User Rating: 8 | NBA Street Showdown PSP
This game is pretty good if you want to find out why pleas read my review of it.

Game play: The game play is great seriously, for a psp game this game is addictive. It's a fun street basketball game where you really don't do much except just play street basketball. Well it's pretty cool because you can do a whole bunch of cool tricks and dunks and the game has very easy controls which make you get more into it. There are also plenty of cool modes you can play. One is king of the court where you create your own character (his looks, cloth, height, weight.) You can change your characters look any time but not his height or weight, but you can purchase new cloth and chains for you to wear. Once you create a character you can start playing, you go from court to court and you have to play teams in each one, then you have to play the owner of the court, if you defeat him you get the court and advance to the next court/city. Every time you win a match you get DEV points, dev or development points help you increase your players stats (shooting, dunking, blocking and so on.) Every time you win a match you also get to choose an opponent to be in your team. When playing there are a lot of neat things you can do such as perform moves/tricks, do super cool dunks, shoot or lay up, block, steal, get rebounds. Also if you played the past NBA streets you would know about the game breaker and game breaker 2, the game breaker is a special move that when it is used it gives you the points from where you shot and its decreases 1 point from your opponents score, it also give you a lot of trick points. Game breaker 2 is similar but it cannot be missed and its gives you 1 extra point from where you shot, also it decreases your opponent's score by 2 points. To get the game breaker you have to get a lot of trick points until the bar/meter is full, to get game breaker 2 you have to this twice. Other modes include shot blocker, arcade shoot out and quick play. In shot blocker you have to jump in the air to block the ball being shot from the opponents. Arcade shootout you have to aim and shoot the ball to the basket you have, to score a certain amount of points before time runs out to win the match. In quick play you just play a regular game just that you choose your NBA team and also some NBA legends (too bad Jordan isn't on this game.) You can also create your own team in this game but you have to have created enough players to do this. This game also has local play even though I never did play local play.

Graphics: For the psp this game has excellent graphics, there is not much I can really say about the graphics their just good.

Sound: The sound is okay but not that good. Sometimes the dunking does not feel or sound that good and there are no voices period. But its not that bad trust me there are games with a lot worse sounds.

Overall this game is fun and addicting its just plain fun.
