Cricket Steet! What a fistworthy game that would be. Cricket would work because people actually play that on streets. I can remember making up all kinds of awesome rules when i played it last. "Hit a car 30 runs, set off the alarm 50 runs" etc. It earnt fist.

Joking aside, I think the next logical game would be NHL Street - it's the only game I've actually seen played literally on the street.  Basketball is played more on driveways, it seems...

NBA Street Vol. 2 > NBA Street V3 in my opinion, and I didn't like NFL Street.  Basketball has fancy dunks - like it always has, like back in the NBA Jam days.  Other sports don't seem to have that kind of flair, and I guess I had to like football to begin with to be able to enjoy NFL Street.  Let's hope they can keep up some momentum, for some reason I don't have high expectations for FIFA Street, despite soccer being the most popular sport in the world...though I suppose it could be like Captain Tsubasa or (Sega) Soccer Slam.

Since there's no NHL this year, I could definately see this happening.  I heard rumors that there won't be a regular NHL game for 2005.  With no updated rosters, what's the point in buying the same game you got last year?

FIFA Street? Sounds like a game about hooligan fights.

Hop Scotch is already on the side walk so all you'd have to do is move it 5 feet and I'm taller than that.

Hm, I wonder if they even bother with including the one goal, two player team-elimination gameplay that's common when you can't get a whole court to yourself? That's pretty much the only variation of football I've ever seen on the "street" (schoolyards).
