’re limited in space like me (Kinect sensor from my area of play is a maximum of 7 1/2 feet away).Overall, I would still recommend this game because it features good music, it makes your active, and I felt that my handling skills have improved, especially my off hand(left). Keep in mind I didn’t use the ball that came with it because it’s rubber and a bit cheap. Since I play basketball regularly, I used my Nike Elite Basketball (http://www.retrolio.com/Nike-Mens-Elite-Championship-Basketball/dp/B002QAGZC4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1357179828&sr=8-1&keywords=Nike+Elite+Basketball)

2 of my grandchildren play basketball and bought this for the xbox kinnect they set it up in the garage to try it out said it was fun and a real workout

Could not wait to get this ever since I saw it was coming out. Both my kids are avid Basketball players and thought this would really be fun and improve their game. I can already tell it will. You have to dribble with your head up…100% of the time, look down and your are going to miss something. I am also VERY impressed with the Kinects ability to tell which hand you are dribbling with, and dont even try to get away with trying to fool the Kinect into believing your crossover was a behind the back dribble…it knows! The Kinect can tell if you are doing the trick correctly almost 100% of the time.The game has 3 difficulties (rookie, pro and baller) and you try to time your dribble to the beat with either your right or left hand. Staggered throughout there are also ‘tricks’ in between dribble beats that you must perform to get multipliers. The tricks on rookie are limited to crossovers/around the world,dribble under leg/pump fake and side pass. Rookie mode is a great warmup, I find Pro to be quite challenging and fun. There are 30ish tracks and none available yet for download, but I hope some are coming soon. As long as new tracks keep coming, this game will be in heavy rotation in our house!FYI- the ball they give you is not ideal, very ‘bouncy’ and difficult to control. I thought the ball originally had some sensor or something, but actually you can use any ball. We use my son’s evolution ball and it works great, but any ball would do.

Very good for practice basic skill at home

This is a great game and I really hope more like it start appearing on the market for use with the Kinnect. It can be really high energy, the music selection is decent, a bit heavy on the hip hop side though…some slower tracks as well.PROS: easy to pick up quickly, variety of scenarios, variety of movesCONS: doesnt work well on carpet really…better for hardwood floors
