The Great B-Ball Purge of 2041, a day so painful to some that it is referred to only as the "B-Ballnacht". Thousands upon thousands of the world's greatest ballers were massacred in a swath of violence and sports bigotry as the game was outlawed worldwide. The reason: the Chaos Dunk, a jam so powerful its mere existence threatens the balance of chaos and order. Among the few ballers and fans that survived the basketball genocide was Charles Barkley, the man capable of performing the "Verboten Jam"...

Flash forward 12 years to the post-cyberpocalyptic ruins of Neo New York, 2053. A Chaos Dunk rocks the island of Manhattan, killing 15 million. When the finger is put on the aging Charles Barkley, he must evade the capture of the B-Ball Removal Department, led by former friend and baller Michael Jordan, and disappear into the dangerous underground of the post-cyberpocalypse to clear his name and find out the mysterious truth behind the Chaos Dunk. Joined by allies along the way, including his son Hoopz, Barkley must face the dangers of a life he thought he gave up a long time ago and discover the secrets behind the terrorist organization B.L.O.O.D.M.O.S.E.S.

- Game fully playable in both English and Al Bhed.

- Riveting story that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. See the Post-Cyberpocalypse like you’ve never seen it before.

- Beautiful soundtrack composed by none other than Nobuo Uematsu exclusively for BSU&J:G!

- Block paragraphs about basketball monsters.

A tale of zaubers, b-balls, and atonement; brave dangers unheard of, face spectacular challenges that even the greatest ballers could not overcome, and maybe... just maybe... redeem basketball once and for all in:

<i>Tales of Game's Studios</i> Presents <b>Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden
Chapter 1 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGa</b>


This is seriously one of the funniest and best RPGs of 2008 so far. The storyline is absolutely goofy and satirical, it plays out just like a Final Fantasy game, except...it's about basketball. PLUS, the combat in the game isn't too stale. It's not just ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK. Like, really, give this game a try. You'll enjoy it, I promise.

    It wasn't banned for being a peaceful sport. It was banned for being the most violent sport in history.

    jokes stop being funny if you explain them, so if you don't find it funny, then we can't help you. It helps if you played SNES era RPGs and/or Shaq-Fu.

    tbh, the battle mechanics are a lot more fun than most FF games' mechanics were =d

    True that. One of the reasons it's a pretty good game, though buggy.

    Also, I'm always amused by the save points, because I know someone who's just like that (being a weeaboo and considering everything made in America inferior).

    They don't stop being funny when they're explained, and this doesn't need much explaining. It's a take on jRPGs via Basketball... it's the kind of humor you'd find in a bad movie like "Meet the Spartans."

    Except "Meet the Spartans" and its ilk milks every stupid little laugh it gets from cheap shots at pop culture, humor that won't be funny three months from now when it's not "relevant," if it can even be called that right now. Shut up and Jam is an absurd parody on a deeper level. It'll be just as funny in two years than it is right now. It doesn't hinge on the flavor of the month joke, it doesn't piggyback on the success or even simply the recognition of passing fads.

    What do you mean?! Making fun of Britney Spears being bald is the PINNACLE of timeless humor. Saying "You got served" will never go out of style ever never ever! I really can't get enough of that one youtube video either! Piggybacking on others success! Psh! That movie will be nothing but original jokes and clever parodies! I plan to see it multiple times!

    You internet people just can't understand <i>real</i> humor.

    Instead of the "flavor of the month" joke it plays on elements of stupid RPGs, great. It's the kinda of bland humor you'd find on SA.

    Now that you mention it there was that "evil jedi looking for redemption" in KOTOR 1 so I guess jerkish jedi lesbian has all ready been a playable class. Nothing new under the sun.
