NBA Street Vol. 2

NBA Street Vol. 2 - Xbox

If you liked the first one...

NBA Street Vol. 2 picks up right where the first installment left off. Almost every aspect of the game has been taken to the next level. You can now "pocket" a Gamebreaker and pull of a sick two Gamebreaker combo worth more points. The Create-A-Baller mode is deeper and more customizable. NBA legends now roam the court. From Bob Cousy to Dr. J to Magic, they're all there to be unlocked along with their "retro" jerseys. The visual style of the game is unique and fitting for the "over-the-top" gameplay. Last but not least, you can FINALLY play 4 players which a major improvement. The only downside is the control scheme is a little awkward. Most notably, the third turbo button is accessed by clicking the left thumbstick which is not an easy thing to do when you're also using it to move with. The sound accurately represents the game with hip-hop tracks and a mouthy, trash-talking announcer. I would have liked to see EA take advantage of the Xbox's custom soundtrack feature but as it is this game is a must buy for anyone who enjoyed the first NBA Street or who enjoys basketball, even casually.
