Amazon.com Review
Where were games like Backyard Football 2002 when we were kids? This latest addition to the award-winning series may have colorful cartoon graphics, a bumping soundtrack, and lots of squeaky voices, but underneath is a football game so fun and detailed that it can actually teach children about the sport.
You can click a single button to immediately get a random pickup game going, but the real fun is in the single game and season modes. In the single game, you get to choose a field to play on, set the weather conditions, and decide what rules you want to use. Then you pick your team from a bench full of imaginary and real world players, each rated in a variety of statistics like passing, catching, and kicking. The season mode offers even more depth, letting you draft a team and lead them all the way to the championships, tracking their stats, trophies, and standings along the way.
The game mechanics are simple enough for kids to learn but offer a surprising amount of depth for those who practice. For passes, just click the spot where you want the ball to end up. To move while running, click the spot you want the player to turn towards. To switch players, click the player you want to control. Once the basics are mastered you can learn some advanced tricks, like tapping the mouse button to throw a pass with a high arc versus holding the button down to throw a frozen rope. You can lead your receivers, perform fake punts, put specific players in specific positions for every play, and do just about everything else the big-boy simulations do, and a narrated tutorial lets you practice before taking your skills onto the field. (Ages 7 and older) --T. Byrl Baker

| 30 of 32 people found the following review helpful:  Fun for children and adults!, By This review is from: Backyard Football 2002 (CD-ROM) As a longtime hardcore PC gamer, I surprisingly found this game to be a lot of fun with a nice simple interface. There are a couple modes to play from, starting with a Skirmish where you can play a quick game, or a season. There is also a multiplayer LAN-ONLY feature.Starting with a season game, the interface first lets you choose which of the 31 football teams will be in the season (you are allowed to choose about 25 of them), and which team you wish to play as your own. Each division also has a CUSTOM team that you can choose. You can customize this team's name and jersey colors. The team names are limited to the selections they give you, but this is for the purposes of the in-game announcers. Then comes the player selections, which gives you a very wide variety. There are all sorts of players to choose from, from African Americans, Asians, Latinos, and many more. There is also a player in a wheelchair to choose from! The political correctness of this game is deep,...

BackgroundBackyard Football is one of a series of sports games for your personal computer. Other titles include Soccer and Baseball. These games are targeted for younger players, and are therefore, fairly simple to operate. This particular game is advertised for children between the ages of 5 and 10. However, I enjoy playing this game myself, and I am a little bit older than 10. Directions |
