Makes you want to go outside and dunk on your best friend.

User Rating: 10 | NBA Street V3 PS2

Everyone has played basketball with their friends before. Some people know what it feels like to beat their friend one-on-one. You will have that same feeling 10x better playing this game. Every time you dunk on your opponent, you just wish you could do that in real life.

The graphics in this game are great.ing effects are sweet, making the game look elegant and bona fide. They look realistic to real players,cThere are a lot more options in this game such as creating your own court and your own character. You could re-create yourself on your block. You also have a large selection of footwear, headwear, and clothes for you to customize your created player's look. These outfits look so cool. Just imagine creating a guy seven feet tall with a tilted cap, a White T (C), short jeans, and white Nike (C) sneaks shooting a 3-pointer over a uniformed NBA Superstar (TM). It really makes the whole Street concept a lot cooler.

Also adding to the feel of the fun is the music. This game is dominated by Hip Hop (TM) and Rap (C) music (including a little Beastie Boy favorite), so you'll most likely be bobbing your head when you go to Europe (R) to make that long range jumper. You've also got commentary by Bobbito Garcia (R) during the game.

The new Trick Stick feature is spectacular. You can pull off all kinds of tricks just by tilting the right analog. Doing tricks not only makes you look cool, but also builds up your combo meter, in which you can use to build up your Gamebreaker (R). You already know what that is, right? If not, you're in for a surprise.The new Gamebreaker has been remodelled so that you can customize your sweet finish. Tilting the right analog while doing a Gamebreaker (TM) dunk allows you to do Under-the-Legs (C), Behind-the-Back (TM), and Windmill (R) dunks, and then pass it to a partner for an Alley-Oop finish. It's really innovative.

There is a lot in this game to do which provides a lot of replay value. This is a great basketball to play not only by yourself but also your best friend that you usually beat in basketball at the playground.
