Summary: Backyard Football
Review: 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.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Super Game!
Review: Backyard Football is a very cool game. You can play a real NFL team or a made-up team. You get to play with real NFL players and/or with made-up characters. You can design your own plays or play with the defaults. It is one of the best games I have ever played.

Summary: At the Top of Grade School Kids' Sports Games!
Review: Boys and girls (and their parents--believe me!) will love this fun, exciting football game from Humongous Entertainment. It features characters familiar from other "Jr. Sports League" series: Easy-going Keisha, lightening-fast Pete, and others of different ages, races, sizes, and abilities.

The action is fast and the selection of plays is great fun (you can also create your own plays!). Passing plays are the most difficult; you might want to encourage your child to focus on running, kicking, and defense, and help him or her with passing. (Our 5-year old eventually got the hang of the whole game). You can set 3 difficulty levels, play a league series culminating in a the "Super-Colossal Cereal Bowl" or play single "pick-up" games, play in preset or random weather conditions, and even make up your own player with different skills (it's fun to name this player after yourself)!

A few complaints: Once again, Pete Wheeler is the athletic, but intellectually challenged kid. I found some of his dialogue offensive--but it offers a good chance to talk with your kids about stereotypes. The compilation of player stats is good, but not as complete as the Baseball game offered by Humongous. A creative and fun addition is the inclusion of several NFL players (including Steve Young, Jerry Rice, Randall Cunningham, Barry Sanders, Brett Favre, and John Elway) as kids playing along with the Jr. Sports League cast. Now, not that I ever play this game, but I recommend Keisha on defense, Pete at running back, Barry Sanders at tight end, Annie as kicker.....

(I also recommend highly the Backyard Baseball Game by Humongous.)

Summary: I think its great for even football caoches!
Review: Even that my cousin has it, and I've only played it once, its really good. The game has different plays that you, the coach, chooses from. There are plays they no human could do. Some of these plays include stunts like jumping over people or a player disappearring and reappearing in another place. You can have your own team and play in a season or just play one game to get used to it. Its great even if you don't like football!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not just a computor game....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Quality Game
Review: My kids love this game. It is easy for them to use. Both my 5 yr old and 8 yr old play without any problem. The game is squeaky clean so there is no problem with questionable language, innuendo etc. like some other games. This game is absolutely worth the money! Buy it.
