NBA Street Homecourt

Putting Carmelo "Left Hook" Anthony on the cover of Homecourt only reminds us of what this series is sorely lacking. Namely, teeth-busting NBA-style fights. Seriously, man, there have been fights in sports games before most of us were even born. Remember Ice Hockey? NES? 1988? That game had fights AND a fucking Zamboni. Anyway, with its glossy graphics, the next-gen version of Street is prettier than Jason Kidd's ex-wife. But why are the courts all bizarrely vacant of fans? Seriously, a community theater production of Steel Magnolias draws bigger crowds. The Game Breakers are extra insane this time around—you can perform not one, not two, but three consecutive dunks on the same damn play. And the just-one-more-game feeling will bring out the addict in you, yo. Now, if only the X button let us throw uppercuts, we'd really be in business…
