Gameplay issues aside, Showdown is still a very enjoyable game, mostly due to the fact that it offers a wide variety of game modes.
-
Fans of the series won't be disappointed, and those seeking something fast and fun will be happy they picked it up.

Game InformerIt'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]

This is NBA with a little bit less seriousness. Don't take it to seriously and it's fairly entertaining.
-
Unless having a portable Street title is absolutely necessary for you for some strange reason, do yourself a favor and stick with Vol. 3 for now.
-
Electronic Gaming MonthlyMore rehash than reinvention. [July 2005, p.118]
-
Official U.S. Playstation MagazineIf you can get over the learning curve for the controls, you'll have fun brining it to the streets. [July 2005, p.79]
-
It's an entertaining one that faithfully carries on the NBA Street line. However, there's no getting around the slightly dumbed-down game play and the button timing issues. [*Note: original score posted by Operation Sports as 3/5 = 60. Current score on their redesigned site is inaccurate.]
