  1. The A.V. Club

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

    For the next iteration, we want the option to turn off the sepia tone and more gameplay modes, but the gameplay itself is nearly perfect.

    Homecourt has the flashy moves of a superstar but it needs to work on its fundamentals. Maybe then it'll elevate its game to true legend status.
  4. Planet Xbox 360

    The game is a feast for the senses with great graphics and fantastic audio although replay value is reduced by the fact that you are doing virtually the exact same thing game in and game out, regardless of game play mode.
  5. The New York Times

    Homecourt may bear only a passing resemblance to real basketball, but it is tremendous fun, even if you never have to the pass the game controller behind your back or toss it in the air.
  6. Gamer 2.0
    79
    Homecourt looks, sounds and plays greatly, but it seems they lost the essence of what made V3 so phenomenal.
  7. RewiredMind

    Graphically stunning and sonically amazing, the gameplay lets it down for me. In multiplayer, there is fun to be had, but the single player challenge is a long, hard slog that is pitted with dodgy AI and too many anomalies.

    I picked this game up for Xbox about a week ago and can't begin to express how impressed I am with it. My friends and I have been I picked this game up for Xbox about a week ago and can't begin to express how impressed I am with it. My friends and I have been playing it like mad and all agree it is probably the most FUN we've had with a sports game EVER. I think this one will be a staple in my collection for years to come, like Madden 04. I highly recommend this game to everyone and anyone who is even thinking about picking it up - you will not be disappointed.… Expand

It's more Harlem Globetrotters on amphetamines; in other words, it's a part of a continued progression to divorce sports video games from the sports themselves. But it does play fairly well and has style, so if you want to see what it would be like if Jason Kidd could dunk, or if basketball rules were more like weak guidelines, you might find it worthwhile, if short.… Expand

Maybe I'm just tired of street basketball, or maybe I'm just tired of EA's games. Street starts out being exciting and different. But in a short time it just gets boring.
