Editorial Review: Product Description: NFL Street has the hard-hitting football action that true fans of the game want. Play in the park, backyards and sandlots of America with legendary NFL players! Amazon.com Review: Given the success of NBA Street it was only a matter of time before EA Sports took the street concept to its flagship sport, football. And even though there really is no such thing as street football, the concept is a winner. Straight up smash mouth football with no penalties and no clock--just the ball, the field, seven vs. seven playing offense and defense, all for the glory of the game? Boom! Wap! The game licenses all the NFL teams and some 100 big-league players. The characters models are exaggerated, so don't expect likenesses to be exact, but it's fun taking a bunch of current Packer greats and stuffing the rock down the throats of seven Rams. Game modes let you choose players from single teams or create your own pro bowl, and there is a nice assortment of QBs, RBs, corners, WRs, tight ends, and O and D-linemen. There's a lot of strategy in picking your team. Sure, running backs and quarterbacks are givens, but a corner can intercept better than a wide receiver though he won't catch as well. A big offensive lineman can be useful, but he doesn't tackle well when forced to play defense. When playing two-player, you can really stack your line and shut down the enemy passing or running attack, or go for a balanced corp. You can play a ladder or league by creating your own team, which is annoyingly time consuming. An option to draft your own NFL stars and go through would be nice, instead you have to pick a cadre of nobodies and fill out their stats. Pick a name, a logo, and try to beat the pros with your average Joes. Winning gives you points and you can upgrade from there. It's a nice option but only for the hardcore players; casual players are effectively shut out from continuing play because of it. EA hired "street" artists to design wonderful load screens, but this makes the player models look dull by comparison. One wishes they had used cel shading and that street look to the characters, but instead we get freakish players that generally look the same. Uninspired, un-intimidating, and, frankly, boring. The gameplay works. There's a nice assortment of offensive, defensive, and trick plays. There are no special teams, no punting, and extra points are two points for a pass, one for a run. Mastering the buttons is key because the game rewards style, impressive plays, and more. Gathering these points opens new playing fields and, if you like, can be a victory option. The computer is programmed to catch up when behind, annoyingly so, so this is more of a blast against a human opponent. The fast action and brutal hits are reminiscent of NFL Blitz (which is a better game) but EA Big has started something here. Next year this could be really big. --Andrew S.

 Rating: - Awesome game.......but hardI really love this game. You get to do super cool things like do tricks,play rough,no penalties, and even make your own team with your own players. But it is super hard. You know how the Patriots were so good a couple years ago,well I used them and went against the 49ers and lost 24-0. You should get this game but remember it's hard! Rating:  - Best sports game I've ever playedpros: 1-good graphics and detail make it really fun to play 2-you can design all your guys, what they look like, and their skills. You can also pick all your team colors and logo out of a wide varitey of things. 3-diverse feilds. Its not like other football games where the playing feilds are all the same. Instead there are alleys, beaches, rooftops and more that you can play it. 4-there is plenty of stuff to unlock throuhgout the game. ... Read More Rating: - Jeremy from Chi-TownThe graphics are alright, and the gameplay straight. The game all around is cool, but there is too much stuff to unlock. But nonetheless, this game isn't good enough to buy. I'd give it a seven day rental. Rating:  - This game is dumbThis is the worst football game i have ever played. First of all, when you try tricky stuff, you fumble every time. Next, defense is imposible. I should never have bought this game. If you want a fun football game, go with blitz or madden. Not this game. Rating: - Awesome GameThere is only one word to describe NFL Street and that is... AWESOME! This game has bend the rules a little bit and for the good. It is just not fun running and passing when you can run and pass with STYLE. I personally am not a fan of NFL games but this is THE exception. Its not just football, it's a whole lot more. Gameplay- As you may know I love this game, I play it a lot and it does not look like I'm going to be putting it down any time soon. Also I am hearing a lot of people ... Read More |
