Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Within a bright, vibrant, sunny neighborhood, birds are chirping, dogs are barking, and kids are getting ready to play the day away. But this is no ordinary neighborhood: within each backyard, intense competitions are underway to see who rules the 'hood. Up to four kids in each yard (in single player or online play) are playing with chemicals, dodging remote-controlled cars, playing volleyball, and chasing each other through cornfields. With eight games to play, there's no excuse for not getting outside and hanging with your buddies. Because if you're coming to this street, you better be prepared to play.

5.0 out of 5 stars You have to get this game!, July 27, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: My Street (Video Game)

When I rented this game at All The Best video, I was stunned at how fun this was! First you get to create your own wacky character with cool hats and sunglasses! Then you go around the neighborhood talking to the characters, but you can only talk to the characters, get inventory items etc. in story mode. Play mode is just about playing the games in the neighborhood and nothing else. Here are a list of all the games that you can play and my comments.

MARBLES
This game is frustrating at first, but you should get the
hang of it sooner or later.

VOLLEYBALL
This game is pretty fun ,but very hard.

CHEMISTRY
This game is about putting the same color squares
together and when in laser mode you can zap as
many squares as you want until time runs out. This
game is very cool and fun.

LAWN MOWERS
This game is about racing Lawn Mowers. It sounds
pretty weird doesn't it? This game is very hard to
control and I haaven't mastered it yet.

CHICKEN HERDING
Okay this is the weirdest game that's in My Street.
You try to lure chicks and chickens in your little
chicken house. It's very frusterating when the pig
gets in there. You lose 200 hundred points!

RC Racing
This is just like Lawn Mowers only the tracks are a
little different. I like this just as much as Lawn
Mowers.

DODGEBALL
This is my all time favorite game! You play in the
School Gym with no gym teachers.

I hope this review was helpful so, buy this game you won't
regret it!

4.0 out of 5 stars My 8 year-old loves it, December 6, 2005

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars

(PS2 version)

I finally had to break down and buy this game for our kids for Xmas. Nearly everytime we'd go to the rental store my 8yo son would want to rent it. (Son 8, daughter 5, son 3).

I've read the reviews here and find it really interesting the huge gap in opinions.

For the most part my kids never played the story mode. Although my son found it interesting once I got him to try it. They preferrred to play in game mode where they could simply choose which game to play.

Other than volleyball they seem to have little problems playing the mini-games. Marbles and dodgeball is their favorite.

I've played along with them and have found no issues with control or graphics. Yes, the name-calling of the characters is extremely obnoxious and border-line rude. I'm not sure it will teach kids positive behaviors in that respect. Still the games are fairly entertaining.

Certainly I wouldn't recommend spending a ton of money for this game but if you can find it for $20-$25 there's a good chance it will get some good playing time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not great but..., July 4, 2004

Bilbo Baggins "mighty hobbit" (Land of Dwarves and Hobbits) - See all my reviews

This review is from: My Street (Video Game)

I bought this game a while ago thinking that it might be a little bit like Shenmue for kids but...it aint. While the game does have a large world to explore, for the most part you can't interact with much of it, the world is mostly a giant painting you move around in. You also can't explore as much of it as I would like. Your characters mom seems to have the ability to telepathically know when your near the edge of town and prevents you from going farther. I wanted to head over to the school but nooo. The games were pretty fun but you have to beat them pretty quickly if you want to beat the game. The key is to get the chicken game out of the way as quickly as possible so you can start making money to save up for a RC car. The RC cars are probably the most difficult of the games with a small window of error.
The funnest game to play for me was volleyball. The lamest for me was that stupid chicken game. I didn't know what was going on half the time. Just get enough arrows in the chicken's path and hope for victory.
Although the games are pretty fun at times, the real reason to buy this game is to create the freakiest kid ever. I probably spent more time creating different freaky kids. If you beat the game then you can unlock even wierder faces The voices for the kids are silly, particularly the girl voices. "The piggies must lose." Good stuff.
At any rate, it's not that great a game but if you always wanted to run around town as Hannibal Lecter Jr. then this might be right up your alley.
P.S. The piggies must lose!
