The Game
Backyard Football, a HumongousEntertainment and Infogrames release for the PC, couples the excitement offootball with a joyous kids version of the game into a product that features bigleague players with familiar Backyard names in a game that is tackling fun andblitzing entertainment.
As with most Backyard titles, thisgame features the commentary of Sunny Day. This time she is joined by ChuckDownfield, the maestro of the mouthpiece.
When it comes to game play, and entertainment, this game is as finely tunedas the 2001 St. Louis Rams’ offense. The game transforms the up-town game play of aMadden 2001 game to the backyard with youngsters, even severalyounger versions of NFL stars, performing the routes and blocking schemes in anaction-packed format.
The graphical elements of this gameare very good for the time. The animations are first-rate – bearing in mind the style of thegame play – and the play-by-play commentary is up to Humongous’ high standards.There are 10 kid-size versions of pro players, 31 NFL teams and logosrepresented, and even touchdown dances.
As with most of the Backyard titles,you begin in the clubhouse. From that point you can create a profile (as in acoach’s name), create your team and embark on a grueling schedule that includespracticing against robots, an exhibition game or the season play.
You can, of course, pick a weathercondition, factor in fatigue and weather conditions, but the simple (seemingly)task of calling plays and executing them relies on field recognition, and adeptselection of the controller’s elements. This is not – even at the elementarydifficulty levels – an easy game to master.
The game comes with an assistant coachmode, which enables less experienced players the opportunity to call the plays,then let the computer control portions of the actual play that are tough – likehitting that wide receiver on a fly pattern.
Backyard Football 2002 is a very niceprogram that packs the fun of sports and football into a format that will appealto all.
Note: My compatibility CD does not alter the retail game or bypass copy protection. It allows the original media to install and run correctly on any modern version of Windows.
