It's not that it's a bad game--it's that it could be so much more, if only it wasn't trying so hard, and in the most shallow ways. Everything about Hoops is overly complicated, with no real payoff. The players can be personalized and stylized--you get to pick haircuts, jewelry, tattoos, and clothing. But instead of being a cherry on top of an otherwise great game, this decoration is in some ways more interesting than the actual court time. This issue of mixed-up priorities really takes root in the mechanics of the game. Considering there's no tutorial, the overly designed controller configuration gets in the way of just starting up and playing the game for the fun of it. In another example, unless you assign controllers to teams in the opening menu, the game mysteriously starts playing itself. The music is great, with songs by mainstream hip-hop artists. But the abundance of tie-in deals seems like overcompensation for poor play. Hoops sometimes feels like a catalog, heavy with ads for clothing, sneakers, and sunglasses. In a spectacular example of the obtrusiveness of this co-branding, gamers can get cheats by buying real-world Sprite (vending machines for the soda are also littered throughout the game maps). Still, there's a fair amount to recommend Hoops--mainly the presence of real-life street ballers. The opening cinematic of inspired tricking makes you want to invest the time to make this game pay off. Anyone who just wants to play a little ball with their friends--a pickup game instead of a tournament--would be better off looking to the unmatched NBA Street. --Jennifer Hauseman Pros: - Options like taunt and intentional foul evoke true baller bra

Street Hoops Is Coming!! Jul 21, 2002
By IceScorpion Oh my god I cant even begin to explain how hot this game will be. I agree with you when you said when you first saw screenshots of the game you werent sure.Recently I got a demo of this game and I have not stopped playing it!This game is gonna be so real you get to make your own baller from a list of namebrand clothes,jewlery,you own haircut and what not? It is going to be sooo much better than Nba Street.You get to bet Virtual cash on new gear.Plus, its got a hot soundtrack to play with and it supports up to five people.This is truly gonna be a good game for parties so you can dominate your friends in the game even if you cant do it in real life.Truely,after playing this game i dare say this game makes Nba Street look like a bunch of grade-school newbies playing against highschoolers...

A little bit of everything Oct 17, 2002
By RatFink617 Thisa game is awesome. I was a little weary of buying it at first, but once I started playing it, I couldn't put it down. My wife isn't a big fan of it, and I get an attitude from her when I try to show her the cool videos they have of the streetballers. I love it. Unlock the videos on the game, and sit back and enjoy some talented basketball players. People compare it to NBA Street, but I think these are two different games. NBA Street is a little too "cartoony" for my taste. The only drawback on Street Hoops, is the announcers. I just turn them off.

Solid Game Sep 03, 2002 THIS GAME IS PHAT. THE HIPHOP MUSIC ALONE MAKES THIS GAME SOLID. THE CONTROLS ARE THE SAME AS TO NBA LIVE, THE GRAPHICS ARE DECENT, NBA STREET IS BETTER. NO NBA PLAYERS BUT YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE YOUR SQUAD INCLUDING NAMEBRAND CLOTHING, BUY JEWELRY, AFROS OR CLEAN SHAVE, NO SHIRT. THE COMPUTER IS TOUGH, YOU CAN'T JUST GO AROUND AND DUNK IT VERY TIME. HOWEVER, BLOCKING SEEMS TRICKY TO MASTER. U CAN SHOVE, PUSH PLAYERS AND THEY WON'T LOSE THE BALL. YOU CAN MAKE BETS ON YOUR GAMES. GREAT GAME TO PLAY WITH OTHER PLAYERS, BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND RENTING IT FOR A WEEK FIRST.

fun if slightly forgettable Aug 26, 2002 After reading some harsh reviews of this game I expected the worst, however, I can honestly say Street Hoops is actually pretty decent. Even fun at times.While it won't win any awards for depth or simulation, Hoops is a quick game to get into and provides a solid challenge. This is "urban" b-ball, complete with attitude, rap music, and street fashion. At least this is Activision's version of ghetto ballin', so take it all in stride. I found myself turning off the annoying announcer and the trash talking, as both of these become played out in a matter of 2 or 3 games. Probably more like 1 game, first half. The action/graphics look good, and the dunks are phat as well. All in all this game is decent.

Oh Baby!!!!! Jan 06, 2004
By One Post Legend I love this game. It's lets me tour with the guys, but I'm not actually there. I feel as if Im part of the game. I felt like Im on the jV team. Playin players like Ao, HOt shizzle, Main event, 1/2 man, and all the playground legends. I recommend this game to all the hardcore streetballer and ballerites PS2 Holla Back !!!!
