NBA Street V3

"Do you want that fun feeling you had when you played NBA Jam on Sega?Play this!"

Well I was waiting for this game to release for a long time.I have to say it is one game I will be playing for a while.It truly is one game I think most gamers will love even if your not into sports.

Gameplay : 9

This to me is the strongest aspect of the game.It really delivers.NBA Street V3 has introduced the trick stick which enables you to be able to do tricks with the right analog stick.You can do a different move for every 45-degree angle of the stick.This makes doing tricks that much easier.Players have been given tons of new moves to their repertoire.There is also a new interactive gamebreaker which lets you to do tricks during the middle of a gamebreaker.You can also pass it to a team mate while your in the air for more trick points. The AI is more aware and dives for balls and everything.I love it! The only reason I didn't give gameplay a 10 is because to me its way too easy to block shots.

Graphics: 10

These are the best graphics I have ever seen for a PS2 sports title.I swear the players faces look just like their real life counter-parts.The courts look real with the faded paint and the cracks in the ground. The gear looks real. Its great.

Sound: 9

The music in this game is good if your into Hip-Hop(which I am).It fits the fun feeling to this game.The voices overs sound good also.The announcer is pretty funny and keeps the game lively.

Game Modes: 10

The street challenge mode is really fun. Each day offers various challenges and different games.Every choice you make effects everything from your character to your team.There are 10 weeks.Two events you can participate in a day.When you win a event you reputation points go up and you get street points.Your rep points allows you to play at new places, and your street points allows you to buy gear and edit your skills.It will keep you occupied for a while.

The you have the all new dunk contest.Its pretty fun.You do moves in the air with the trick stick and you get judged.

Re-playability : 10
