NBA Street Homecourt (PS3)

By SvV_Ying, Posted 18 Mar 2009

The NBA Street serie makes it's next-gen debut, and it is defenitly a good one!

Gameplay: This game has good gameplay. It's easy to pick up and play, and once you master all trick moves and dunks it's even better, especially against some friends. Most tricks now require the trick remixer which alows you to mix al kind of tricks and get a gamebreaker quickly, the gamebreakers are even flashier than before and also a bit different, now you can also steel the bal during the opponents gamebreaker and that makes the gamebreaker your own, but offcourse you can also loose the ball again! Brand new is the double dunk which let you score 2 points with one dunk, hold the o-button till the dunk meter is full and voila...2 points. The game plays smoothly and is fun to play.

Graphics: One of most obvious things is the new graphic style. The game uses a kind of old film filter that gives the game a unique look, you like it or you hate it. I liked it. The whole game is presented in an old style, with 'old' looking menu's and old music. But back to the graphics, each baller is very detailed and the animations look good. The dunks look very flashy and over the top, but that's of course how it should be in a NBA Street game. Overal the graphics are good, not very very special or something, but just good.

Sound: The sound is what I liked most, the old hip-hop tracks are nice and match the game style perfectly. During gameplay you hear people shout from everywhere and this really adds something to the game. Sometimes it can be very relaxing to play a pick up game on easy with a nice beat on the background and just have some fun while listening to the music and all sounds.

Value: Value is discussable, if you dont have some friends to play with it's not so long, but if you have some friends to play with it gets better. There aren't alot of things to do apart from the Homecourt challange and the milestones aren't special and probably put in the game last minut. But with a friend or 2 it's alot of fun to play with/against eachtoher and make each other look stupid with all kind of cool tricks. Online is OK but nothing special.

 

Overall Score: 8/10
