Amazon.com Review: NBA Street is the best arcade basketball title available. Period. Why? No refs, no clocks, and no fouls. Players will knock you over, and they practically live for blatant goaltending throughout the game. Realistic? No, but it's always fun--even if you hate basketball.
Street has two game modes--City Circuit and Hold the Court--yet the differences are minimal. Both feature three-on-three games of 21, in which you must assemble a squad composed of (initially) NBA players. Soon you'll play against street legends (read: bosses) that, once defeated, can be added to your team. Your ultimate goal is to defeat the biggest legend ever--Michael Jordan.
To survive the streets, you must learn which buttons to mash as you master specific stunts. This will add special points to your score and give you access to news ways to score. Though similar to the NBA Jam games, Street is deeper and sports a surprisingly developed finesse game.
Street does commit some fouls, however, with its over-the-top, repetitive commentary and lack of play modes. But even if you hate arcade-style basketball, you'll find Street is different from the pack and a solid MVP contender. --Mark Brooks
This review refers to the PlayStation2 version of the game.
Pros:
Good controls and gameplay
Pleasantly cartoonish graphics
Arcade approach makes it fun for those turned off by very technical basketball simulations
Cons:
Horrific commentary
Only 2 gameplay modes, and they're very similar
No 4-player support

NBA Street is awesome. It has loads of trick moves, including dunks. The gamebreakers and busted rims are cool in every aspect. The player models and create-a-player are very realistic. It even has "Street School", which teaches you the gameplay. There are downsides, though. There are only two modes of gameplay which are kind of similar. The commentary is a tad bit annoying. Still, this is a must have for gamers.

This game is alright.You can get alot of great nba players just by winning but who said they were good at street ball?There are alot of courts to choose from but i'd recodmend the street hoops game more because there are actually real street ball players on that game like you see on tv
Rating: - it is awesome
Nba Street is one of the coolest games that i have ever played. It has some pretty cool characters like Yetti, Alein, and magma man. It also has Jordan, Iverson and many other real NBA players. The different places you can play and awesome different moves that you can do just hit the spot. My personal favorite is DINNER'S SERVED! But that's just me. You might like PUTIN' IT HOME or the ALLEY-OOP. All in all, this is a fun all around good game.

This game is the best basket ball game ever. The cites of the game is cool. The dunking is so realistic. It is easy to beat MJ. The names of the characters is cool. You can also play as the girls in 3LW. There is a dream team member you get to chose after you beat the game things like Magma Man Alien Boy and many more. But they realy messed up on Takashie. He is the worst player. Shak can block balls better than him.There is a grip of cheat codes. The beast thing about it is that when you get real far in the game,they give you the codes.My space is running short. There is one more thing, BUY THIS GAME AND STREETS VOLUMN 2!!!

NBA Street is awesome! I just got this game a couple days ago. It is the coolest basketball game ever. The graphics are sweet. And the characters are even cooler. Stretch Monroe is cool even for an Old School player. My favorite street legend is Bonafide. BIGGS can dunk and block or should I say stuff. He is probably the strongest street legend. BONAFIDE has mad skillz. He can handle the ball better than A.I. He can also drain three pointers. Which comes in handy when you are playing Stretch Monroe. DRAKE can't dunk. He goes up for the dunk but has to finger roll it instead. He is pretty embarassing for a street legend. He basically is a shooter pure shooter. DJ's got hops. He can soar above the rim then do a 360 dunk. He can shake even MJ. TAKASHI is tall I mean tall he looks down at Yao Ming. Come on I mean 7'8" that's pretty unbelievable but hey it's only a video game his best skill blocking. STRETCH is cool. In an Old School way. He isn't much of a dunker but he can drain those hook shots and he is pretty good behind the arc. They make it seem like he is impossible to beat but he is easy. I beat him with Bonafide, Takashi, and Kobe. Graphic wise this game gets 10/10 it's so clear and perfectly Gamecube. Sound is okay but the music is pretty annoying. I give it a 7/10 Overall this game gets 10/10. Buy it you'll be glad you did.
