When I rented this game at All The Best video, I was stunned at how fun this was! First you get to create your own wacky character with cool hats and sunglasses! Then you go around the neighborhood talking to the characters, but you can only talk to the characters, get inventory items etc. in story mode. Play mode is just about playing the games in the neighborhood and nothing else. Here are a list of all the games that you can play and my comments.

MARBLES
This game is frustrating at first, but you should get the
hang of it sooner or later.

VOLLEYBALL
This game is pretty fun ,but very hard.

CHEMISTRY
This game is about putting the same color squares
together and when in laser mode you can zap as
many squares as you want until time runs out. This
game is very cool and fun.

LAWN MOWERS
This game is about racing Lawn Mowers. It sounds
pretty weird doesn't it? This game is very hard to
control and I haaven't mastered it yet.

CHICKEN HERDING
Okay this is the weirdest game that's in My Street.
You try to lure chicks and chickens in your little
chicken house. It's very frusterating when the pig
gets in there. You lose 200 hundred points!

RC Racing
This is just like Lawn Mowers only the tracks are a
little different. I like this just as much as Lawn
Mowers.

DODGEBALL
This is my all time favorite game! You play in the
School Gym with no gym teachers.

I hope this review was helpful so, buy this game you won't
regret it!

must own game

This is a must owm game. Those fans of the Sims this is the game for you. with different kinds of compitition, this game is hard to put down. It's easy to figure out so you will never get bored with just running around just looking for people to play with. Another strong point on this game is the multiplayer and online feature. One tip, ALWAYS obey your mother. This is mindless fun for all ages. I give it a well deserved 5 out of 5.

Parent Review.. They loved it.

I purchased this game for my preschool ages daughter. I was surpised my 6th grader and 7th grader loves this game. They play marbles, dodge ball run thru this nieghborhood getting into trouble or playing with PS2 friens. They compete with each especially the marbles. It very good for the creative minded child because they get to creative there own looks and can change the clothes. The mom calls out get out of the water, time for bed. They can buy toys at the store as they run thru the neighborhood looking for adventures. PS my preschool play game with the help of the older ones. In this game she can go to the playground all by herself.

awsome

This game is awsome. I just got it and I am already having fun with it. I could bearly find it at stores. In story mode I can not beat the last round of volly ball. I cant get that stupid cow out of the barn. When volly ball boy (otherwise known as shaun)says that the bully kicked his ball in the lake and you go to the lake your mom says that you cant go to the lake without your mask and fins. To get mask and fins you have to beat all of the rounds of marbles. when you do Marble girl (other wise known as Anne)Will be your friend and she will let you use her toys when ever you want. They are in front of her house. Pick them up and change into them in your room. Swim to the island and pick up the ball. go to volly ball boy.(Shaun) And play. Get this game!

Not worth it !

I rented this game for my children yesterday and it had to be the worst game I/they have ever played. We didn't play it on-line but I think that would have been a greater waste of our time.

My complaint: if you play the story you have to go around the neighborhood and talk to all of the kids, each kid has a problem or an item they need help with. I've played at least 30 games of marbles (the 3rd level) and have yet to beat it. There is nothing else to do ! My assumption is that once you beat the 3rd level something will change or you can move onto another house or challenge, but as a 30-something year old that has been playing video games over 20 years I think it is ridiculous to expect a child to enjoy this. (My 6-year old played this for 20 mins. before he gave up. On another note he loves Kingdom Hearts !)

I would not recommend this to anyone for any reason !

its fun but could be better

I read a lot of reviews on the net about this game before deciding to purchase it. I am a 21 year old gamer so I was a little hesitant to purchase this game thinking that it may be a little too "young" for me. Most reviews you will read will tell you the control is really awkward. I have found no real problems with the control. The buttons are of course different for evergame so you need to keep the manual out, memorize them or just write them down someone...its not that tough. As for sound..well lets just say i would rather listen to records while i play this game. The voices are very annoying and the music is well music. To take care of this issue i just keep the volume off and listen to my records. As for online play, the biggest reason i was interested in this game, well its decent. The online play is much better than atv offroad fury 2 but not at all as good as tony hawk proskater 4. The biggest flaw is that the game doesnt support a usb keyboard. My guess on why is because sony hasnt made an official ps2 usb keyboard yet so in their eyes they dont exist. You have to type your messages in on screen and thats just way to slow and very annoying. At this point in time there are not a whole lot of people online playing this which is a shame because the game it self it tons of fun and can be pretty addicting. I am hoping because this game is still so new that more players will be picking it up soon and playing online.

The game looks very childish but is actually pretty fun and addicting. It does have its few small flaws but you can overcome those pretty easily. The game is obvisouly not going to be to everyones taste so if your unsure your probably going to want to rent first.

My 8 year-old loves it

(PS2 version)

I finally had to break down and buy this game for our kids for Xmas. Nearly everytime we'd go to the rental store my 8yo son would want to rent it. (Son 8, daughter 5, son 3).

I've read the reviews here and find it really interesting the huge gap in opinions.

For the most part my kids never played the story mode. Although my son found it interesting once I got him to try it. They preferrred to play in game mode where they could simply choose which game to play.

Other than volleyball they seem to have little problems playing the mini-games. Marbles and dodgeball is their favorite.

I've played along with them and have found no issues with control or graphics. Yes, the name-calling of the characters is extremely obnoxious and border-line rude. I'm not sure it will teach kids positive behaviors in that respect. Still the games are fairly entertaining.

Certainly I wouldn't recommend spending a ton of money for this game but if you can find it for $20-$25 there's a good chance it will get some good playing time.

This game is the *stupidest game ever made. It says the game is educational but in truth I actually got *stupider by playing this Sims knockoff. The game isn't even suitable for an infant just pressing buttons because if an infant does, by chance, glance at the screen they will suffer from dislexia now imagine if they actually played it, were talking brain damage too severe to recover from. Now the game hadn't really affected me too much because my brain has already developed. The truth is this is a horrible game that I wouldn't even giveaway. (*the spelling errors were to show effectiveness, but still play at your own risk.)

Well its ok
