So I played My Street, and damn was I pleasently surprised! I got a little demo of the game today that had two mini-games featured, Dodgeball and Marbles (not your classic kind of marbles game. For starters, My Street is online compatible, which gets me INCREDIBLY excited, because I can't wait to play volleyball (yes! the game has volleyball), or marbles, or dodgeball, or go RC racing against other people. Granted the list of mini-games is NOTHING like Mario Party's, but regardless, this game is everybit as fun.

The online mode works in this Everquest-like manner. You are put on a street, with a bunch of other adolecents running amok. Obviously, you can tell where this is going. As you run around yourself, you can aproach other characters and challenge them to 7 different games. The single-player mode works the same way. The games aren't as simple as you'd think they would be. Each game has certain different mechanics to be mastered. In dodgeball, you don't just throw the ball hopelessly hoping to get somebody at random. You can lock on your target, and either peg him by jumping into the air, or throw while on the ground. You can, of course, dodge the attack by diving out of the way, which requires good timing. Or you can catch the ball and throw it right back -- counter.

The marble game is unexplainably addictive. There's a group of four kids, one of which you control. There's a marble dispenser that consistently dispenses marbles to the playing floor, which is complete with obstacles and power-ups. As the little marbles fall, you control the giant marble, and you have to carry the smaller marbles by touching them and turning on your marble magnet (sorry, I don't know the proper lingo, I never played marbles as a kid). So, as your holding down the magnet button and bumping into marbles to make them light up as your color, you have to then take your marbles and drag them to the deposit line, where you let go of the magnet button and the little marbles drop in for points. But be careful, because opponents can steal your marbles, throw you off the playing field (think Bumper Balls from Mario Party), or paralyze you by picking up an anti-magnet power up.

My Street is just oozing with fun. Those of you, like myself, are anxiously awaiting Mario Tennis for GC and Mario Kart for GC, because you can't wait to play a kick ass party title online...make sure you check out My Street this March. You'll be very thankful, you do.

To tell you the truth, I'm looking forward to this game. I think it looks like a lot of fun and I enjoy party games.

I tried Army Men and I never want to play it again. I even tried The Teletubbies on PSone. It sucked too.

The only question I have about My Street is there enough mini games and how is it for a single player. I'm still looking at getting it despite having way too many great PS2 games to get also.

Cool, the PS2 needs a party type game. Personally though I don't think it's going to sell too well.

I don't think it will sell well either. I'm going to bet that Sony will still ship too many copies of this game. They did it to just about all their games.

I'd probably get it if it had more games and things to do. It just dosen't look like there's that much to it.
