Backbreaker Football for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

Backbreaker is the latest football video game on the market. Its not made by EA Sports, so you know it isn’t officially licensed by the NFL so there are no current NFL players in the game nor are there any former players in the game similar to 2K Sports, All-Pro Football 2K8. So does it have?

Backbreaker has very good graphics and gameplay. But the big reason to be excitied about this game was suppose to be the interesting camera angles. You can see the field as if you were that player instead of as a fan watching the game on TV. The big problem with this is that the camera shakes and jumps all over the place and is extremely too close with horrible angles. The game itself might not seem to bad but the bigger problem is when the camera jumps around and you can’t even see what is going on in the field.

For example if your the quarterback going back in the pocket and you want to throw the ball to a reciever and then out of nowhere the camera jumps to a lineman, you don’t know what is going on then you see the reciever caught the ball for a small gain. To make matters worse you could throw the ball right into the open arms….. of a defensive player. Or on the defense end you might think you are going to be able to see the player with the ball to tackle him, then out of nowhere the camera goes to a defensive player who is nowhere close to the play.

Now if you are a member of Gamefly I would rent this, since you are already paying for renting games. You might as well play this for a few minutes to an hour just for the comedy of horrors this game is. Its always fun to see interesting made up team names, uniforms and stadiums. I in no way am telling you to buy this or even rent this if you have to pay just to rent this game. I have to give this game a 6 for all the unique things they tried to do and the sheer maddeness of their camera angles.
