 Greatest PC Football Game June 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Backyard football, this one at least, is probably the best football game created for PC's. In this game you can create your team as if it were a draft, and play thru a whole season. If you do good enough then you can proceed to the post season and attempt to win the Super Colossal Cereal Bowl.
Of course this is what happens during the season play mode. Two other modes exist, one of these being an instant game where you can A) choose your team in a draft or B) let the computer choose for you. The second mode of gameplay exists, or existed. This was the online play that was known as the Humongous Sports Network. I don't know if that is still an available feature though, considering there is no Humongous Entertainment company anymore.
When you pick your team you can choose from eight NFL players and 30 other kids. You are limited to only 7 picks though, just like the real NFL Draft. The NFL players are Brett Favre, Dan Marino, John Elway, Randall Cunningham, Steve Young, Jerry Rice, Barry Sanders, and one other which I fail to remember. (I'm doing this on memory). I tended to choose Dan Marino as QB and put Jerry Rice at WR. Although Barry Sanders does make a good RB I would put him at Defensive Back and make my own RB if I were you.
Difficulty in the game is wide spread. Easy, this coming from a Maddenite is too easy. However, coming from Madden, where you can change various levels of AI during a game and going to the medium and hard levels of BFL is quite a shock. It is nearly impossible to keep an opponents points off the board and you will lose a game eventually.
Overall the playability of this game is one the highest that you will find and I would recommend it to anybody over the age of five.

I own other backyard games like backyard basketball, backyard soccer, and backyard baseball but this one is the best!The cool things are you can make, and name your own plays, you can name, and make your own players also when the kids score a touchdown they do dances.Some of them are very funny!Another good thing is that the players have great skills, you can play with two people, and you can play with pro players.Bad things- no bad things!Anyone who likes baseball, basketball, soccer or any kind of sport would really, really, really, really like this game.Definitley a game I would recommend!
Great game in a great series! January 12, 2004
This game is magnificent, as is the entire backyard series. You can choose to be an NFL team name or a made-up one. You "draft" your players and can play singles games or entire seasons. The trick plays are great and add even more fun and excitement to the game.
Backyard Football November 29, 2003
Backyard Football if virtually one of the best computer games I have ever played. I'm a girl raised to like football and I even love it. At first I always lost the games I played but If you know the basic rules of football like a second nature and you have a little bit of practice with this game you'll surelyn play it non-stop. Great game I highly recommend.

This game is so cool! I recieved it for christmas and I have barely ever stopped playing it. One of the funnest parts of the game is that you can design your own custom player and make up names for your own plays. The dances players do after scoring a touchdown are hilarious. This game passes standards that other children's football games do not even try to achieve. If you are looking for a enjoyable, funny, and educational game for your child, this is the one.
