	The Sports Gaming Network (SGN) - Street Hoops (PS2) Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Activision joins the fray this year with Street Hoops, which aims to bring all that is stereotypical with street ball and the "gangsta" image of some NBA stars to the PS2.
		Street Hoops is afflicted with the same problem that plagued Live 2001 a few years back.
		As I was playing Street Hoops, my mind was drifting for some reason to EA's Rock the Rink, an arcade hockey title that has practically nothing in common with a hockey simulation, but was a blast to play due to the tight controls.

	Street Hoops review for the PS2
		Playground hoops has gotten all kinds of coverage over the past few years, thanks in part to those kickass Nike commercials with the mad dribbling and the success of flashy new NBA up-and-comers like Darius Miles.
		Then there was NBA Street, which not only upped the ante on NBA Jam style arcade basketball, but also brought a whole new level of gameplay to arcade sports thanks to its mishmash of simple control and SSX tricking.
		Street Hoops tries to capture the sensationalized style of hardcore playground ball, but only manages to come off as a weak, thinly veiled copycat.

	Street Hoops Review for Xbox - Gaming Age
		Street Hoops has the single greatest addition to the genre since customizable characters...
		Street Hoops professes to be somewhat more realistic, and in that vein, Black Ops has definitely succeeded.
		Street Hoops is a credible first effort, but it’s not enough to knock off NBA Street from its throne, gambling options aside.

	Street Hoops
		Street Hoops is an obvious and terrible rip off of NBA Street that should never have seen the light of day.
		However, in Street Hoops, it almost seems like your ultimate goal is to create the most laced out, afro topped, gangsta' superstar, and it doesn't matter how they play, as long as they have 15lb gold chains swinging around their necks.
		Street Hoops does offer a wide variety of gameplay modes, such as the main Championship Mode, as well as varying levels of full and half court play.

	The Armchair Empire - Xbox Reviews: Street Hoops
		Street ballers play for the love of the game on the paved courts and urban playgrounds of America, not the love of the almighty dollar and adoration of the masses.
		This is the game of basketball that Activision is hoping to capture with Street Hoops for the Xbox, a title similar in spirit but not in its execution to the excellent EA Big Sports’ NBA Street.
		Street Hoops’ soundtrack employs the sounds of a lot of today’s rap and urban music stars, including Method Man and Redman, DMX, Master P, Cypress Hill, Xzibit, and Ludacris.

	DreamStation.cc :: Street Hoops :: PlayStation 2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Street Hoops has been compared to NBA Street but I think it is more like a street version of NBA 2K or NBA Live.
		Street Hoops' sound options give you a lot to choose from but some of the announcing and taunts get a little repetitive.
		Street Hoops is a decent basketball game that will definitely appeal to people who are part of the street basketball culture.

	Planet GameCube Review: Street Hoops (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		However, at its heart, Street Hoops is clearly an attempt at attaining the same market niche NBA Street capitalized on over a year ago, with many of the exact same game elements.
		These cosmetic elements distinguish Street Hoops from its urban hoop brethren, but the bottom line is that they don't alter the core gameplay, which comes as the title's most disappointing element.
		Street Hoops just doesn't feel authentic in terms of conveying the gritty aspects of playground ball -- the physics are completely nutty (folks fly through the air like they've just seen Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), but what's worse is that the A.I. isn't sound or realistic.

	IGN: Street Hoops Review
		Street Hoops doesn't quite make that connection (more on that later), but all of the pieces for a surprisingly genuine street basketball experience are all in place.
		Street Hoops was a struggle to get to know, but in the end it's not as bad as I initially thought it would be.
		At its core, Street Hoops is a weak playground simulator with a little basketball thrown in on the side.

	PSGF - Street Hoops Review
		Street Hoops by Black Ops Entertainment manages to capture the essence of street basketball while delivering a solid game in the meantime.
		It would be all too easy to dismiss Street Hoops as a mere NBA Street-clone, but it would be unfair to do so.
		Street Hoops manages to not only hold it’s own against the reigning king of arcade basketball games, but surpass it in many areas.

	GameSpy: Street Hoops Review
		EA's NBA Street was a kick -- a chance to take the typical hoops sim to the fltop.
		Street Hoops suffers almost out of the gate by a lack of game modes and the ridiculously tough AI.
		Adding to the street credit of Street Hoops is what you get to do between games.

	The Adrenaline Vault \| PlayStation 2 Review \| Street Hoops (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		I walk past the cage on West 4th in New York City every day, and there's usually a massive crowd clinging to the chickenwire, no matter what time it is. Naturally, there's some serious 5-on-5 going down on the court, but little did I know that this was the most famous park in the world.
		Street Hoops is a DVD dripping with ersatz gangsta style, but although the presentation is chock full of casual stereotypes, there's plenty of things to do in this title.
		If you have two multitaps lying around, Street Hoops is ready for up to eight players, and multiplayer is available for all five modes.

	The Armchair Empire - GameCube Reviews: Street Hoops
		If Activision’s Street Hoops (SH) were an NBA team, they’d beat the Grizzlies but it sure doesn’t mean they’d win a Championship.
		Since a small minority will know anything about the street ballers in SH there’s a learning curve when it comes to figuring out who’s who, their strengths and weaknesses, and even what position they play.
		Street Hoops could be a strong basketball contender – it has all the equivalent modes and features plus some moderate challenge from the AI – if it learns from it’s shortcomings and does something to address them.

		A street (rhymes with 'feet') is a strip of land, smoothed or otherwise prepared to allow easier travel along itslength.
		The word “street” is often used synonymously with “ road ”,but the former term implies a greater degree of street life, particularly in urban areas.

		If NBA Street started with a cast of crazy characters, a la SSX, and let me unlock the pros, it might be more fun for me, but as it is, it just feels like I’m playing to boost the egos of these bigheaded buffoons.
		Street Hoops is the best basketball game thats ready to knock out all the basket ball games thats out right now.

		Street Hoops takes the game to the asphalt where the real kings of the court play.
		Street Hoops is a game that had a lot of potential but somewhere along the line it totally lost track of the reason gamers and sports fans like myself would like to play basketball to the extreme level.
		Street Hoops isn’t as challenging as it should be and blame can be placed on the shoddy AI of the opponents.

		All the moves that you would expect for street ball are included: the hard foul, hand checking, several variations of rim rattling dunks, taunts, the give and go, crossovers and jukes.
		Street Hoops even includes training videos to quickly familiarize yourself with the moves.
		Kudos to Activision for including this useful feature, but as nice as the selections of moves are, they just aren’t enough to carry the game play and you quickly find yourself repeating a couple of the moves over and over again.
