    If you've played or own any of the games in the NBA Street series there's enough new content here to offer a unique experience as well as plenty of familiar ground to tread while on the move.

    While the visuals are the weakest part of the game, it's by no means a deal breaker. NBA Street Showdown finally brings the game of basketball to the PSP, and does it with authority.

    You won't get the full Street experience with Showdown, but it more than gets the job done. [July 2005, p.89]

    If there's one problem with EA's portable baller, it's that the controls simply aren't responsive enough.

    It's a fun play, but being a veteran of the console versions really pulled out this handheld incarnation's glaring flaws. [July 2005, p.127]

    An otherwise solid playing game that comes up short in the control and play modes, especially when compared to "NBA Street V3," which is clearly the better option for those new to the arcade b-ball franchise.

    This game I think is the best sports game for PSP so far. The arcade shootout and the shotblocker are very good mini-games for NBA Street:Showdown.
