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.

You get the game...you start having fun...you can hardly make a 3 point shot... you think your doing good and then when you get about 8 points and your winning...the computer starts playing against you...the computer makes about 9 3 point shots in a row and dosn't let you score...! Let me save you so much agrovation a please don't get it trust me...it's not worth it!

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.

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.

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

Does it have game?

Harlem Globetrotters' manager once said, "It's important for our players tp learn how to play basketball well before they learn how to perform their flashy moves." Wise man, indeed. Street Hoops dosen't seem to have learned this leason, as the basketball itself is lacking in comparison to the amount of culture and attidue. The up-and-down court action is missing speed and excitement, with player moves that look very nice at times and pretty bad at others. There is an overall feeling that the game is missing energy and trying to make up for it with crowd-pleasing moves and music. When you get of the court the title customization area where you can dress up, primp and pamper your players with money you have, and earn more by betting on games and performing well. From there you can unlock videos and special characters; the options here are quite impressive. Street Hoops is not a bad game.. it just puts too much focus on the extra features and not enough on the basketball itself.

This game wears off very quickly. After you have seen the limited repertoire of fancy moves, there is little left to show. The game action is slow and methodical. Graphics are about average. The music is okay, but nothing special. I give it a 3 because it can be used to kill lots of time.

good bad

OK this game is tight if u are a fan of the and1 mixtapes and u know what they're all about. If u want nba players, they are not meant for a street game, they are meant for an NBA game. This game has got all the ballers from the and1 mixtapes such as hot sauce, AO, 1/2 man, ect. But no skip to my lou! i was dissapointed when i got this becuz u have to earn the and1 guys, and u have to win a lot to get um. Also, u cant do a lot of and1's best moves such as puting the ball through a defender's legs, puting it around they're head, and a lot of the nastiest and craziest street moves that they invented! They gotta make a street hoops 2 which has got updated moves that will make u jump out of ur seat when u see um!! rent this, dont buy.
