Well contrary to the other review I basically have no complaints with this game. If you have ever played NBA street on a console you'll be right at home, and if not you'll be comfy in moments.

In the graphics department this game shines. The players look sharp and move with a life like fluidity. considering that this is running in the palm of your hand it is basically mindboggling.

As for controls the only complaint i have is the lack of the 2 extra shoulder buttons for a more versatile trick system, but that is a psp flaw and not a game flaw. The seemless and quick play from the consoles never misses a step on the psp. Its top notch in my humble opionion.

The ability to play the 3 on 3 streetball is offset by some mini games that are good but not great. The shot blocker game while simple can be quite addicting, but the arcade shooter leaves me wanting more.

NBA street has minimal load times on psp and the games play smooth as butter. Its absolutely fantastic and a perfect game to knock a few rounds out on the bus or something. If you like the console version or are a bball junky lookin for a quick thrill to show off on your psp this is the game for you.

$50, BTW I didn't think the game shined in the graphics department. To me it was sort of a let down. Sure the players moved fluidly, but I thought there was blurring. Graphix are decent but when you look at games like Ridge Racer, Wipeout, and Tony Hawk , Street looks like crap(maybe an overstatement) anyway thats just my opinion. Still a pretty good game though, good review too

I just got this over the weekend and think it's pretty sweet. The graphics are great, despite what some think, and the music rocks. There may be a little blurring but it's not very noticeable and doesn't detract from the game at all. I don't know of any portable game that's worth $50 bucks right now and I still have a problem with EA charging that much for their games just because they can...they shouldn't be any more than $40. Just trade in an old game to knock the price down some like I did. Overall it's a really fun game and I would highly recommend getting it.
