Just Hoops (VR) review

PULL UP to a version of pop-a-shot that you absolutely must experience

Arcades are great. Everybody of a certain age has a core memory that was born in one. Arcades aren’t completely dead, either — your local theater or bowling alley probably has a couple of things floating around. Maybe there are some ticket games at the Shakey’s Pizza.

But what I have always felt is the unsung hero of the true arcade experience is the pop-a-shot. A hoop, a ball return ramp, and dream of greatness. Just Hoops is a VR game that does an incredible job at bringing that experience home in a compact way complete with mixed reality on Quest 3 so you can yell “Kobe!” while throwing up another brick from the comfort of your own backyard or one of your kids boring pee wee sports games.
