Great non-sim b-ball fun

User Rating: 8.8 | NBA Street Vol. 2 XBOX
By lukeisrad | Review Date:
What I like about basketball video games is that you've got the sims and then you've got the "others" such as NBA Street, NBA Jam, Ballers, etc. The "others" are always hugely fun on a scale that a sim could never dream of being.

If you like huge plays, a game where defense is just as strategic as offence, and lots of unlockables to quest for, this is your game.

About the defense: I've never played a basketball game where defense is just as fun as offense. You can get really good at playing some great defense and actually enjoy it.

I also like the legend mode. It is a great run at taking a Street Ball team through many tourneys, upgrading players along the way and swapping in newer/better players to your team.

If you liked Ballers, NBA Jam, or really any kind of arcade take on sports, then I don't see how you can't like this game.

I've never played the first one, so I don't know how it compares. All I know is this one is awsome.

    How many times did you hear this expression? I'm sure a good number of times. It's used in schools, street, even in gyms sometimes. But did you think it will be a video game where you can take it to the streets? EA Bi... Read Full Review
