Awesome Game [Posted on 2004-08-21] There 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 saying this game is "frustrating" and that they fumble too much, what the heck are you doing?? I "syle" a lot, and don't ever fumble. Anyways this is how it goes... You play football and at the same time you rack up points, the more points you get the faster you earn a "Game Breaker". If you are wondering... A game breaker is when your team gets unlimited Turbo and if you are on offence you are likely to leave everyone in your dust, and almost guaranteed a touch down. If on defense you are also almost guaranteed a turn over on downs or fumbles. Well back to game play, there a lot of cool moves you can pull off when you are running. Like spin around your opponent, plow threw him, jump over him, and sooo much more. This is useful to rack up points and earn that game breaker or simply just to lock good while running for the touch down. This is were in my opinion NFL Street shines the most.
Graphics-
I have no idea how another person said that the graphics were awful. I don't know if he is looking at the same game I am looking at, to me they are extremely good, the players look like the real life guys, there are no skips or lag. In fact I thought they were the best, because even the fields are done very well and some-what interactive. Like for instance in a junk yard you can fall on some wooden boxes and they will brake, in the beach there is a big volleyball that you can hit and it will react and bounce away also some surf boards you can hit and will fall down. So to me the graphics are just perfect.
Sound-
I regularly don't pay attention to the sound on games, but in NFL Street how can you not? The crashes sound good and I guess a little exaggerated but that does not necessarily make it a bad thing. Also everyone talks trash to each other, my favorite quote for now is "If I got a nickel for every yard you just ran, I would be broke... dead broke." And when you are playing there are some nice beats on the background so sound is great as well
Bottom line If you like football and are looking for a little more, buy this. If you don't like football rent it and I'm almost certain you will like it, I did and like I said I'm not a fan of NFL my self. But if you are a hardcore simulator fan DO NOT BUY IT, it is not about simulation its about having fun and soo much more!
This game is dumb [Posted on 2004-10-22] This 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.
Jeremy from Chi-Town [Posted on 2004-12-17] The 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.
Best sports game I've ever played [Posted on 2005-09-28] pros: 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.
5-As you beat more teams you get more points to make your players better. And as you advance the diffuculty gets harder to match your progressing skills.
6-There is only seven players on you team on the feild at a time. I like this because it makes it less confusing and also less crowded.
Cons: I thought about it for a while and I can only think of one. After a while the other teams taunts get annoying.
In conclusion this game has provided me with months worth of fun. And I would highly recommend getting it.
Awesome game.......but hard [Posted on 2005-12-20] I 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!
