    Straddles the line between arcade and simulation nicely. Players move, look, and behave in a realistic fashion, but fatigue, substitutions, and playcalling don’t interrupt the fun.

    With its tongue-in-cheek take on street life, this consummate B-baller keeps it more real than most of today’s endorsement-whore NBA superstars.

    Delivers on the street but stumbles on the hoops. [6 Sept 2002, p.89]

    You can buy gear, place bets on games, get tattoos and haircuts, but when it comes to actually playing ball, the title fails to deliver.
  6. Sports Gaming Network

    The AI is weak, scoring is plentiful on both sides of the ball, and there is little strategy involved. Enjoying the game is made even more difficult by sloppy controls.
  7. Game Revolution

    A crummy engine, weak graphics and waaaay more style than substance leads to a highlight reel gimmick that only Daryl Dawkins could enjoy.

    Very good game but not without its problems. Does a good job of capturing street ballers and the whole essence of playing the blacktop. Very good game but not without its problems. Does a good job of capturing street ballers and the whole essence of playing the blacktop. What's more irritating than this game is this whole "its not NBA Street". I'm not sure what black top you play on but in mine the are guys name Half-man Half amazing, Speedy, and AO not Michael Jordan, Larry Bird or Karl Malone. Street Ball is totally different and once the public gets that then this wack comparison will end. Just because you see a highlight of Tracy McGrady up in Rucker doesn't mean he spends summer in NYC. Bottom line rent first then if you don't like it you didn't waste $50. … Expand

    This game is no NBA Street but it holds up well all the way up to 2021 and is really easy to pick up and play

    I remember when this first came out it did not live up to what NBA Street brought to the table...this game will forever be in Street's shadows.

Unfortunately, there seems to be frustrating delays in passing, often resulting in wild throws out of bounds. It's important to temper your expectations, as the game's issues seem to stem from its inability to stand the test of time, rather than being outright terrible.… Expand
