Kinect Sports Season 2 Basketball Challenge Pack now available

The Kinect Sports Season 2 Basketball Challenge Pack has launched!

Available from the Xbox LIVE Marketplace, the Basketball Challenge Pack for Kinect Sports: Season Two offers three fast-paced activities and a raft of new achievements designed to hone your passing, shot timing and long-range basket skills: Alley-Oop Dreams, Shot Party and 3-Point Hero. All modes are playable solo or in multiplayer, Quick Play or Challenge Play.

The branding integration into the Kinect Sports: Season Two basketball DLC forms part of a broad-ranging sponsorship association between Microsoft and children’s charity Right To Play in 2012. This DLC inclusion is designed to be an advocacy initiative in raising awareness of Right To Play activities, both here in the UK as well as abroad.
