Luckily, the game itself is identical to the US version.Īs per the ‘Big’ branding music is an important part of the package, and starting up this game sees you immediately smacked in the face with some of the most obnoxious hip hop known to man - and this is coming from someone who’s a big fan of the genre.ĭe La Soul’s classic ‘Me, Myself, and I’ is the soundtrack’s only real saving grace, although the Beastie Boys’ ‘Open Letter to the Five Boroughs’ has always been a tune with its heart in the right place, even if the delivery is far from the trio’s best.Įverything else is pretty horrific to start with, but many have been further butchered in the name of keeping a ‘E’ rating - and are only made even worse as a result.

Fun fact: It was the first game of that generation to be native 1080p resolution.īut back when ‘NBA Street Vol.3’ was being released onto home consoles, ‘NBA Street Showdown’ was released for the PSP. Volumes one, two, and three were put out on sixth generation consoles, Homecourt was the fifth in the franchise and was an early generation seven release. I’ve played 14 of them, and they are all various kinds of amazing fun.įive of the games comprised the ‘NBA Street’ series.

Over the 8 years it was going, Big released 21 games with installments based on Basketball, Football (Soccer), American Football, Wrestling, Motocross, Rallying, Skidooing, and, most famously of all, Skiing/Snowboarding (with the SSX series). Sports that focused less on trying to accurately recreate a given sport and more on taking the aspects of each activity that made it entertaining and exaggerating them in the name of OTT style and fun.Ī lot of these games had official licenses and, unrecognisably from the EA we know today, were possessed of an almost reverential respect for each sport’s history these games, from the most soulless corporation in gaming, had real heart. 'Big', for those out of the loop, was basically a sub-label of E.A. It’s amazing to think that, given the company's reputation with gamers today, EA was once the home of the E.A. Despite this being Day 80, due to a couple of multi-game entries, this is actually the 100th game I've played from my backlog while furloughed from work.
