Best basketball game I have ever played

User Rating: 9.6 | NBA Street V3 PS2
This is the first Street basketball game I have ever played and it is one of many basketball games I have played and I have to say this one stands out the most.

Gameplay 10/10 - NBA Street V3 is an awesomely fun game for anyone even remotely liking basketball.The controls are pretty easy to learn,with a huge trick book that is fairly straight forward and uses the turbos(R1,R2,L1,L2)in many many ways.I just finished playing Street Challenge(campaign mode where you have your own court,own baller along with 2 other default players and each day you play other teams 3-on-3 and you can pick up good ballers from teams you beat)and it was awesome.Gamebrakers are great,which you gain from getting trick points in a game.There are many great ballers from the NBA in the past(Legends)or still playing,and there are also ballers you can play or pick up that are rivals.SP is like the money you get for doing good in events and you use this money to update your ballers stats and look and update your court.Dunk contests are very fun aswell as online,create a baller and create a court.

Graphics 9/10 - I thought the graphics in V3 looked great and had no glitches in them.It's kool how they zoom in and then out when you do a wicked move with low turbo.Gamebrakers look great with how every move you do leaves glitter stuff behind floating in the air.The ballers and courts all look great and the menu screens are easy to navigate.

Sound 10/10 - The sound is great.I really enjoyed listening to the commentator with all his lines like "Swiped him with the access card" or
"That's like taking a bandage off a guys arm,he stripped him!".He reminded me alot of the guy from the street ball show AND1("OH BABY!OH BABY!")The music is great,especially for people who like hiphop and rap.I listen to rock music and I thought it was pretty good.All the basketball sounds like swishes,dunks and dribbling are good too.

Value 10/10 - This game is totally worth your buck.It has a lengthy campaign and you can keep play pickup games and dunk contests anytime which means it has good replay value.I don't know how long it took me to finish off Street Challenge since I was on and off it playing other games but I bet it took me atleast 15-30hours.With it being at around $20 CDN it is definitely worth a buy.

Tilt 9/10 - NBA Street V3 is everything I wished it would be.Being the first game I have played from the NBA Street series I thought it was an awesome game and urge anybody to play it.
