    A dazzling array of showmanship, visual glitz, and a hefty dose of fun make this an absolute must-play.

    NBA Street Homecourt is pretty much a no brainer for anyone looking for a fun exaggerated game of hoops.
  3. PSX Extreme

    It's visually impressive, features a great deal of gameplay, superb online features, a masterfully done soundtrack, and a ton of replay value. NBA Street Homecourt comes highly recommended.
  4. GamesRadar+

    A scientifically fluid refinement of upgraded graphical sheen (PS3 has a slight edge over 360) and unprecedented stylish madness that will harvest some of your most enthusiastic hollers.
  5. GameSpy

    Where development did put in the time was in coming up with a logical and intuitive new control scheme that lets you showcase all the moves that Street vets expect.

    Don't worry about not "getting" B-ball - this is more of a showing-off sim, and a fun one at that. [May 2007, p.64]

    The gameplay becomes repetitive quickly and the campaign is over without much fuss. In the end, this fast-paced game falls victim to its own velocity.

A surprisingly addictive game that really wasHonestly was just about the only good game I had on PS3 until I got Cod 4 at the end of 2007. A surprisingly addictive game that really was the only game that had me playing PS3. Resistance and Motorstorm were decent but really this basketball version of FIFA street was very satisfying and even though it may be a little short lived, it was undoubtedly a fun, well presented experience with good graphics. A few years later and now the PS3 has a myriad of fantastic multi platform and exclusive games, but back at it's sub par beginnings this was the best game you could own on the console.… Expand

    This game was the first game i bought(with my ps3)and i have played the game since. I'm going to rate the game in 5 categories and the gradesThis game was the first game i bought(with my ps3)and i have played the game since. I'm going to rate the game in 5 categories and the grades are for 2007 not 2011 ps3 games so it's fair. 8.5 Presentation The menus are pretty solid and good and the videos of the nba players when they played in the street when they were young and their stories are good. 8.5 Graphics The graphic is very good for the time when the game came out. 7.5 Sound The sound is good but not great. 8.5 Gameplay Very fun and easy to learn system but can get repetitive if you play the game many hours at a time. 8.5 Lasting Appeal The feature set could be a little meatier, but you have a fun and good game modes. The campaign is fun and you can recruit NBA players to your crew and make your own player with some kind NBA player face blender and choose the players hometown, name and skills. Overall pretty solid and fun game: 8,5 overall so I'll lower it to 8 because of the system here… Expand

Yes, the graphics are the best in the series, but the energy around this game is dull & kinda lifeless. Nowhere near as electric as the first 3. Certain additions, like the double dunk, does its best to try to keep the attention; but, the traversal up & down the court just comes across as "bleh."… Expand
