The peak of stylish street basketball: impossible dribbles, acrobatic dunks and a trick gauge that unlocks breathtaking moves. Everything breathes flow, but skill makes the difference as much as showboating. With several players, matches become real style jousts. Snappy, cool and furiously generous, a peak of arcade sport from start to finish.
The third entry in EA Sports BIG's street basketball, NBA Street V3 pushes the formula further with a player and court editor, chained Gamebreakers and an even more expressive trick system. The exuberant visual style, the hip hop energy and the creativity of the signature dunks make it a peak of stylish arcade sport. Repetitive matches and a tilt towards spectacle over strategy barely temper the fun. An excellent arcade basketball game for fans of spectacular streetball in multiplayer.
