    The faces are absolutely amazing. Quite simply, there isn’t another game to even compare in terms of likeness and quality.

    Ballers will still play second fiddle to the "NBA Street" series.

    Definitely the lesser of the two major street basketball titles. A little more polish, a lot less loading, and we might have a showdown next year.

    This game is great. The only thing is how to learn the moves.Stunt dunk:hold R1 and R2 and when you are on top of the circle press square.

    Wow! This game is a little overhelming in the beginning with all the options and game modes and moves. Sound is really outstanding and fits the game 100% Graphics are good, but not the best I've seen on the PS2. Gameplay is fun! Only really bad thing I can say about this game is the loading times can be a bit long, but only a bit!… Expand

    I'm not very patient when it comes to videogames. The thing has to either hit me hard on the first impression, or it gets relagated to the trash. That said, NBA Ballers was one of the few games which grew on me. A stunning presentation in both the visuals and audio helped to keep me playing till I developed a liking for the gameplay. After that...the bling lifestyle just seemed perfect.… Collapse
