Backyard Basketball Reviews
| 31 of 36 people found the following review helpful  way too easy., By This review is from: Backyard Basketball (CD-ROM) Don't get me wrong though, I like this game. But even the hard level is child's play. However, this game is designed for kids 5-10. I like it, but it is too easy. My best game so far was 132-12. I think that even a 5 year old wouldn't have a problem kicking everyone's butt in this game. Its fun, and anyone who likes the other Backyard games (hockey, soccer, football, baseball) will like this one. Pros: Cons: Altogether this is a good game, but if you are over age 9, this one will be way too easy and you shouldn't get it. Otherwise, you will like this one. It's fun, just too easy, which is why the younger audience will like it. 19 of 21 people found the following review helpful  Flawed But Excellent, By This review is from: Backyard Basketball (CD-ROM) Like many games in the "Backyard" series this is very enjoyable but flawed. The main problem is the stats. The list of top ten players doesn't track blocks. Rebounding is so difficult that your team and players will never appear in the top ten. The end-of-season awards for top player on team and in the league don't work at all. And please see the reviewer below, of all the Backyard games, this appears to require the most computer power. If your computer is not very powerful, the game will play in slow motion--very frustrating. Finally, there are only two pro players; hopefully, future versions will include more.There are many positive points that we've come to expect from manufacturer "Humongous Entertainment," including trick plays, offensive and defensive strategies (Offense: Crash, Normal, or Fastbreak; Defense: Tight, Normal, or Loose), decisions about which players to pick and at what positions, when to sub, etc. Except for the lack of rebounding and outside shooting...

If you like basketball you will love basketball. I love basketball , so I love it. The weirdest part and probably the best is that the kids can dunk. How many 6-12 year olds do you know do that? The power-ups are very cool. You can make the other team think about ice cream, while you steal the ball. Or have the hot hands or cold. You can hve super speed, or make the other team have slippery hands. Watch out for getting called for a foul though. There are two pro players in this game. Kevin Garnett of the Minnesota Timberwolves, and Lisa Leslie of the Los Angeles Sparks. Kevin Garnett can dunk and shoot close-in shots. He usually doesn't make three-pointers. Lisa Leslie can sometime make them. She can't dunk very easily though. If you want to make yourself, do that. Choose how good you are at inside shooting, outside shooting, ball-handling, defense, and quickness. This game takes a 166MHz, I reccomend having a 200MHz or higher. If not it will... Read more |
