Video Footage of the Game As you can see, there are some spectacular shots as well as some breaking points in this game. In order to study the finer details behind this game and and share with everybody, we have broken up parts of the game into a few different challenges, with awarding and bonus points assigned to each (max points: 32). Try and study them as much as you can. If you can do a shot and share with everyone via video online, then you have earned the points.
