 THE BEST BACKYARD GAME YET December 15, 2003
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is easily the best backyard game. I've been playing the backyard games since the original Backyard Baseball! So I know. Pete Wheeler is funnier than ever (I still get a kick out of him everytime he says "One Time It Rained.") Dmitri Petrovich finally found a sport he rules at (Pick him, He can shoot a three pointer from anywere). And its easy to win! IT RULES ON THIN ICE!
 way too easy. December 26, 2002

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:
- Very simple controls
- Not hard for little kids
- No offensive content (it is, however, targeted to younger persons) Cons:
- Way too easy for older gamers (e.g. 9-12)
- Gets stale and repetative after awhile 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.
Very Good! December 10, 2002

This is a very good game! The graphics are so and so the gameplay is pretty good, the power ups are also very good the only bad thing is the season is a bit too long for my liking a worthy eddition to your Backyard Collection.
Backyard Basketball is Tops November 27, 2002

This game is not too hard. I haven't gotten too far, but I can tell it's really great. I would recommend this game if you're not familiar with backyard sports, beacuse I brushed my way through most of it. Try checking this game out.
Had Hoped It Would BeAs Good As Backyard Baseball November 11, 2002

This was disappointing. After Backyard Baseball was a tremendous hit with our 4-year old. Backyard Basketball doesn't live up to the Baseball game. My son & I were both expecting another 30+ professional players that we could learn their names and statistics together. Instead, unike the Backyard Baseball, this product isn't endorsed by the NBA as significantly. It would be great if the software maker put out updates each year so that we could buy another set of players to add to the roster to pick from each year. In general, I'd highly recommend the Backyard Series of PC Games, kid's love them, and they put hours of time into learning how to use them. After getting past the initial disappointment of only learning Kevin Garnett's name, we still enjoyed this game.
