    KavveenK and RyanO, you're both pathetic. This game is good and you both are trash.

    I was very disappointed with this game. nba street was good, nba street 2 was AWSOME (the best one i think) and nba 3 was kind of a mouse fart. its fun. but not that fun. graphics i think are... ok i guess. nothing special.

    All you do is shoot .... it is too easy and it is hard to remember all moves.

    If you dont find this absolutely, EXTremely boring, then i'd love to have your patience. Don't the tricks get old. I think so anyway. Its a patetic game for its price.

    Very good game. Doesn't take long to master the controls and once you get the hang of everything it is a lot of fun. If only they spent more time on the sound and commentary it could be a 10!

    Best volume of the series. The graphics rock! And I love the new game breakers. The only sports game I really want this year. I just wish the commentator would stop talking.

    Very fun when you are playing with other people. However, the single player mode is very drawn out and consists of playing A LOT of games(I think close to 150).

    This game is one of the best! It beats all the volumes of NBA street.

    This is a very good game as a whole but there are a couple of annoying gameplay quirks that detract from it. Also Chris Bosh is not on the Raptor's team, instead they have Eric Williams!! Give me a break!

    This is the best NBA Street game of all. It is extremely customizable and there are so many gameplay modes that it is impossible to get bored. It is a blast!

    An addictive game pretty much better than any other sports game I've played. It has those arcade-style moves that everyone loves with a long-lasting challenge that will keep you playing for a while. The "ballers" don't look very impressive, and the courts look soaked. But with a court editor, many challenges, and lots of other customization features this one ranks high in my list!

    I felt like this game took a step back as far as gameplay. Graphics are different and can be argued better but the game doesn't feel as polished as vol. 2 was.

    Awesome game but it loses a bit of the charm that the first 2 volumes had. This game was the beginning of the end for the series however, this game is still really good and is a must play

    It's playing solo that puts this one over the top. Creating a custom hoopster and earning respect never feels repetitive. [March 2005, p.116]

    Putting on a three-man aerial show is about as tough as it sounds, but making the Gamebreakers controllable definitely improves the strategic aspects of the game. [March 2005, p.84]

    For V3, the player models have photorealistic heads and faces - you can actually see facial details and markings. The development team even incorporated cloth animations. [Feb 2005, p.75]
