street hoops

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.

Off tha Chain!

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

This is a fun game for Xbox, I love it and all I got is the demo, it make me want to sell my Inside Drive game and buy this. You can do all kinds of thing on this game from buying clothes to jewlery with the money you win. You can play with all of the And1 guys and other streetball players this game is a tight game and I am going to make sure that I get it next.

Rent it, don't buy it

I was going to buy this game but instead I rented it to try it out first. Good thing I did. I played the demo and I thought it was cool. Something different in the sports world. But for the most of this game it is all dunks. The dunks are cool and all, but it seems like thats all it is. I would say rent the game (or buy if you really want to) and play the game with your friends. I got sick of the game after a few hours. The game mode is limited to just playing 'games'. No specials like practice mode, making plays, or duck contests (oddly enough is what this game is mostly about 'The dunks'). Anyhow, I think its a cool idea in the basketball gaming, but a bit to go to get 5 stars.

This game is off the chain

I absoulutley love this game. I just got my xbox with halo, street hoops, mlb slugfest, microsoft constroller s, and rf adapter. Lets get back to the topic. In this game you can unlock xzibit, lil romeo, master p, and I heard at cheatcc.com you can unlock bow wow. It is awesome how you can talk trash, give an elbow, play 1 on 1 through 5 on 5, make you own character, win money and spend it on jewerly, shoes, clothes, and a hell of a lot more. I love this game just has much as halo and mlb slugfest combined in a way. Maybe in street ball 2 there will be drive bys and you have to duck or die but that's a different story. You are a lover or non-lover of basketball get this game.

good bad

this is by far the most boring excuse for a basketball game ive ever played. true the extra features like the pawn shop and betting on your team were a good idea, but the soundtrack had all of what 6 or 7 different songs? as for the game play, it is god awful, obviously more time was spent on the extra features and not the gameplay.
