Imagine what games would look like if
some of the NBA's best stars called "next" at
the local playground. Forget team defense and don't bother
looking
for a scoreboard, "NBA Street" is all about
style.
This is regular three-on-three street basketball. Shots
inside the
three-point line count one point; outside shots are worth
two. The
winners must score 21 points plus be up by two. There are
no fouls, but there is a shot clock and a system that
keeps track of your trick moves. Flying dunks or steals
build up your team's gamebreaker meter. Once the meter is
full, you get a chance to score one special shot that adds
to your score while subtracting points from the other
team's.You can put stars like Michael Jordan on your team
and select players from an opponent's team once they've
been beaten. The hard part is learning all of the
complicated buttons and turbo triggers that give your guys
their power moves.The game also includes plenty of trash
talking and a soundtrack of hip-hop tunes.

Game play :
| Super cool trick
system, combinations of turbo buttons to do special
dribble and dunk moves. The gameplay is exaggerated for
sure, but it's still got a sense of realism. It seems like
an accurate portrayal of the street ball style of b-ballin,
except that you're allowed to goaltend. In street ball
games they will always call goal tending, so it was a
little strange to see it allowed in this game. But it
actually adds a certain flavor to the game style and the
way you play defense. You can leave a big man around the
hoop to try to block long range shots, but it's not so
easy and you can easily get burned if you stay in the
paint too much. It turns out to be not such a bad thing
after all. All-in-all the gameplay is the highlight of the
NBA Street experience, it reminds you of the the fun in
NBA Jam, yet it offers more realism and way more depth.
Outstanding stuff!! |

Graphics :

Very nice looking graphics. The
players look good, but some definitely got more attention
than others. Some just seem like repeats, but not too many.
The levels are really cool; paper/leaves will blow across
the court, people will watch and cheer as you play, and
cars will pass by in the background. Other levels have
reflective puddles, snow, sparks, and many other cool
effects. Each level is different, but they're all street
courts, you won't find any real stadiums or arenas here.
