Video Game Reviews of Backyard Basketball
Customer Review: It was almost better than backyard baseball
Summary: 5 Stars
Backyard basketball is almost as fun as backyard baseball.Customer Review: Not bad.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a pretty good game. The graphics aren't to shabby, but they aren't as good as NBA Live 2002 or NBA 2k2. The game play is cool, but the controls feel a little weird.Customer Review: It's a Grand Slam!
Summary: 5 Stars
My oldest son has been playing baseball every since his little hands could hold a bat. If you ask him what he wants to be when he grows up, his answer is always "a baseball player" so it was no surprise to me that when he saw the software for Backyard Baseball that he would want to buy it. As much as I LOVE baseball myself, I really had no interest in learning the video game. After time however, I found myself asking questions and coming to an understanding that there was more to meet the eye than just your average virtual baseball game.
The first concept about this game that is really cute is there are 2 different stages and different levels. You can play t-ball or your standard little league baseball game. I thought that was a great addition to have both versions in one game because my little one can play this game as well and understand the concept since he too is in the t-ball league.
The second thing about this that makes it appealing to children is the different baseball fields the games take place in. Sometimes it's your typical baseball field, other times they're playing in a make shift baseball field out in a lot, a school baseball diamond, there are several and they're all very unique.
The third thing that I personally like is the kids that are in the game that play the baseball players are all racially diverse. There is even a player who is in a wheelchair but has one heck of a throwing arm! ;)
My husband really likes the fact that the game allows you to not only PLAY the game, but to also be the coach of the teams you select. Your child will actually pick the players on your team based on the players stats, and create a play list. You have a baseball schedule and everything and my son printed his out and played the games according the schedule like any other baseball game. His learning knowledge of how a team is put together was taught in a way we never could have explained.
After you play your team scheduled games, there is a little league series complete with a trophy for your child to print out!
I strongly recommend this game for every little baseball player or baseball player to be. My God-daughter also has this game and she loves it, so it's not just for boys. So give this one a try, I can guarantee you'll score a homerun for the person you buy this for!!! ;)

I bought this for my 10-year old nephew Ryan and he loves it. The first time he played it for 4 hours non-stop, I had to beg him to get away from the computer to eat. I also recommend Backyard Soccer and Backyard Football, he also likes those alot.Customer Review: Sweetness
