Three-on-three action basketball game. Like the first NBA Street, Vol. 2's roster of players comprises both fictional Street Legends and real NBA players. In addition to teams of contemporary superstars, the licensed half of the roster also includes great NBA names of yesteryear -- Julius Erving, Clyde Drexler, Dominque Wilkins, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Pete Maravich, George Gervin, Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, Bill Walton, and more. The classic players add a nice bit of leavening to the game's style, with the short shorts and high socks of the NBA's old school contrasting with today's baggy jerseys and loosened-up attitude. In total, the roster includes 145 modern players, 6 fictional Street Legends, and 25 NBA Legends.

I feel the same way about video game adaptations of true life, sports included: They should keep the bits that lend themselves to an exciting video game experience, and throw out the rest. Fun over realism, always. (This is why I don't review flight sims; I'm less concerned with accurate turn rates and stalling speeds than with having a good time.) Read More »
Pure, adrenaline-drenched style -- that's what the EA BIG factory is rolling out with no vanishing point in sight. SSX Tricky shook up the action-sports crowd with a winterized, speedy take on board-based sports; Freekstyle punched traditional motocross gurus in the groin, giving the two-wheelin' category some badly needed edge; Shox dosed the rally circuit with 21st century method and flavor; and the original NBA Street warped stadium-enclosed b-ball into a brave new world of concrete and open air.
