  • Summary: The third installment of NBA Street advances the series by adding more customization, different game modes, and new gameplay features. Now you can build both your reputation and show-stopping Gamebreakers on the streets by performing all-new flashy dunks, dribble tricks, and combos. Step into the shoes of NBA legends, current basketball stars, and original characters from previous games. Play in familiar courts, such as The Cage and Rucker Park, or create your own court from the ground up. NBA Street V3 also features a new dunk contest and online multiplayer modes. Expand

  1. For V3, the player models have photorealistic heads and faces - you can actually see facial details and markings. The development team even incorporated cloth animations. [Feb 2005, p.75]
  2. The pinnacle of virtual basketball.
  3. This game not only has an incredible control scheme, but it has so many extras that you probably won't even have to update until V5. Whichever way you look at it, NBA Street V3 is the new pinnacle of the NBA games and is much more fun than any other basketball game in existence--including "NBA Jam."
  4. Luigi seems even floatier, and embarrassed head-shaking ensues when you see Princess Peach throwing shapes like a bad-ass Crip from the Wes' side. Ooh, where's she hiding the Glock?... NBA Street V3 is superfluous and expensive.

    Nba street is a very cool and fantesyfull game. I bought it The first day it came out. I think that nba street v3 is more real than the 2 and 1. Street v3 is the closest you come near street basketball today! Maybee Gambreakers is a little to much og flying players but else al the other stuff exsist in the real world. Expand

    Its so boring... 3 on 3 sucks, the only good things, is being able to play mario, peach, and luigi, and the dunk contest. Which after one day gets boring. Making your own character sucks! You have to where a jersey, you can't color anything, I heardly consider it customizing! The music has like 5 songs, and they are so dang annoying. The graphics are good, but the I almost lost my mind playing this game. Expand
