Street Basketball isn't going to blow you away or anything. It's really simplistic, and made really for kids. You can't move around on the court it's basically just left and right. It almost feels like a mobile game , and it may have been before I didn't look that up. All that being said it is hard to step away from if your a fan of Basketball. There is just so much to do. You can complete tons of challenges, play in Tournaments, even play a game of One on One with your friends locally. There are 19 characters with different styles of shots, and skills but even better you can create your own with tons of different looks. Another really fun thing is you can upgrade your player, and make him the best of them all. Also 36 Achievements you can unlock to keep you playing .

I wasn't blown away by the looks of the game at all, the characters have no arms or legs, the crowd all look really, really crazy but I couldn't put the controller down. Sometimes there are more important things then graphics when it comes to games. Some times it is about the fun, and it having replay ability, and you feeling you get your money's worth. Street Basketball does this. Yes I think it would been a lot better if I could run around the court instead of just juking to get by the man guarding me. Yes I think I would enjoyed it more if there was 2 on 2 I could play with a friend like NBA Jam, and of course arms and legs and better looking fans in the background. The end of the day though it's a fun game for kids, and especially fun that it's on the Switch and you can take your basketball addiction on the road with you. Keep your kids busy in the back seat, while introducing them to the love of sports. So ya it's not perfect, but I'll take it over NBA Playgrounds 2 the other Street Basketball option on the Switch. It's also a lot more affordable.

So who is this for? Is it for you? I think if you love Basketball and want to play something addictive and cheap you can take with you on the go, it's great for you. I think if you have kids who loves sports, and you take the Switch with you on the go it will certainly keep them busy.
