There’s no question that NBA 2K has become the gold standard when it comes to basketball simulators, raising the bar year-after-year with great modes such as ‘My Career’ and ‘My GM’ that allows fans of not only the sport but also the league experience to fashion their own careers. Where this franchise has made its money, though, is on the hardwood with its almost flawless mechanics. The question on most fans’ minds coming into NBA 2K15, however, is how developer Visual Concepts can possibly improve on last year’s excellent entry? Well, much like the San Antonio Spurs, the association’s most recent champions, you will not be wowed by any of the flashy additions to this instalment – but it’s the fantastic fundamentals that once again score a slam dunk for this consistent series.
To describe Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed as a simple action role-playing game would do it a disservice – a bit like describing a vampire as a mere blood gulper. The aforementioned nocturnal beast has gone through several iterations over the years, ranging from fear inducing monsters through to promiscuous teenagers – but if this scale is to represent the spectrum on which Japanese developer Acquire’s latest sits, it would definitely land on the more seductive side of things. Indeed, this is a game in which you must undress your foes in order to defeat them – a premise which, when combined with a hearty helping of Eastern culture and electro music, is hard to resist.
