Topic: NBA Street Vol 2


  
  PS2 Game Reviews: NBA Street Vol. 2
NBA Street was considered by many to be the spiritual successor to NBA Jam, which really put over-the-top, arcade-style basketball on the map.
NBA Street added to this by moving the game out of the arena and bringing the game outside to street courts, where some of the best basketball talent has been developed.
NBA Street also added special fake moves which could be linked together with dunks or alley-oop passes to rack up "trick points", which measured a player's style and command of the game.

 NBA Street Vol.2 Review // PS2 /// Eurogamer
NBA Street Volume 2 is one of those.
And as you gradually unlock the vast roster of NBA legends past and present, you'll be able to adopt their signature moves for your own ends, like Michael Jordan's slam dunk from the free throw line.
As we said at the top of the review, NBA Street Volume 2 is one of those games that truly can appeal to anybody, despite throwing around more big names than Operation Ore and offering true fans of the sport a virtual masterclass.

 NBA Street Vol. 2 Review for PlayStation 2 - Gaming Age
The atmosphere of NBA Street is enhanced by its music tracks, and the announcer; who providers hours of comic relief for you if you are not playing and just being a spectator.
Gameplay wise, NBA Street vol.2 is easy to pick up, even for a person that has never really played any sort of video basketball entertainment in their life.
And for veterans of the concrete courts, NBA Street vol.2 is an extremely deep basketball title, with a crazy amount of dunks and shakes to learn and master.

 NBA Street Vol. 2 for GameCube Reviews at Shopping.com UK
NBA Street is a winner because it never seeks to step outside its limits.
The crux of NBA Street is the NBA challenge where you must fight your way through the various teams and throughout the various courts in an attempt to become the greatest street team in the States.
NBA Street is not such a game, offering an excellent defensive engine that is equally as integral as its offensive aspects in terms of both the human and AI mechanics.

 NBA Street V3 - Hoopedia
The cover of NBA Street V3 features Baron Davis, who at the time played for the New Orleans Hornets but was traded two weeks after the release of this game.
In an NBA game, the score changes become three to five points for the offense and a loss of two for the defense, amounting to a five-to-seven point swing.
NBA Street V3 was the first of the series not to feature Michael Jordan.

 The Armchair Empire - Playstation 2 Reviews: NBA Street Vol. 2
The original NBA Street was a success for Electronic Arts and paved the way for NBA Street Vol.
After enjoying many hours of the original NBA Street, I was shocked at how great Volume 2 is. There are better and deeper game modes this time around.

 NBA Street vol.2 - XBOX review
Probably next in line would have been the NBA Jam series; which was one of the first "extreme" games to come out on any platform (console or coin-op).
For you basketball purists don't be deterred by the "extreme-ness" of Street.
Visually, NBA Street Volume 2 was gorgeous to watch.

 NBA Street Vol. 2 review for the PS2
EA Big changed all that with the original NBA Street, an action-packed roundball foray overflowing with wicked juke moves, monster dunking and serious style.
Taking that a step further is NBA Challenge, which puts you up against actual NBA teams and allows you to unlock a bevy of legendary NBA players.
You can play as any NBA team or even build a custom one (with or without your custom baller) as you plow through every team in the league, not to mention one Legends team per division.

 GamingWorld X - NBA Street Vol. 2 Review
Unlocking is a major part of the gameplay found in NBA Street Volume 2, but it doesn’t come off as a cheap crutch to make you keep playing; so much so that I believe the game wouldn’t be as much fun without having to earn everything you get.
The actual NBA players themselves were done as caricatures of their actual selves, almost having a cartoonish feel to them.
This is a definite plus that increases NBA Street Volume 2’s street cred to a respectable level and away from “trying to sound street” to actually being street.

 The Sports Gaming Network (SGN) - NBA Street 2 (PS2) Review
The first NBA Street was launched with the PS2 and in terms of quality, the game was on the same level as Madden 2001.
Most of the NBA players don their appropriate headbands and tattoos, but there is plenty of personality to be had with the fictional players.
2 now has a shot called "fundamental" that allows the offensive player heading in for a dunk or a lay-up to double clutch their shot and avoid the shotblocker.

 KidScore Game Reviews NBA Stree Volume 2 | MediaWise.org
NBA Street is not about authentically reproducing a basketball game-although the moves are genuine, and technically are possible.
NBA stars, both past and present, can be used as part of the team, or kids can create their own players, to be built-up with points earned by winning games and tournaments.
2 is a fun game, even for those who are not in love with basketball.

Street 2 takes the circuit and goal based modes and revamps them completely, expanding their gameplay.
NBA ballers now look much more like their real-life counterparts, with more facial animation that can be seen, especially during close ups or replays.

 FUTURE GAMEZ - NBA Street Vol. 2 Review
The first NBA Street was EA BIG’s second title released, and set a high standard for arcade basketball games at the time (which wasn’t too hard given the demise of the NBA Jam series).
Each of the NBA players remains true to their appearance and playing style, which is quite a feat given the distorted proportions of the in-game graphics.
2 you also have the option of ‘pocketing’ a gamebreaker, whereby your meter resets, and you have the chance to build it up again to perform a level 2 gamebreaker, which is extra speccy and worth even more points.

 NBA Street Vol. 2 Review - PlayStation 2
One of the best things about NBA Street was that winning or losing wasn’t completely dependent on scoring buckets, instead it was possible to turn the tide by utilizing gamebreakers, which added points to your score while taking them away from the opponent.
But level 2 gamebreakers are vastly more cinematic in presentation and all three of your players get in on the action to perform a multi-tiered fantasy shot.
2 also excels in the sound department with tons of ambient effects that differ from court to court, realistic fltop shoe squeaking, audible cell phone rings from the audience and dynamic audience reactions, and occasional player trash talking.

 GamerDad - NBA Street Volume 2 (GC, PS2, XBOX)
If you played NBA Jam years ago, youï¾’ve got a good idea what this gameï¾’s all about, but it adds to that formula in plenty of ways to provide a desirable upgrade to both that ancient series and the first NBA Street.
NBA Challenge is standard stuff for a game of this type, but seeing your favorite players in exaggerated action is satisfying.
2 is a superb way to pass a few lazy Sundays while you wait for King James to hit the NBA floor.

Back 2 Papa: Moving towards the hoop press and hold any 2 turbos and then hit X, this will throw the ball off of the backboard and pass it to a teammate or back to yourself.
For the Mad Game you can probably get 1 or 2 of these and dunk them to be fine with the game, but on Legendary your going to need atleast one of them to be a 3-point shot unless you can block or steal enough to hold your own on them.

 Amazon.com: NBA Street Volume 2: Video Games
Street boils down to an intense, ultra-pumped game of 3-on-3 action, with the first team to score 21 points winning (one point for normal shots, two for shots made behind the arc).
Street's X-factor is the Gamebreaker shot that, if successful, subtracts a point from the opposing team's score while adding it to the shooting team's tally.
Street's only drawback (besides lack of online play) is its quick transitions; the controls make switching to the desired defensive player troublesome (imagine trying to block Shaq while you're stuck with Jason Kidd).

 GameSpy: NBA Street Vol. 2 Review
2 are the additions of a few cool moves and tricks, such as "Off the Heezay" which allows you to rebound the ball off a slow-witted opponent's forehead for major style points.
But the best new dimension is the addition of the Level 2 Gamebreaker meter -- when appropriately filled by performing combos, your team will pull off a seemingly impossible set of moves and hammer the ball home for last minute bag-pulling wins.
2 never gets complicated, it never gets boring, and it will probably remain the best sports game of the year -- especially in the eyes of those gamers not necessary obsessed with stats and realism.

 The Adrenaline Vault | PlayStation 2 Review | NBA Street Vol. 2   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The original Street, like NBA Jam before it, breathed new life into a stagnant sports genre, where releasing the next incarnation of a particular series on time is more important than adding new content or improving the presentation.
Points are granted at the conclusion of a contest based upon the chosen level of difficulty; a greater challenge results in a bigger payoff.
As daunting a feat as that is, matters are only made worse by the fact that each division is ruled by a group of elite NBA legends who must also be overcome.

But there's now the Be a Legend mode, where players can customize an athlete to their liking and hit the streets or, very much appreciated, the Street School, an institution that teaches novices the fundamentals of this style of basketball.
Street is as much about style as it is putting the ball into the hoop.
In our experience with the GCN version of Street 2, Gamebreakers can be pulled off by holding down R, L and the B button when the meter is topped out -- and yes, it's every bit as satisfying.
