    This game is a blast... for about a day. Then, the repetitive gameplay and mind-numbing lack of true depth gets to you. Sure, there are tons of unlockable items, but there is no strategy to this game, there is no defense, only the same emphasis on offense. It's fun and arcady, but when CPU characters score every single time, regardless of your attempts at defense, it gets tiring. Rent first.

    First thing's first. The graphics on this game are Insane!!!!!!!! The face models are so perfect and detailed they push Xbox graphics to it`s limits. You can even see the skin pores on the players' faces. These are the kind of graphics that when a coworker was at my place and when i got to the player selection screen and he saw the faces of the players generated in real time, First thing's first.

As long as the game itself, Fun. But it's got nothing on Nba street Volumes 1 and 2.… Expand

    I found the graphics to be quiet good along with a very good soundtrack. But as a huge basketball fan, I found the game tedious and tiresome. I was dissapointed with the game after all the pre-release hype. If, there is to be a sequel, i hope it is better.

    An amazing sports game that plays like a song and has all the makings of a classic hit. [May 2004, p.89]

    Each confrontation is generally exactly the same and victory is sometimes dependent on whether the irritating catch-up AI decides to beat you or not. [Oct 2004, p.120]

    Why couldn't Midway just have added the option to play full court two-on-two as well as the one-on-one? It just doesn't make sense.
