Have you ever been on the basketball court and gotten so frustrated that you wanted to just slam your opponent to the ground? If so, get yourself into therapy and then get your hands on ARCH RIVALS, because this is the game where you can do whatever you want on the court.

Get ready for a no-holds-barred game of basketball where the only rule is that there ARE no rules! Arch Rivals is a two-on-two arcade-style hoops game that features four fictional teams: Natural High, Brawl State, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Choose from eight players, each differing in ability, as you try to pick the best mix of defensive skill and offensive firepower. The cast of characters is as follows: the “crowd-pleaser” Blade, “tough and mean” Mohawk, All-American Reggie, “great player” Vinnie, top-shooter Lewis, rebound king Hammer, defensive specialist Tyrone, and “real champ” Moose.

Play involves moving up and down a horizontal view of the court as you try to outscore your opponent before the final buzzer sounds. Of course, if you have to punch a few characters in the process, so be it! Cinema cut-scenes appear after each shot, allowing you to see cheerleaders or the opponent's angry coach. Players will also have to watch out for the animated crowd in the background – sometimes they'll throw garbage onto the court to interfere with the action. Even the team mascot may get involved!

Arch Rivals is a conversion of the hit Midway arcade game.

Arch Rivals features:

• Basketball without the rules
• One or two players
• Pick your team from among a talented roster of players
• Show off your basketball skills and your brawling abilities
• Based on the arcade hit

There aren’t any rules in this brand of basketball, so anything goes and it will as you utilize your hoops skills as well as your body-slamming abilities to win the game and celebrate a victory. Of course, you’ll have to pass, shoot, rebound, and dribble, but you’ll also get the chance to knock your rival down, drop his shorts, and push him out of the way. This game isn’t for those primadonnas who rely on the referees to rescue them from their big, tall opponents; Arch Rivals is more aptly titled “basketbrawl”!
