Tired of all the regular football titles like Madden and even NFL Blitz? I know what you've been thinking' 'if only somebody would release a football game with big headed pre-adolescent NFL stars, I would sacrifice graphics, audio, and interesting gameplay.'? Well, look no farther as Backyard Football may be what you've been waiting for. All kidding aside however, Backyard Football is geared toward 7-10 year olds who might not be looking for the ultra real, highly detailed football game.
Backyard Football is basically a highly simplified football game that can be picked up easily without having an in-depth knowledge of the sport. For instance, there are only five players on the field at one time, the plays are simple, and the rules are relaxed. It also achieves a backyard feel by taking out the referees and inserting other kids into the NFL player pool that oddly enough can have better stats than the NFL players.
The problems add up quickly however as the gameplay isn't exciting or overly interesting. There are a number of options to choose from but the obvious lack of depth in most areas of the game severely limits it's potential for anybody not in the target age group. Other areas don't help it either as the graphics leave much to be desired with poor textures and a lack of details. In addition, the audio is in the same boat adding little excitement to the game. Problems like the announcer's comments being noticeably spliced together to call a play continue to show a lack of refinement.

Although Backyard Football may work for a seven-year-old, few others would get much enjoyment from it. Lacking serious refinement in most areas, the 'cute'? style of gameplay wears off quickly and leaves few reasons to come back.
