sports and outdoors

I have always love the backyard series. Especially football these games are for all ages. At least thats what I think. The backyard series gave me insperation to do my own games. Even though I am still 11 years old I like to program games.
I think that its cool that you can pick players from real football to put on your team. All the backyard characters have there own personality and its really cool to talk to them. Another good thing about the series is that the games are really cheap. I think it is worth the money and you will play it for a long time with out getting bord. But if you do buy it I would suggest putting it on the hardest level so it will take longer to beat the game.

My 6 year old son enjoys the game. What he enjoys may not be what you expect. The game allows kids to choose pro teams and pro football players (as kids.) My son enjoys picking the teams as much as he enjoys playing the game. A neat feature is an ability to mold a player, picking build, sex, hair style/color and playing ability. This is especially fun for kids. Playing the game is rather cumbersome, however. The computer does a lot of the work. You really only play one player. Plays are available but do not make much sense to a young kid. A good game. We've tried some of the others, backyard baseball and soccer (not basketball yet.) Baseball seems to require the most input but it is slow. My son likes soccer the best. Have fun.

This game rocks because even they are kids they can still play like real profecional players. This game has cool animations and worth it if you'd buy it. I think this game is better than any other football games. I wish that they should create another cool version for backyard football 2002.
