    EA Sports BIG and developer NuFX, Inc. have taken their nearly flawless game and made it that much better, taking it to a whole new level in terms of graphics, gameplay, sound and presentation... Right when you pop in the game, you know you're in for a good time. [Apr 2003, p.72]

    Never gets complicated, it never gets boring, and it will probably remain the best sports game of the year -- especially in the eyes of those gamers not necessary obsessed with stats and realism.

    The atmosphere of NBA Street is enhanced by an excellent soundtrack including hip-hop tracks from the likes of Nelly and Nate Dogg, plus various sound effects from the street - traffic, sirens, crowd abuse etc.

    It played well to begin with, but now it has depth. [May 2003, p.86]

    Arcade mavens, it’s a no-brainer, buy it now. However, I can’t help but think that for hardcore sim fans the over-the-top antics may be just a bit too much.

    A great game... Any fan of basketball who isn't necessarily sold on the complexities of your average NBA simulation will find plenty to love here.

    Heck, even if you aren’t a hoops fan, there’s plenty of unintentional humor to appreciate: Seeing Yao Ming dunk on Bill Walton alone is worth the price of admission.

    Perfect mix of sports and arcade in the same vein as NHL Hitz.

    Cool characters in the game and awesome to see them go against real NBA    Perfect mix of sports and arcade in the same vein as NHL Hitz.

    Cool characters in the game and awesome to see them go against real NBA players.

    Great in game music courtesy of Pete Rock and CL Smooth.

    One of the perfect games of the 2000s. Great for a single player run or multiplayer fun.    … Expand

    I just can't give this game a perfect score regardless of how bad I want to haha, ok it's not that this game was bad it just was off on soI just can't give this game a perfect score regardless of how bad I want to haha, ok it's not that this game was bad it just was off on so many things. The game was such a simplistic rendition of basketball and honestly that's ok. I just never found myself finding this game to be that fun unless you were with friends but I have to give it a good score because of that reason. Games shouldn't be judged just on mechanics, graphics, sound, and etc. What makes a game good is how it seems to just take hours out of your life. Time seems to pass quicker when you pick up this game, honestly that's how I feel about it. My friends and I could play this game for a while and everyone has an equal chance rather when we play 2k, it's just the person that plays the most that always wins.… Expand
