A number of mobile games that have tried to provide a solid gaming experience for basketball fans but with mixed results. Real Basketball is a basketball game that promises to offer a realistic gaming experience for its users. Developed by Casual Monster, let us see if the game can walk the talk or not.

You would need to sign up using your Google Games profile to get started with the app. The app's interface is interactive and well designed and gives a cool vibe without a doubt. The app's homepage introduces to the main attractions of the game right away. There are two gaming modes i.e. Single player and online multiplayer. Other than the gaming modes, you can look at the app's store for unlocked basketballs and jerseys while you can also see your trophy cabinet for the medals that you have earned while playing the game. You can also look at the online leaderboards in different gaming modes while you can also manage the game settings in order to change sound effects, music, graphics quality etc.

When you start a single player game, you are offered the option of a tutorial to get started. This is great as the tutorial teaches you the controls and how you can effective score points during the actual game. The tutorial teaches you how to put the basketball in the air towards the basket and how to dodge opposition players before taking your try at scoring a few points. The tutorial is interactive and provides you with all the information needed to play the game.
The single player mode has six gaming modes in total. The Tournament gaming mode is where you are provided different levels with each level requiring you to score a certain number of points within a time limit. The Arcade gaming mode of the basketball game gives you five basketballs with each missed try leading to a loss of one basketball. The Time Attack gaming mode gives you a certain time and you need to score as many points as possible during that time duration. The Single Ball mode is similar to the arcade mode but you only get one ball here and if you miss any of your shots, the game is essentially over. There are also two other gaming modes called "All-Star" and "Block" but both are only available in the VIP version of the app.

The online multiplayer gaming mode is where there is also an opponent present and both of you take shots at the same time and whoever scores the highest points within the given time duration wins. You require in-game currency to start any game with an online player and there are a number of different modes available. You can play Amateur, Semi-Pro, Professional, Champions and Superstar games with each having Easy and Hard difficulty modes. As you take a try at the more advanced modes, the in-game currency to enroll would rise and the reward would rise even higher.
The basketball game's graphics are solid with the basketball trajectory and the player jumps very clear. The physics in the game is solid too with ball flight depending on how high you throw while the distance the ball covers depending on the force you apply. The gameplay is nice and usually driven by time and therefore, you have to be fast and accurate to win the game.
The only irritating bit about the game are the constant ads after each game as they can become unbearable after a while.
