100A dazzling array of showmanship, visual glitz, and a hefty dose of fun make this an absolute must-play.
-
This game bursts with one brilliant design decision after another - including a Gamebreaker power-up system that is, finally, perfect. [Mar 2007, p.86]
-
NBA Street Homecourt is pretty much a no brainer for anyone looking for a fun exaggerated game of hoops.
-
91EA Canada has made the gameplay tighter and more intuitive, improved the graphics significantly, and got together a killer soundtrack.
-
90Sure, it's an arcade-style game, but you will invest time with the career mode and the gameplay is fluid and fun, the graphics are wonderfully realized and the control scheme is easy to understand.
-
90It's visually impressive, features a great deal of gameplay, superb online features, a masterfully done soundtrack, and a ton of replay value. NBA Street Homecourt comes highly recommended.
-
With so many options, there is little in the way of basketball that this game doesn't offer and it rightfully deserves a slam-dunking genius award. [Apr 2007, p.61]
-
90An excellent arcade-sports title that knows no equal on next-gen consoles. It's more user-friendly than ever, has a killer single-player mode, and the advent of its online play will only make you keep it cemented into your PlayStation 3 that much longer.
-
89The best arcade basketball game out there but just falls short of being legendary.
-
88The Trick Remixer and new Gamebreaker system will have you jumping out of your gaming chair...IGN officially gives NBA Street Homecourt "mad props."
-
While all these features give Homecourt the depth it needs, the real revelation here is something that's hard to describe in words: it just feels right. [Mar 2007, p.99]
-
Jazzy looks, addictive 3-on-3 balling action and surprising longevity. Top balling fun! [Apr 2007, p.63]
-
85A well above average game of arcade basketball, hampered a bit by sub-par online and a lack of customization options. A solid purchase despite its flaws.
-
83It is by far the best of the series thus far and is a great building block for future versions. Just bear in mind that the multiplayer experience gives this game a much higher score than the single player, so if you don't plan on playing online or with friends, you may want to just check this out.
-
80EA takes basketball to the next level with the extreme arcade series, this time with solid gameplay and juicy visuals that does enough to keep you hooked.
-
80A scientifically fluid refinement of upgraded graphical sheen (PS3 has a slight edge over 360) and unprecedented stylish madness that will harvest some of your most enthusiastic hollers.
-
80Minor gripes aside, Homecourt is a deliciously addictive baller and a commendable next-gen Street effort on EA's part.
-
Homecourt may bear only a passing resemblance to real basketball, but it is tremendous fun, even if you never have to the pass the game controller behind your back or toss it in the air.
-
80Light on content but deep on gameplay, NBA Street Homecourt's PlayStation 3 debut is ultimately a great one.
-
80Still, this is one of the best games on the PS3 at the moment, and given the dearth of titles out there on the console, you can't really go wrong. [Apr 2007, p.80]
-
Probably the most entertaining and enjoyable sports game available for the Playstation 3. While the Homecourt Challenge mode gets monotonous, the offline multi-player is where this game truly shines.
-
Don't worry about not "getting" B-ball - this is more of a showing-off sim, and a fun one at that. [May 2007, p.64]
-
80Where development did put in the time was in coming up with a logical and intuitive new control scheme that lets you showcase all the moves that Street vets expect.
-
79Homecourt looks, sounds and plays greatly, but it seems they lost the essence of what made V3 so phenomenal.
-
In Homecourt, the high-flying super dunks, crazy-killer crossovers and behind-the-back, no-look and kick passes are exaggerated to new heights. And here lies one of the game's biggest pluses.
-
70Its career mode is a short experience and the graphics and sound doesn't push the PS3 to its limits; even the gameplay has some frustrating features, but the innovation and entertainment for those who persevere through the learning curve and mundane early matches using rubbish players more than make up for that.
-
At the full asking price, NBA Street Homecourt is a rushed, shark-jumping next-gen cash in from the masters of such practices, EA Sports.
-
68There's lots of fun to be had with Homecourt. The problem is that it's sometimes so arbitrary you might as well watch footage of it rather than play it. [Issue #151, p.90]
-
67Overall, NBA Street Homecourt is leaps and bounds better than EA's other basketball game, NBA Live, but still isn't gaming perfection.
-
Ridiculous tricks and the gritty visuals impress, but Street's flashes of brilliance are undone by glaring flaws - such as the ball hitting an invisible wall at the sideline. [May 2007, p.112]
-
The gameplay becomes repetitive quickly and the campaign is over without much fuss. In the end, this fast-paced game falls victim to its own velocity.
