This game does a lot of really interesting things. Everything is totally dynamic and there are no "wrong answers". Any character can be sent on, any basketball game can be lost, and any combination of characters can work. The gameplay itself really grew on me as I got better at it. I think my biggest gripe is that it can be a little slow between basketball games (a lot of the same series of clicks/menus). I also didn't personally connect with the characters that much, which is important for a game that relies so heavily on writing. It's good, but for some reason just didn't quite click for me. As per usual, art and music are unparalleled.
