(More customer reviews)When EA Sports' BIG division released NFL Street as the football version of its hit NBA Street many gamers were impressed with how the game took street football to a new level of fun with style moves, sick dives and trash-talking that at times had you laughing too hard for your own good.The only problem with NFL Street was that at times you were pretty much eating the wall with your face whenever your opponent tackled you and you had no way to dodge it.
Well, that little problem has been thankfully resolved (to a point) in the long-awaited NFL Street 2.And as the old adage goes, "The more things change the more they stay the same".NFL Street 2 adds a few new surprises to the mix of 7-on-7 street ball while keeping a few things relatively untouched.As the promos say the game is played in the streets but now will be won in the air.
One of the new things added to Street 2 is the Wall moves.Now you can control your chosen player to run up the wall to either catch a ball, evade tacklers, or even throw some insane passes throughout the game that help you build up your team's game power meter.
Speaking of the meter, the GameBreaker has now been changed to become the GameBreaker 2 (the NFL version of NBA Street, Vol 2's Double GameBreaker).If and when the GB2 is activated it begins a sick looking play series that, depending on whether you are on offense or defense, wil make you harder to hit, be a harder hitter and cause major fumbles, or move fast as you carry the ball across the goalline.
Several new modes are added to NFL Street 2, including Crush the Carrier (basically a game of keepaway in which you score points for carrying the ball), Quick Strike (Score before your opponents do, then prevent them from scoring), 2 Minute Showdown (Score more touchdowns than your opponent within 2:00), Jump Ball (Catch passes being thrown to you and 2 other receivers to score points) and last but not least Own the City.
Own the City is the game's Story Mode in which you create a player then charge through the 5 sections of the city and complete the challenges in each section to build up the ultimate player to challenge in the NFL Challenge mode of the game.And of course for those that may have gotten the ability to do so over the holidays the game does have an Online play mode.
Now although this game had a street date (no pun intended) of Christmas Eve 2004, it came out with plenty of time to be the first of 3 Street games to be released in 2005 (NBA Street, Vol. 3 and FIFA Street being the other two).Needless to say if these game can rule the streets like the first 2 NBA Street games and now the 2 NFL Street games can, then EA Sports BIG can truly say that they run the Streets... this is until they decide to FINALLY make an NHL Street...now THAT would rule...
