Amazon.com Review
We could say that NBA Street 2 is the shizzle, or the sheezy, or the shizzit, but we won't--even though it is. You'll get enough street talk playing the game. Street 2 is just the best basketball game yet. Although it is an official NBA product, the fact that it's playground ball liberates Street 2 from the confines of fan reverence. Instead, especially in the "Be a Legend" option, it has a great sense of humor about itself. The boss of each city, once defeated, can be added to the player's roster--and although they are caricatures, they're fondly and funnily done. Among the best are Stretch (a dunker from Harlem), Dime (a female ballstealer who resembles the singer Pink) and Osmosis (an Oakland version of "It" player Yao Ming). Our prediction? Kids who see Street 2 will not only want to play the game, they'll want to be street legends themselves when they grow up. And speaking of kids: parents couldn't find a kid- or teen-friendlier game. There's no adult language, and the color commentary is fantastic. It's much improved from the original game's repetitive "MJ, go on with your bad self" patter. Bobbito Garcia, a real-life streetball announcer, should get a "nice work" bonus. For that matter, so should the ambience-noise guys, who included, for example, a single cellphone ring in the background. Clever. Those not inclined to love sports games should trust in Street 2--it's visually brilliant, witty, and don't-take-it-away-from-me addictive. True basketball fans should get this game immediately, if not sooner. They'll best appreciate that all the old time players have their moment in the sun; for example, 5,000 points unlocks Dr. J, and a billboard between sets advertises Bill Russell and other pioneers. Classic hip-hop from artists like MC Lyte rounds out the impressive package. Kudos to gamemaker EA Sports Big for taking it to the hole. --Jennifer Buckendorff

 Pretty Good.... September 24, 2007
This game is pretty good. It's deffinetly not as good as NFL Street, though. In the game you have a very wide selection of NBA players from Michael Jordan to Larry Bird to Shaquille O'Neil. The graphics are pretty bad to tell you the truth. That's one of the main flaws in the game. I like the idea of 'Be a Legend'. It's cool. The gameplay is waaaay over the top. None of this stuff is believable. I mean, they defy the laws of gravity!!! It's cool and all, but completely unrealistic! I would reccomend this game for basketball fans and fans of NFL Street. Otherwise, you may not even want to rent this game. Personally, though, I like this game.
 Classic game! Multi-player games are OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! July 11, 2006

Like all great games, this game is addictive. Be A Legend mode reels you in and doesn't let you go. You'll be customizing your baller, practicing trick moves and dunks, and battling ballers with mad game till the break of dawn, or later.
The game's controls are unbelievably precise. Once you get them down completely, you will feel a freedom most sports games don't allow you. You will be throwing down back 2 papas, off the heezays, and double gamebreakers with pride as your opponents scramble for the ball.
On legendary, Be A Legend mode is truly challenging, but it's the most rewarding way to play the game. One of the most exciting moments in the game is when you finally "crown" one of your baller's attributes. And once you max a player out, the game is more fun than ever. If you really want to be crazy (like me), play the game until you've accumulated enough points to max out at least 6 players, but make sure each one has a different crown (steals, dunks, shots)...
Then play 4-man multi-player with those ballers! Then you will be to the heart of what makes this game a classic. Also, when playing multi-player, be sure to put the difficulty mode on legendary. This will make each team's computer player participate better.
The multi-player aspect of this game is the absolute best part. There have been weeks on end during which my friends and I would do nothing but play this game. The laughs were endless! The victory and humiliation were sick! We couldn't get enough. There aren't many games than can beat the sheer excitement of two vs. two multi-player in NBA Street Volume 2.
I've never played the first Street, but I tried playing the third one not long after it came out. I wasn't convinced. It had new features that seemed cool (like the slam dunk contest), but it lacked the all-around goodness of volume 2. In all honesty, I think volume 2 is the only one you'll ever need.
Also, the music selection is good, the character physics are impressive, and the variety of courts is cool. The icing on the cake is fine-tuning a character to have all of your favorite tricks, dunks, and apparel so that you can trash your buddies with unforgiving majesty! Dah hahahaha!!!
I want to personally thank EA Sports (EA Big) for this game. They really accomplished something special here. Get yourself and your friends into this game. You will not regret it.
This is easily one of the most fun and addictive multi-player games available for the Playstation 2.
This is classic!!!
Love it July 2, 2005
This games is so fun. Once I blew off a Usher concert to play this game. I started and couldn't stop playing. I competed the game 11 times. I am now on my 12th time. You will LOVE this game. It has actual commentaries in it. The players also talk. Two thumbs up
The best of the best! April 14, 2005

I like this game especially the new gamebraker and the "off the heazy" and the " Back 2 Papa" technique. It was even better with all the street legends: Earvin Johnson, Larry Bird, James Worthy, Isiah Thomas, Clyde Drexler, Moses Malone, Dominique Wilklins, Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, David Thompson, Rick Barry, Connie Hawkins, Bill Walton, Julius Erving, Walt Frazier, Earl Monroe, George Gervin, Pete Maravich, Oscar Robertson, Elgin Baylor, Bill Russell, and last but not least Michael Jordan. I give this movie a 5 out of 5.
Mike D come and rock the sure shot! January 22, 2005
Great sports game because it combines the action of basketball with its own sense of fun, irreverence and personality -- the gameplay is amazing, the announcer is hilarious, the hip hop soundtrack is tremendously good, the players and their abilities are precise and unique and the AI serves up plenty of surprises. Plus, you can create your own characters (mine is fat with a huge afro and he dresses like a bum but he's great at long range shots).
I don't play many sports games. They're great and all but I'm more of a GTA devotee - I like shooting, I like driving, I like blowing stuff up. Still, the weekend after someone loaned me their copy of this game, I had to buy it, it was just too much fun, and even a year later continue to pop it in and play away.
