Unlike the two online games that are previously mentioned (Cabal and Flyff), this time, the Freestyle online game is more of being an MMOFPS (massively multiplayer online first-person shooting game) rather than an MMORPG.

More popularly known as the Freestyle Street Basketball (Online), the game is developed by JC Entertainment and published by Sierra Online. PC – online can serve as its platform and the genre of the game is also identified as online sports. It was released only last year, specifically in May 15, 2007.
