    The new gameplay controls are the best thing. But what's up with the level up and single player mode? nothing special there. v3 single player was waay cooler.

    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 I picked this game up for Xbox about a week ago and can't begin to express how impressed I am with it.

    I don't know... 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. I liked the first few street games and played them to death. But this one just feels like I played it all too much!

    Found this to be mostly over hyped. Animations are great, but the control design is rather shallow and whoever designed this one didn't think about making it fun for more than 10 minutes.

    Fun game to play with your friends. Story becomes a bit repetitive, but just change the difficulty and you got a whole new game. Overall I recommend it.

    If you love the NBA, this isn't the game for you. 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 If you love the NBA, this isn't the game for you.

    I am not a basketball fan and don't like sports games all that much but after the demo I decided to give the game a shot...well was I shocked in how nice the game play is amazing and the graphics are almost a nice edgey look not what I was expecting and the feel and replay value is right up there with the likes of vegas, graw, and burnout overall I recommend this game to everyone.

    This game is great fun but lacks any real depth.If it had more value and a better career mode things could have been fantastic but this is still worth it at 10 or 20 of your currency.

    My favorite NBA Street game in the series. I felt like I was back on the courts myself.

    Highly honed, it beautifully perfects the elements that the first three games almost nailed without reaching for the next great thing the way a truly classic game does. [Mar 2007, p.76]

    This game bursts with one brilliant design decision after another - including a Gamebreaker power-up system that is, finally, perfect. [Mar 2007, p.86]
  3. Game Informer

    While all these features give Homecourt the depth it needs, the real revelation here is something that's hard to describe in words: it just feels right. [Mar 2007, p.99]
