Yo, This game Is Whack! | | BradTheWorst from Luanda, Angola says (24/Oct/2004): | I don't know why most of the people call this game a great game. Dude, this game is whack. Look, the dunks look like that Mega Drive arcade basket ball game, i don't remember quite well, it was something like Slam 96, remember that? Where players jump like a photo (lack of motion concept) and then slam. Man, the graphics in this game aren't quite well, black players shine like they were on oil the whole week when there's sun, and the motion, oh God, what a crap, long time i don't see this "kind" of games.
I know you expected more words for me, but i won't even take so much time for this game's review, i'll just try to explain to you why this game isn't so good at all:
_Graphics_
The average 3D graphics, but not greater than official NBA games graphics. But sometimes, remember Dragon Ball Budokai 2? Yeah, sometimes the graphics just sound like that, "Cartoon-3D". More effort should be spent on almost all the natural environments.
_Sounds_
Not a so great soundtrack, most of them don't have voices, and is the thing that makes this game a bit cool, you make a dunk and then the whack replay goes instrumental, and there's the guy talking, a plus for humor, what means fun.
_Gameplay_
You buy tricks, dunks, full clothes (that means you don't edit for real, just choose some street outfit for you, some face for you, some hair, and you're done, it's you, yeah..., and also you can't even specify a correct height for you, you just choose between 4 variations of size, and also if you're athletic or sound like a fatty guy). And then you also buy stat points, what makes you a greater baller. Just take your time... bwahhhhh... The game also lacks on options and features, there should more into it. And they call this NBA rpg, lol, i rather hold my WWE Smackdown Shut Your Mouth and my WWE Smackdown Here Comes the Pain dreaming about that as well (To buy tricks eh?)
_Lifespan_
Arght, with that stupid motion? The only reason i bought this game is because of the stunning tricks and the ability to play with women, but with the "ant-world atmosphere" of the game both features get down, women moving sound like ants, and even the boys, they don't feel like real players, they don't have cool reactions at all, so my big mistake was to buy this game, maybe most of the people are NBA freaks that's why they like this game, most of the americans do (no offence!). But, even if you're just a NBA lover you could take more advantage buying some official NBA game, something like NBA 2003 (Now i do regret why i made i trade w/ it), NBA 2004 etc, but if you want to feel the dunks etc, then buy NBA 2003, just look for the advantages:
- You'll have the complete players, in this game there are only a few ones from NBA.
- NBA 2003 allows you to play outdoors too, with normal clothes.
- Since this game lacks on motion, even if has more dunks and moves on NBA 2003 you'll see dunks not looking sticky, and while they say this game has visual effects let me tell you that's bulls**t, there aren't cool visual effects, there's a stupid fighting game like replay when you do a great shot, etc, only to show to you how bad the motion is and you probably cut the replay a lot. On NBA 2003 you'll hear roars while dunking, it has the perfect slowmo with blur, and with the correct character motion!!
- While this game could be cool with girls, it isn't. You won't enjoy them behaving like ants. She does a great shot or a great dunk and then turns in less than 1 sec like if nothing happened, running like a fool who doesn't knows what's happenin' around. Isn't that dumb? So, suit yourself playing with the official NBA's players of some year's NBA game, they at least have the correct motion!!
- While this game could be cool with a lot of AND1 moves, crossovers, etc, it still LACKS ON MOTION! So, in the ads and vids you probably can be amazed cause they just show to you one trick flowing, the trick animation itself is good. Ok, but when the trick move ends? and then when you continue running and you throw the ball to the basket? You're a complete toy right there! And you won't see that on the ads...
You got it. What i'm gonna do? I'll exchange this game with a Xbox Controller S, and enjoy Dead or Alive 3 and Halo with my friends for three, plus a PS2 memory card. But if you're a NBA freak, or crappy games freak, then that won't do. Maybe you'll still prefer your lovely game or will want to experience some lil freaky moves with funky comic's like motion. That's why you see even some of the game lovers saying the lifespan of this game isn't great, when you finish "Be a Legend" you'll even rather play Driv3r...
| Why buy this game | | Malik R.I.P. from Oakdale, USA says (15/Apr/2004): | If you don't know which basketball game to buy don't buy some game like NBA Live (I did enjoy that game)if you want to have a lot of 3 on 3 streetball fun and school your friends then dunk it right in their faces. Then create a baller or play as legendary players like Julius Erving, Wilt Chamberlin, the 1996 and 1985 Michael Jordan, Walt Frazier, Earl Monroe, Stretch Monroe, and more. Or you want to be the greats of today like Kevin Garnett, Sam Cassell,or Latrell Spreewell.(hint: if you want to have Julius Dr. J. Erving on your team beat the be a legend mode.)
| Easy Controls! Fun to play! | | Mr. Perfect says (4/Apr/2004): | If you're looking to buy a good NBA game, this is the one to buy. NBA Street Vol 2 has easy-to-learn controls and is very fun to play. There are many awesome moves you can do like "Off The Heezay." This is a move where you bounce the ball of one of your opponent's head. Another cool thing about this game is that there are some neat things that you can unlock, such as the St. Lunatics team, which consists of Nelly. If you alwasy get confused by the controls of other NBA games, then you should get this game because it has really easy controls which can be learned in only about a half an hour with a special lesson where you can learn all the controls. I think that every basketball game fan should own a copy of NBA Street Vol 2.
| Big Tymers Heavyweight is all I can say | | Big Dog from Belgium says (4/Jan/2004): | This Game is fo sho the number 1 game around. Forget the lunatics and the old school stars are okay, even the new moves are all off the heazy. The real deal is when you make your own team and I got the best squad around. The 85 Jordan, 96 Jordan, and the latest and still greatest Jordan from the wizards are an unstoppable combination. The all fly thru the air with the greatest of ease. We should be able to play this online with each other. This game is by far the best I have played in awhile. All my boys are ready to play each and everyday. Kind of like when Madden 04 came out.
| Ea Does it Again! | | Joey Whalen from Derby, Kansas, Usa says (4/Jan/2004): | Has ea big failed yet?! Actutally yes, ssx 3 but we'll excuse them on that one. Other than that they're unstoppable. I haven't bought this game yet and am runnin' out of excuses y i haven't. It's the best out there. Gameplay awsome, but a story mode would be sweet. Its the easiet pick up and play b-ball vg. PLay as 25 legends including Dr.J. UNfortunately it is not all that hard to beat but it has a few different modes of play so to beat the whole thing mite take awhile. 100 outta 10.
| THE OZ | | Kevin "POP" James from Maryland,USA says (20/Dec/2003): | Osmois is the best no dbout. he got that move the oz. he got all around gaame.I like the colors of the game they should make a 3rd one so u can walk with your team or gang to the game. get the game i am tellin you. you will fall in love with it.get it get it get it get it get itget it get it get it get it get iget itt get it get it get it JUST GET IT PLEASE PLEASE Get IT KNOW dont just sit there yes you get it

| THIS FRICKEN GAME IS OFF THE HOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | | DA BOMB from MINDEN NEVADA says (14/Oct/2003): | Dude this is the #1 game of all time for PS2, for XBOX its Halo and Halo2!THIS game will blow anyones mind. players include Mj the man Wilt the stil chamberland Lary Bird Darrel Chocolate Thunder Dawkins and many more LIKE THE BOMB IS STRECH MONROE! AYEA BABY!You think all the other games are good let me tell you on a scale from 1-10 its a 3,000,000! You gotaa get this game its mind blowing and
| That Junk Is crazy | | Memph from USA says (13/Oct/2003): | Streets Vol.2 is so crazy. It has streets crossovers like Hot Sauce, Headache, and especially AO with the Off The Hezzay.All the players are cruical. The best player I think is the best is Stretch because hes the baddest, or maybe Bonafide. I don't but both are very good.The shocking thing about the game is that they have a little 10 year old playing name Biggie Little. Play it and u wil be goin' crazy. This is some mad "Krunk Junk!!!"
| Hottest game ever thought of by humankind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | | your mama from Chester County ,TN says (19/Sep/2003): | I don't care what that Canadian says. I beat this game before and it is easy. You just aren't putting enough work into it. You are just lazy and you probaly didn't even try it. Anyway this game is the best. I like the hardcore dunks,wicked crossovers. Let's just say I like everything about. Anybody who says this game sucks is absolute crazy and I mean that. Who likes signature dunks this game has it. I think the best center on this game is Yao Ming. 7'6 of brutality and he can shoot the ball and take it to the hole whenever he need to. Jason Kidd is da bomb on this game. Shoot,dunk,steal the ball from you in a second,cross you up and slam it on your tail.The legends on this are what they actually where in their time.Julius Erving,Magic Johnson,Pistol Pete Maravich,Bill Walton,Wilt Chamberlain,Dominique Wilkins,Michael Jordan,Elgin Baylor and a whole lot more. You have got to by this game!!!!!
| go back to where it all started | | daniel from katy texas usa says (19/Sep/2003): | This is where it all started. Big time legends taking it to the sreets. Fifteen courts with enough legends and cool moves to make your head spin, with the added bonus of a crazy announcer. As if that wasnt enough you get todays stars and in the be legend mode some crazy hometown players like Dime,Stretch,Little Biggy,Osmosis,Whitewater,and the king of them all Bonifide.But lets get down to bussiness.
Graphics 8- personelly I dont really pay attention to the graphics.All I want to do is have fun so if thats why you give this game a lower rating then your crazy. Sound 10-a GREAT SOUNTRACK with urban rapping that goes great with the games urban setting. Gameplay 10- another awsome aspect of this game. Tons of insane moves like "off da heezay" where you bounce it off the guards head. Or thers "back to papa" where you take the ball and pass it to your gaurds off the backboard. Oh and the gamebreakers are sweat especially the level 2s, I did one that was worth a million.three words,gameplay is awsome.funfactor 10- This game is awsomley fun it will keep you hooked for our a day with gettin the milestones and all the sidequests and and endless fun with your friends on multiplayer. originality 10- I dont think there is anything more original. I shouldnt even have to answer this. value unlimited- This game is impossible to get bord of. I would pay 100$ for this. Its pricless.
I reccommend this game to anyone and everyone. But some advise,never start off the game the first time your playing and do Mad Game the medium level,always start out with Got Game,the easiest level. The reason I say this is because there is a huge gap between the two. And the Lengendary mode the last level is almost impossible. If you dont have this baby on your shelf yet and buy it. Oh and my grade is really a 9.9.
| hot | | jayda from new york,usa says (25/Aug/2003): | I love this game because of the graphics,players,and every thing else.i really think that you should buy it. you would love it.its the hottest game out!its way better than regular basketball because in real ball its calls and stuff and its no fun!!!!! its hot er than the matrix!!
| Great game with little problems. | | Tim from CT, USA says (15/Aug/2003): | Pro- I've never played the 1st NBA Street, so to me, this game was very new to me; and this game blew me away. I really love the Idea of Nicknames, since this was the first game to make you EARN the nickname. Also, there are so much moves, it will overwhelm you. Also play with(or against) 25 NBA legends; Dr.J, Magic Johnson, Chocolate Thunder, M.J. just to name the few. oh yea, by the way you dont only get 1 M.J. not 2, but 3 M.J.! make yourself all Jordam team, it's pretty sweet. also, get extra Street Legends EA created. And(Yup i ain't done) 5 players from each NBA TEAMS. In addition(MUHAHAHA!!!!!) Get Just Blaze, Nelly and St. Lunatics, and how can you forget my fav, Babbito Garcia. Oh yea, speaking of Babbito, he is the only announcer on PS2 who will actually make you laugh. also, you can play on all the legendary courts, Rucker, Cage, Lincon, and the list goes on. And this game has the Best Musics.
Con- If there is anything I learned in life, that is that Nothing is perfect. I really think that EA should have let us choose the number of players on court. Also, for some reason this game only recorgnizes the 1P memory card. which is very disappointing because i always wanted to play against my friend's created team. Also, this game can and does get repetitive.
Final Thoughts- Even though this games has somethings to fix, it really is a great game, very original and even though you don't like basketball games, you WILL like this one, and it is worth a rent.
1(worst) 10(Best)
Graphics- 9
Sound- 10
Gameplay- 7(Because of the repetitive...ness)
Fun Factor- 9
| I think Street volume 2 is the best NBA game of all time. | | Hussei ballout from Detroit, Michigan, usa says (14/Aug/2003): | Street Vol. is a game like no other. I play it all day, and I also learn new moves and practice it on my friends. Every day i get better and better at it. My skills at basketbalol have gotten better, and I practice my dunks. So not only is the game fun, but it also teaches you real basketball. I think it will help me when I join the NBA in the future.
| whoa tight | | brandino and big d from evansville indiana usa says (12/Aug/2003): | this game is bad its way better then the first expesically adding nelly to it that topped keep it up holla dino and big d this game topped all hights with the graphics and every thang its tight beating the game earning the points and buying stuff on it i beat in 3 hours but its still tight to plAY
| Where's the Dream? | | AJ from Houston, Texas says (8/Aug/2003): | This is easily the best basketball game I have ever played. I played the first game for the first time not too long ago, and I immediately picked up the second. The soundtrack for this game is better than the first one, the graphics are a lot better than the first one, and the addition of the level 2 gamebreaker makes it a hell of a lot better than the first one. I give it a nine, because I have one question: How can you not include Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon in the NBA Legends, but put Clyde Drexler? Hakeem made the official list of the 50 greatest basketball players ever, and is arguably one of the best centers to ever play the game, but they left him out completely? Why is that? Making your own character with the Rockets' red and gold from the 90's would have been the best part of the game. Hopefully they'll make another one and correct their mistake.
| Tom N Paulies review | | Tom N Paulie from Deer Park, New York, USA says (7/Aug/2003): | This game was one of the best basketball games ever made but after i beat the legend mode beating stretch, biggie little, etc. It got easy and boring i guess thats why they made a version on legendary. One thing i was suprised about is that they didnt have LEBRON JAMES in the game, but they had YAO MING. I mean come on LEBRON JAMES is just about the best next legend to MICHEAL JORDAN.
| OFF THE HOOK | | Damon from Clifton, New Jersey says (21/Jul/2003): | When I picked up the controller at my friends house for the first time...I knew instantly this was a keeper. The next day I bought it, and since then havent put the controller down. I have'nt managed to unlock everything yet, but the gameplay is the greatest I ever played with a basketball game. Usally a B-Ball game plays bulky, but not this one..fast pasted action that never stops, the moves, spins, ankle-breakers, blocks, dunks and gamebreakers are consistant. I gave it a 9, the one point I didnt give is for not having enough music. I wish they added more to the soundtrack. The announcers had us busted up a few times, and it added to the IN YOUR FACE PLAY this game consisantly gives anyone who picks up the controller. When my friend stopped by, he learned most of the art during the first game, but I still put a whippin on em, and on everyone else who wanted to test my method, this weekend I did one thing...and I am a 27 year old man...with a busy life...but this weekend I was busy with da game...my girlfriend can wait!
| Hmmm... | | Roscoe"2precise" Baker from Southern California says (6/Jul/2003): | First and foremost I have been playing on the streets since 1999 and i know every aspect of the street game in SOUTH california. This game captured alot of the urban feel to it In the graphics and that is not very easy to do.
People say the sound is wack but tha game is good. If you say that then you do not want tha full street experience. Hip hop is the sound of the streets. Like it or love it, the makers knew that hip hop was the soud it needed why? well...why else? cause its the voice of street ball.
Game play is on point. Every move is incredibly fun. Just like in real street ball. But again, people say "well this aint like real street ball"..my answer to that is, of course its not. its a frieken video game. Putting unrealistic moves and combos is what video games are all about, why? because its funner.(period)
| About the game | | A gamer from USA says (3/Jul/2003): | NBa Street Vol 2 rocks it is cool and it is awesome. It never stops the fun. When you get a whole bunch of points you win player. For example: 500 points to unlock Clyde Drexler. Then you keep winning new players until you make your own team. Then you get to play with your team. You only get to get three players to play in your game. You can raise you guys stats by winning more and more games in Challenge Mode.
