Double Dribble - 5-on-5 (GB)

Double Dribble - 5-on-5 on Game Boy Color is a classic basketball title where players engage in thrilling 5-on-5 matches. The game focuses on fast-paced action, allowing players to control their entire team from offense to defense.

On offense, the primary goal is to score points by shooting the ball into the opponent's hoop. Players can pass the ball between teammates using the control buttons, executing strategic passes to create openings. Shooting is performed by pressing the corresponding button, with the timing of the press affecting the shot's accuracy. There are various types of shots, including regular jump shots, dunks (if close to the basket and an opportunity arises), or long-range three-pointers. The game's graphics, while limited on the GBC, still attempt to convey action sequences like dunks or shots with short cutscene animations.

Defensively, players need to prevent the opposing team from scoring. This involves moving players to block passing lanes, attempting to steal the ball, or jumping to block shots. Tight defensive strategy is key to securing victory. The game offers various teams for players to choose from, each potentially having unique characteristics.

Despite being a handheld version, Double Dribble - 5-on-5 retains the spirit of its arcade and console predecessors, delivering an authentic and enjoyable basketball experience for fans of the genre on Game Boy Color.
