This game is neat if you are used to games like NBA Shootout, but if you have played games like Live and Inside Drive you won't like this game. Every thing is really neat except the gameplay. You get to pick bling, tattoos, clothes, shoes, and even hairstyles, but how are you supposed to win when the defense makes every shot they take...

Stupidest Basketball Game Out There!

this would be a great game but it has some flaws. One is that the trash talk is so repetetive that the fans will say the same phrase twice in the game. Also it takes a long time to load. Lastly all of the uniforms look the same. You dont know who is on your team. The only good thing is that there is a bookie and you can place bets on each game.

Street Hoops is all out the best basketball game that's not affiliated with the NBA. Like the statements before you can earn x-tra loot from the games you play by betting on your team and then you can purchase anything from clothing, jewelry, tats and haircuts. It's better on the X-Box because you can play music that you have already copied on your system and play your music during a game. Good choice if you have any doubts!

Missing the point

A careful look at most of the good reviews will reveal that the reviewers are more impressed with the hype of brand name clothing and court varieties than the actual game play. Obviously, more time was spent on researching courts and players than coding the game.

First of all, team uniforms are so similar that you're not sure if you have the ball or not. (Maybe the makers of the game are color blind). By the time you figure it out, the other team would have scored. The commentary is totally tired and boring compared to other basketball games. I'm not sure what it is but sometimes its extremely difficult to see the ball. The graphics are not particularly impressive either. The views are so awkward that sometimes you only get to see the opposing team's point guard starting the offence. By the time you see any member of your team, the opposing team would have already scored. How do you defend against that?

Something else that I found mindly annoying is the fact that some courts are locked until you win there! So you have to spend all of your precious spare time playing before you get to play on the famous courts. That is just totally wrong. Its ok to lock the venues in tournament mode. But you should be able to play anywhere you like in other modes.

Lastly, the officiating is totally ludicrous. Minor taps are called as fouls and major shoves are ignored.

I really believe more time should have been spent on coding this game as it would have been a really good game since so much time was spent on other stuff that should be just gravy.

There are many better games.

Okay. Street Hoops does have great features to this game. Things such as movies to unlock, and cheats to enter. Every time you play a game, whether in Lord of the Court or in World Tournament Mode, and even in a Pick-Up game you can earn some money to pay for some great jewelry and tatoos, hairstyles and even brand clothing like And 1 and P. Miller. Sad to say, these things I just mentioned are the best part of the game.

When you are actually in the game, which is why most people play video games, sometimes you can't even tell who has the ball or not because most of the uniforms look the exact same and also, what is up with the camera views? When on defense it is really hard to block a shot and the opposing team makes 90% of the shots they take at least. So you can say the gameplay is about a 1 out of 5. The ONE thing I really hate about games is when they get repetitious and you do the same thing over and over again and thats what this game is like. You may like playing it for the first day or so, but that isn't long enought to keep you interested and you can get distracted easily.

Another poor thing in this game was the graphics. When they dunked the ball, there hands weren't even on the rim. Basically everyone in this game looks the same. Obviously, the makers of this game should have put alot more effort into gameplay and graphics than foolishness.

This is a game I would advise not to waste your money on if you haven't already
