| Summary: Good
85
Well, its NBA Street, and with a few console hits, why shouldn’t this one be good too? It feels and plays like the console versions, and the portability of it just adds to the overall fun factor.
Story
You start as a basketball player with a few skills, and you decide to make your own team and take over the courts. From here you play a few pickup games a la NFL Street, and get players to make a team. Then you challenge the top basketball players, and beat them and become king of their court. Your goal is to become the king of the courts.
Controls
The controls are quite easy to get used to. It's much easier to pull off cool moves and do game breakers than on the console versions. Even the analog feels right, but the game gives you the choice to choose from a few control schemes, so if you're not happy with the first one, which I highly doubt you will be, you'll get your choice from a few more. Pulling cool trick moves is simple, and so is taking the trick shots.
Gameplay
If you've played the console versions, you've played this. It's essentially the same game, insane shots, crazy moves, and of course, awesome dunks. Pull trick moves and make crazy shots on offense, mash the steal button on defense. There's only one mode to pick from, but it involves some fun gameplay and cool mini games. King of the courts mode is the story mode, and its pretty much explained in the Story part of this review.
Sound
Once again the typical slew of EA trax music. This time around it consists of ALL rap. Dribbling and missed shots all sound like what you'd expect, nothing special or extraordinary.
Graphics
Nothing spectacular, but decent graphics, you won't be paying much attention because you'll be too busy pulling tricks.
Overall
If you liked the console versions of the NBA Street series, then you should have a good time playing this game. However if you haven't played the games before, it'd be a better idea to buy the cheaper $20 console version and see if you like the gameplay.
