NBA Street debuts on the next-generation systems. Unfortunately, some may like the older NBA Street games more.

User Rating: 7 | NBA Street Homecourt X360
NBA Street debuts on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, so we expect it to be a notch up from the NBA Street V3. Unfortunately, it's not quite that way.

Unlike V3, Homecourt has taken a lot away from the Career mode. Instead of recruiting a long list of recruitable characters, including legends, on V3, you are left with the not-as-good players to recruit. You can only recruit 3 members too, which is bad compared to recruiting up to 5 players in V3.

Career mode is also disappointing because it's the repetitive nonsense over and over again. You choose what challenge you want to take, play the game, and win or lose. If you win, you advance to the next area. Try that many times...it gets old. Plus, you can't create a court or have Dunk Contests and random tournaments. It's like the game is trying to disappoint those who loved the NBA Street V3 career mode.

Graphics are nice in the game, but they aren't exactly top-notch.

The gameplay gets very repetitive and frustrating at times. Your team may end up with terrible players or the other teams you face may feel like they are cheating. Even the achievements aren't great. You can probably get all 16 (that's right only 16) achievements in a day or two.

This game is alright for a rental, casual gaming when you're bored with other games, or for trying to increase your gamerscore.

I'm a little disappointed because I thought this game would be awesome. But you'll probably play it a few times and get bored. Don't get suckered into buying, please just rent or borrow it first. You'll thank me later.

If you want a good NBA Street game, I'd suggest NBA Street V3 over this. It's cheaper and a lot better.
