NBA Street Vol. 2

"The only game that brings AND 1 to the console"

Whats up Players and Playerettes I'm here to preach to you on the only game the brings street ball to the console in all of its ankle breakin glory this game is truly of the street like my main man of the AND 1 team Hot Sauce it breaks down your defenses and lets you have it!!!

Graphics-

This games cel-shading gives the ball handlers and environment life bringing the user (you) closer to the game. ''Street 2'' really gives in upgrade to its predecessor. The games animations gives the moves life as you break down your opponent. The upgrade from the VOL. 1 is impressive as it gives VOl. 2 a fresh new look that retains its parent games appearance

Sound-

The games tracks are truly off da hook and your constantly waiting for the next song to bounce ya head to as you drop a shot on your opponents head. This is a massive improvement off the first game which simply had beats but no lyrics. The games sound effects are tight to, from every dribble to grunts and groans to the sweet sound of silence as the ball hits nothin but net.

Gameplay-

Hey this games controls got it on lock every time you pull a move its perfection as you see the look of pain cross your opponents face as he goes one way and you take your ticket to the freelane for the deuce. This game plays so flawlessly that it had me wishin that EA had done the same style for NBA Live 03 for the PS2, so that I could actually have free control unlike that crap the call the full control. But its alright they get mad props for this work of art.

Fun Factor-

You'll be lovin this game as you break down your friends defense and cursin when his offense destroyers yours this game plays just as well alone as it does with a friend. Vol. 2 has you playin as if you your Doc. J, MJ, our the Hawk either way you'll be ballin like a legend makin even the nerdiest of yall the best shooter since Larry Bird.

Replay-

You'll be constantly playin tryin to unlock stuff as long as you play without takin the shortcuts out (sorry to lecture but they call me ''da professor'') it really is a long game on at least medium difficulty. So try to unlock everything within it (especially the throwbacks)!!

Conclusion-

This game is off the presses it will have everyone out there sits as if their in the games themselves. Every time you take the ball to the hole and dunk it on an opponent your head will spinnin as if your in the ''Exorcist''. Take a hint from me and cop this game real quick, oh and remember to leave your ankles at home folk.
