The biggest addition for this new version is that you can play with some of the greatest players of all time like: Magic, Wilt, Bird, Clyde, Doc J, etc.

You will find new moves, new dunks and now you have different shot styles. Some of the characters of the first vol. are still here like Stretch Monroe and now he is faster (in the first version he wasnt only slow but weak on the dunks), now he is the player you expect him to be. You can create you own team mixing NBA stars, NBA legends and Street Legends, imagine a team with Shaq, Stretch, Magic, Dominique and AI???? The difference in this vol. 2 is that your team can only have 5 players, i would have liked a bigger roster.

A new game mode is "Be a legend" in wich you create a player and a team and start playing against street ballers and legends, all over the country, and in different challenges like games without gamebrakers, only dunks, etc. The game also includes a new and revamped "create player" mode, this new version includes whole lot more looks, and includes shoes, jerseys, haircuts and more.

The music is good too, in the first version the soundtrack included several songs from The Herbalizer(from the prestiguous Ninja Tune label) that was great, now the soundtrack includes Talib Kweli and Dilated Peoples (both from Rawkus), Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Lords of the Underground and Black Sheep, hip hop fans can you ask for more???

One last thing, for all Knicks fans the roster includes McDyess, this is a good chance to see him on uniform and playing.

The game is exactly as it describes itself. You play NBA ball on the streets with real NBA players. Street rules are in play, so there is no travel, carrying, fouls, goaltending, or double dribble. You can do also the latest moves from the street and the rosters are fairly updated.

The thing that really sold me on the game was the create a baller option and taking him on the road. It's fun to develop him and beat the best street ballers in the world. Great option to the game.

This is a fun multi player game. I hook it up and play with my bros all the time and we always have a good time. The game doesn't get old.

Like I said earlier, this is a must for all video basketball game fans. You won't regret it.
