Gameplay & Core Systems
NBA Street Showdown is the first version of the series for the PSP handheld system. players first creates their own baller and team. Most courts are initially locked, and players must compete in a tournament-style progression on each court to unlock others. Winning the final match against the boss character allows players owns that court, unlocks new courts, and gives players the opportunity to take a member of the defeated team. The goal of the Shot Blocker mini-game is essentially what the name suggests - you are a single player, facing a varying number of shooters, and it is your job to prevent their shots from hitting the net.
Standout Features
- 3, as well as many unique features.
- If you do well enough, you continue on to a new level.
- Points for blocking are greatest close to the shooters, and lowest near the basket, but it takes longer to get into position for a block the further you are from the basket.
- Arcade Shootout is much like an arcade basketball machine, where you need to sink as many baskets as possible before time runs out.
- If you meet the required number of baskets for a level, you will advance to the next level.
- Each level is different, with multiple baskets arranged in different patters, and each with a different bonus or point value.
- To mix things up, some of the baskets move back and forth, making them even harder to hit.
- Multiplayer modes consist of two-player network play via the PSP's built-in wireless network, and Party Play where players take turns on the same PSP competing for the highest score in the mini-games.
