If I had a choice it wouldn't even recieve one star. This game was horrible in almost all aspects of gameplay. The whole game was based souly on mini-games, which are dull and lifeless. This game is an utter dissapointment, I reccomend no one to buy this game. Now stop reading this and go find a good game to play.

SUCKS!

This game is known as the worst game I ever bought. I've owned it for about a year and even though it looks fun on the back don't get it. The idea of the game is to have enough money at the start of school to pay the bully. What you have to do to get the money is by helping them on all of the kids problems. You then have to do their challenges like winning games of marbles, dodgeball or volleyball. The big problem is you have to play marbles at the start and can't play any other games! Another huge problem is what the hell is Chemistry Doing in it.

what the hell is this supposed to be

this game is pathetic. it has horrible graphics a pointless story. the only thing that was even worthy of metion was the minigames which were quite awful. the gameplay is sorely lacking and the whole thing remained pointless all the way trough. this is a definite worst game of the year candidate. i cant beleive this junk is even out there. whatever you do unless you are 5 years old do not buy this game. get any other game. if you want a best buy gert rachet and clank or ssx 3.

I had the chance to play My Street for the PS2,and for an older gamer I would have to say its pretty lame.The games look like mediocre computer games,and they are all basically the same.For a kindergardener that has to play online,maybe ok,but a big downside is there is hardly ever anyone online playing it.Probabbly busy watching mold grow.

Worst game ive ever played

This game is so bad, it accuatly gave me diahhirah. Right when i popped this game in the crappy music ruined it for me. It was fun for the first 2 minutes. There are some funny mini games, but thats all it is. Mini games. IT SUCKS. If your lookin for some puzzlin fun and you are under the age of 3, by all means, pick this title up. But if you like video games, Avoid this game.

Pros- I never have to play this game again
Cons- This game exists

Twenty dollars, that's what I spent on this game. And I am glad I didn't spend anymore. I've never heard of My Street before buying it, and I guess anything I might have read in magazines slipped under my radar cause it never seemed interesting enough. I found this little game at my local Wal-Mart for less than twenty dollars. There are two reasons why games drop in price.

1. It's a greatest hit and the publisher has already made more profit than God, so the licensed console company convinces them to drop prices to increase hardware sales.

2. It's a giant chain store and the game has been sitting in the store warehouse so long that the manufacturer doesn't even recognize it to give the store credit for newer games. In a vain attempt to make up cost, the chain sets out a price drop of about 60%. This makes room in the warehouse and pays for the cost of the product, and usually promotes other software and hardware sales. (The famous loss leader)

I'm afraid My Street was the latter of the cases. As a gamer and a father, I am constantly on the look out for high quality games that my son can play also. After a brief stint of my five year old wanting to play SOCOM: US Navy Seals, and my vast library of multiplayer PC games (all two of them) I decided it was time to get my son some online gamage. My street seemed like a Godsend. Kids as main characters, simple mini games that reminded me of some classic 8 bit games and online gaming with parental control (birthday settings). It was time to get my son hooked up to the net and only for twenty measly bucks. I get the game home; it's about nine in the evening when I walk through the door, so my wife had already put the tike to bed. I decide to try the game out (as any loving gaming addict of a father would do). I start off with the story mode. It was semi interesting but a little lame, not to mention the flawless AI made playing the simplest of games harder than half the games I owned. Okay, let's move on to single player open mode, no story here, it should be better, right? Wrong, I found myself with the same type of AI problems, and it got boring cause seven mini games just don't cut it (someone please look at how Mario Party became so popular and copy it). I also noticed just how sloppy the navigation controls were too. But I didn't get this game for silly single player... it was online time. Okay, had my settings all ready, started connecting and... a total of six lobbies with one person playing... me. Apparently everyone else in the country read the reviews and warnings of this trap of a game. So now I'm still stuck with my five year old bugging me to play "daddy's grown up games". The only difference now is that I have a twenty dollar coaster sitting on my media shelf.

Not great but...

I bought this game a while ago thinking that it might be a little bit like Shenmue for kids but...it aint. While the game does have a large world to explore, for the most part you can't interact with much of it, the world is mostly a giant painting you move around in. You also can't explore as much of it as I would like. Your characters mom seems to have the ability to telepathically know when your near the edge of town and prevents you from going farther. I wanted to head over to the school but nooo. The games were pretty fun but you have to beat them pretty quickly if you want to beat the game. The key is to get the chicken game out of the way as quickly as possible so you can start making money to save up for a RC car. The RC cars are probably the most difficult of the games with a small window of error.
The funnest game to play for me was volleyball. The lamest for me was that stupid chicken game. I didn't know what was going on half the time. Just get enough arrows in the chicken's path and hope for victory.
Although the games are pretty fun at times, the real reason to buy this game is to create the freakiest kid ever. I probably spent more time creating different freaky kids. If you beat the game then you can unlock even wierder faces The voices for the kids are silly, particularly the girl voices. "The piggies must lose." Good stuff.
At any rate, it's not that great a game but if you always wanted to run around town as Hannibal Lecter Jr. then this might be right up your alley.
P.S. The piggies must lose!

This game rocks!

I think think this game is pretty good! I mean, you get to make your character! But there is some low points. Like, I picked up a chew toy for the bully`s dog... but I cound not fuger out how to give to the dog!! But oh well...

First, I should point out that Sony took down the online servers for this game so the online feature is no longer available.

This is one of the few games out for the PS2 that is geared towards young children and I've rated it as such.

My Street is Sony's answer to Nintendo's Mario Party series of games. Overall it has moderate replay value and in the end my 4-year old son enjoys playing it but prefers Mario Party.

If you have young children and do not own a Gamecube then I would recommend getting this game, otherwise you'll want to pass on this one.
