  1. You'll have a difficult time mounting an effective defense since opposing teams drive the ball with lightning speed. [Nov 2003, p.156]
  2. It's obvious that some care and talent went into the making of this game. Unfortunately it just didn't dribble down to the most important part - the gameplay.

    Unfortunately a promising set of images couldn't prepare us for an absolutely lousy playing game of b-ball on the Game Boy Advance, possibly beating out the 16-bit era NBA Jam clones as the worst of the bunch.
  4. Unless you want to spend $20 to be bored to tears, you should stay away from Street Jam Basketball.
  5. Despite the intelligent control system, the on-court offensive action rapidly deteriorates into a quick pass, followed by charging the hoop to make the same basket shot/dunk over and over.
  6. Single-player mode has you spending more time trying to avoid getting hit than aiming for the hoop, which gets annoying real quick. [Fall 2003, p.54]
  7. Fails to excite in any way shape or form.

    I was hoping for an updated 'street hoop' (neogeo) however gameplay kills this game. 3vs3 on a tiny court should be fun, but this game has no feel. GBA can do better. Full Review »
