This game is the best arcade basketball game on the market, hands down. It's rare to find a game that is both fun and funny, but NBA Street covers both of those categories. First, let's talk about the pros of this game.

Pros:
Great graphics and player motions
Hilarious commentary from Joe "the Show" Jackson
Cool bonus players and street courts to unlock
Good balance between skill levels
"Street School" mode to help you learn how to play the game
Michael Jordan!!
Real NBA players
Hilarious things happen in the game (doing fancy trick moves to make opponents fall, messing up on an alley-oop pass and it flies off of the backboard all the way to the other side of the court, packing someone, knocking people on their back when they are 10 feet in the air)
Unique codes (beach ball, soccer ball, authentic or casual uniforms, explosive rims, tiny players, big heads)

Cons:
A little too short
Too easy at times
Gamebreakers are good, but sometimes give more skilled players an unfair advantage

As you can clearly see, the pros greatly outweigh the cons. This game is the NFL Blitz of basketball, and it is much better than other arcade basketball titles such as NBA Jam or NBA Showtime.
I am a basketball fan, but I don't think you'd have to be one to enjoy this game. A must Buy!

PS2 has finally put out a basketball game worth playing. Before I had to pull out the Dreamcast for the best NBA action on a console with the NBA2k1. If your a fan of HangTime or NBA Jam, then this is the game for you. Allen Iverson type cross overs, N.Y.'s Rucker Park type street action, enough trash talk for all ... playing street players and it carries all NBA teams with their top 5 best players (and no!..the Lakers aren't the best squad on the game). No fouls, no calls just lace'em up and bring on your "A" game. Take your best game along with Micheal Jordan (MIKE IS BACK) into the street mode to beat the best NBA/Street teams and receive one of their players to add to your team or receive player points to create your own Street super star. What trip me out the most was seeing the female POP group "3LW" on the court making my game look real weak. The 1st night this game hit my home, 7 friends came over and stayed up until 3am perfecting their cross overs skills and killer triple alley oop dunks. (... ... insured the long stay) The only problem I have with the game is the announcer. He sounds like a brotha from deep counrty Mississippi who moved to NY and picked up some hip-hop slang. "BLING-BLING"...... they could've left that phrase out. Great game, sure to keep yours thumbs sore from hours of play.

NBA Street is an awesome game, Joe "The Show" Jackson is the announcer in all games. You get to play in Pacific Boulevard in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, South Beach in Miami, Florida, Route 66 in Phoenix, Arizona, Beacon Hill in Boston, Massachuttsets (if you beat Biggs (Lewis Barker) in the circuit), Broad Street in Philadelphia, Pennslyvania (if you beat Bonafide (Carlito Vargas) in the circuit), The Loop in Chicago, Illinois, Fort Point in San Fransisco, California, Yakatomi Plaza in Los Angleles, California (if you beat Takashi Sato in the circuit), Rucker Park (if you beat Stretch or MJ in the circuit) and The Cage in New York City, The Yard in Detroit, Michigan (if you beat Drake Evans in the circuit), and Venice Beach in California (if you beat Donovan Jones in the circuit)!
