After a little tweaking by myself, My Street for PS2 is now back online! Now hosted on a 24/7 DNS server thanks to Bobz of BobzEnt.info!

Here are some images of me accessing My Street online:

My Street is obviously aimed at a younger audience, but this game can prove to be a fun Mario Party-esque collection of mini-games.

The online mode places you in an open level where you can free roam and chat with other players until a game is started. My Street features seven different game types, all inspired by classic mini-games: Marbles, RC Racing, Volleyball, Lawnmowers, Chicken Herding, Chemistry, and Dodgeball.

Here are images of some of the better game types:

(RC Racing, inspired by Super Off Road, featuring ten different tracks)




(Chemistry, a Tetris-like puzzle game inspired by the Puyo Puyo games)




(Dodgeball)

Check out these IGN and GameZone articles for more detailed descriptions of the various game types.

For those that don't own it, it's relatively easy to find online and only $1.99 used at GameStop, so give it a shot.

Also, My Street for PS2 has a LAN mode, so it can be played online forever using LAN tunneling programs like XLink Kai and XBSlink.

An interestingly funny side effect in My Street online that I did not notice while playing Amplitude online is that you are able to communicate with other SOCOM players via text chat in the online lobby. Here are some images:

Heh thanks for getting this back online temporarily. I will have to pick this game up for cheap to try it.

I'll add this info into the guides section of the site.
