PS2 Game Reviews: NBA Street Vol. 2 (1507 words)
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 (1169 words)
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.
