Backyard Football 08 for Wii Reviews by Gamers

Pros:
Good graphics at 480. Easy entry into gameplay. Tutorials are a nice touch for beginners. Dumbed down clone of the Madden series for kids.

Cons:
Unbelievable AI. My younger brother would get very frustrated at how tough the AI opponents are. Your team seems to be non-athletic while The AI intercepts most long passes and seem to know your every move, even at the easy setting. Not only that, it seems to Take some time to register your passes.

Even though this title had a fair rating, the reviews were not very specific and it's for kids. With that, I rented this for my younger brother and I was sorry to do so. Even though it is easy to pickup and play, the tough AI and registering your moves were a letdown. With so many turnovers, fumbles, and misses, my younger brother was not having any fun. This game is actually harder than Madden 07 and it's for kids.

It is a shame that Humongous has gone this route, making more challenging kids' games that even adults would not want to play. I would suggest that you teach your child how to play Madden 07 instead.
