NBA Street 2
I
am glad to say that I am a proud owner of the original NBA Street. It
was fast, fun, fluid and the arcade gameplay made for great two-player
skirmishes. This year the good folks at EA have decided to bring the
back the series with its second installment. Unlike the last NBA Street
game, this version will be available on all the platforms. From the
available information it seems that the team at EA has really out did
themselves from the previous installment and a year off hopefully will
pay off in the end. Key
Features: Play
as your favorite NBA legend, past or present with their signature moves:
Choose from a massive selection of 145 NBA players, 25 NBA Legends and 6
Street Legends. Up
to four players at a time in the new multiplayer mode: The stakes are
higher and the fun gets more intense when you play 4-player multiplayer.
Be
the Oop!: For the first time in a basketball game, you can be the Oop!
There's nothing like jumping to the rim and catching a pass from your
team mate for the big alley-oop.
Level
2 Gamebreaker: School your opponent big time with the show-stopping
Gamebreakers. Boost your Gamebreaker meter by pulling off sweet moves.
The more you pour on the highlights the bigger the boost. Gamebreakers
are twice as punishing with Level 2 Gamebreakers. Play America's best street courts: Numerous urban worlds that re-create the feel and grit of the true street game, including Soul in the Hole, Rucker Park and The Cage. Enhanced
Create-a-Baller mode: There's more to Create-a-Baller than just cool
outfits. Earn crazy signature moves for your personal Created Baller.
Now you can take your skills and style to the floor. My
Rules: Spot your opponent a few points before the tip-off, or
play a trick point challenge. Play the game the way YOU want to play it.
Those
disappointed, of the lack of extended multiplayer (i.e. four-player
simultaneous play) from the original NBA Street will have their prayers
answered as NBA Street 2 supports up to four players on all the
platforms, but the lowdown is that there is no online play to speak of. Look
for NBA Street 2 to hit shelves in Spring of this year. -
