NBA Street for PlayStation 2

Pros: Great street-ball. A must have for the PS2.
Cons: Lots of graphical issues, HUGE memory card load times, Joe The Show.

I saw this game at E3, and I knew this was the game I would have to have this year. I'm a huge baskeball fan, and I play a lot of pick-up games. I also enjoyed NBA Jam, but it had gotten a little old for me.

Along comes NBA Street from the...

Pros: Fast-paced gameplay, aggressive and stylish.
Cons: A few framerate problems, long load times and only up to 2-player support.

Sometimes I know I'll hate a game before I even play it. Then something like NBA Street comes along and makes me question everything I know.

I hated basketball. In fact, the only good thing I ever got out of basketball was a pair of Air...

Pros: Good graphics and animations, original trick-based gameplay, over-the-top style
Cons: Repetitive, ridiculously long memory card access times, lack of multitap support

When I first heard about NBA Street, I immediately assumed it was a Midway game. I mean, it sounded like the successor to NBA Jam or NBA Hoopz or whatever the series has become. Given that belief, the game didn't hold much interest for me. However, my...

Pros: a great basketball game
Cons: not a sports blayer

Several months ago my brother brought this home and ask me if he could play it on my PS2. I figured ...

Pros: Takashi
Cons: Will someone think of something new?

I pray for our future. When all was well with the economy and the Internet was going to make everything okay, things were right in world of the media. Salon.com was a free site, making it possible for me to be the hit of parties with my irregular...

Pros: Actually a fun Basketball game, brings back the classic JAM dunks
Cons: Joe "The Show" and lack of Create-a-player depth

I am not sure what it was. Maybe it was the lack of Blockbuster having Spy Hunter or ICO, maybe it was that I needed some culture, or maybe I was just tired. Something compelled me to rent a sports game that I had no interest in playing,...

Pros: Great Graphics and animation, responsive controls, trick system, replay value, Strategy
Cons: Insane loading times, No multi-tap function, more difficulty

The are several types of Basketball games made from NBA live and others but they always seem to lack the controls and graphics found in other sports games for the PSone and PS2. The problem is that most of these games lacked any kind replay value to keep...

Pros: Fast, furious and fun. Multiplayer. Easy
Cons: Lack of depth. One player . Too easy.

After receiving a £10-off voucher from my aunt, who obviously couldn’t think of anything else to contribute to my birthday, for a PS2 game of my choice, I trotted down to Electronic Boutiques without a clue of what I was going to buy. Ideally I...

Pros: NBA licensed, funky characters, lots of replay value, no slowdown.
Cons: Load times are very long, disappointing multiplayer, announcing wears thin.

I've played NBA Live, and I own both NBA Street and 2K2. Without a doubt Street was where most of my hours went into. It may come up short in several places (I'll get to that later), but not since the good old days of 2-D NBA Jam have I ever had this...

Pros: The tricks system and blocking and stealing the ball.
Cons: Defensive rebounding is impossible

I have been playing NBA Street since the day it came out. I didn't want to write a rushed review so I waited. I have over 70 games under my belt (I do have a life, the games are only around 5-10 minutes long) and I feel I can now write about the game in...

Pros: Fun, quick paced game, a multi-player blast.
Cons: Loading times, lasting appeal may be questionable.

As part of my PS2 rent-a-thon I recently came across this game and decided to give it a shot. I took the game with me on vacation with my family to let them try it with me so I could get some mulit-player feedback as well. I'm pleased to say that THIS...

Pros: The controls, the combos, the player models, and the create-a-player
Cons: The announcer

GRAPHICS:Street has some pretty cool graphics including the player models, the combos, and when you don‘t fake the funk on that nasty dunk. But some the graphics including the backgrounds, spectators, and the huge players hands are not quite what...

Pros: Hey, it was fun for a few days.
Cons: Not enough modes of gameplay

Upon seeing the NBA Street advertisement I knew I had to play this game. At first I was very impressed with it but after only a couple of weeks I became quickly bored of it, and now it just sits along with all my other "retired" games.

...

Pros: Lots of fun, best basketball game for PS2.
Cons: The one player game gets a little boring.

EA Sports BIG has had great success in coming up with SSX, SSX Tricky, and now NBA Street. For NBA Street, BIG has taken Midway's almost perfected sports-video game formula, and made lots of improvements.

You've probably gathered that NBA...

Pros: Man, this is my type of game.
Cons: Loading times...

"Could this be the And1 game I heard so much about?" Yes! This game is truly amazing. From the explosive dunks, to the killa "break yo ankles" crossovers, this game delivers variety!

I heard that there was a And1 game coming out. I...
