The NBA Street Vol. 2 video game for the sony Playstation 2 (PS2), microsoft Xbox and Nintendo Gamecube is out. Read a game review of this basketball game at Kidzworld!

The NBA is all about squeaky-clean courts, bright lights and big TV coverage. But, NBA Street keeps it real by axing the big-time arenas and using the b-ball courts that are right in your backyard. It's all about skill, attitude and style with NBA Street vol. 2 for the Playstation 2, Xbox and Nintendo Gamecube.

The Style

NBA Street vol. 2 gives you classic NBA stars like Magic, Wilt, Bird and more. It mixes the real stars with real world courts, and adds real NY DJ Bobbito Garcia as the announcer to give it a kick. Plus, NBA Street vol. 2 has good graphics that are ready to knock your socks off from the three-point line.

The Game

NBA Street vol. 2 packs in more moves for the defense so, no matter what you're doing, the action is fast and in your face. The video game options let you totally customize the rules so you can play the way you want. You can even train your own player from scratch, build a team, or just grab your fave NBA stars and hit the courts for a game!

The Pain

Yeah, nothing's perfect and NBA Street vol. 2 has flaws. The graphics don't go from move-to-move very smoothly and it'll take a while to master the controls. But, the biggest flaw is that NBA Street vol. 2 isn't much different from NBA Street vol. 1.

How Hard Is It?

It takes about an hour to get all the moves down and the game is pretty easy, but you can always challenge your friends.

Age Rating: Everyone.

Thumbs Up:

Build your own player or play with big-name b-ball stars!

Tons of options.

Thumbs Down:

Got NBA Street vol. 1? Then there's not much reason to get vol. 2.

Slightly twitchy graphics.
