Gameplay
My Street features three modes for the player to choose from, which are story, play, and netplay.

The play mode allows players to directly play the minigames against AI. The netplay mode is the game's multiplayer mode, allowing players to play the minigames online through the PlayStation 2's Network Play.
The game has a selection of seven minigames: Volleyball, RC Racing, Marbles, Dodgeball, Chemistry, Chicken Herding, and Lawnmowers.{{Cite web |last=Smith |first=David |date=January 15, 2003 |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2003/01/15/my-street-hands-on |title=My Street Hands-On |website=IGN |publisher=Ziff Davis |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20241204151014/https://www.ign.com/articles/2003/01/15/my-street-hands-on |archivedate=December 4, 2024 |url-status=live |accessdate=February 21, 2025}} An eighth gamemode, Corn Field Maze, was announced at the game's reveal in E3 2002 but was cut before release.{{Cite web |last=Smith |first=David |date=May 21, 2002 |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2002/05/21/e3-2002-my-street |title=E3 2002: My Street |website=IGN |publisher=Ziff Davis |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20241127215532/https://www.ign.com/articles/2002/05/21/e3-2002-my-street |archivedate=November 27, 2024 |url-status=live |accessdate=February 21, 2025}} The game modes are accessible by visiting the different children that populate the game's neighborhood setting.

My Street received "generally unfavorable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. GamePro said of the game, "While it's noble that someone has tried to give a party game a plot, the kiddie treatment here is both disturbing and annoying, and the games themselves aren't all that fun; the addition of PS2 online play does not redeem it. If My Street is your street, move."{{Cite magazine |author=Dan Elektro |url=http://www.gamepro.com/sony/ps2/games/reviews/28523.shtml |title=My Street |magazine=GamePro |publisher=IDG |issue=175 |date=April 2003 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20040315072148/http://www.gamepro.com/sony/ps2/games/reviews/28523.shtml |archivedate=March 15, 2004 |accessdate=December 25, 2017}}{{efn|GamePro gave the game 3.5/5 for graphics, two 2.5/5 scores for sound and control, and 2/5 for fun factor.}}
