Yo..
I have an idea for a game based around a sport. Not a real sport, although I'm sure if you looked hard enough you could find one it's close to...

Anyway, what would you concider a game based on a fake sport? The two possible genres that come to mind, are sport or action. Well, maybe strategy, depending on the kind of 'sport' you use...

I ask because I'm toying with an idea for such a game, just wondering what I could label it as. Mostly to satisfy my curiosity.

Oppinions?

I think it really depends on the game, and how you intend to market it. You need to decide how to label the game so that people can get a good image of what the game is like before trying it out.

well, Speed Ball 2: Brutal Deluxe was kinda of an invented sport, but it did look like hand ball

It was quite successfull, but mainly because it had killer graphics for the time (First game to have 'metal' looking armors etc)
