Backbreaker Review

[Nicknam4]

Let's all bash Backbreaker while ignoring Madden's flaws!


After all Madden is the best football game out there! It's perfect!

Just like APF, which to me was maybe the best sports video game ever. It would just be nice if the reviewer didn't have such a negative attitude towards the game, and if he hated it so much give it less than a 5.

Is this game suppose to be a football game or a physics project? You can have all the nice physics you want but if it can't get basic football down everything else goes out the window. I get the feeling that the Backbreaker fans expect OS to give it a pass and go gaga over the physics.

I think I've figured out how this game is worthy of a 5. You see, because it's automatically being compared to other football games even though they've specifically said they aren't trying to compete.... it loses a point for having no real players or licenses, and it loses a point for not having announcers or a TV-style presentation. So... once you factor in the idea that the absolute perfect score for the game would be an 8, rather than a 10... well... a 5 is ok.

Going to say this once.

If you are trolling for a response, the best plan of action is to stop now. A few of you are obviously doing that. There won't be a warning next time, just infractions.

Discuss the review, good and bad about it. But there's no need to defend the game at all costs, and at the same time, no need to bash it at all costs. No one wins. If you don't like the game, no need to further post on the BB forums then, correct?

Same goes if you're comparing Madden, no need. Some of you have said that the games aren't technically competing, but then bringing up what score Madden will get. Madden has NOTHING to do with the topic at hand.

Thanks for most of you having a very good conversation about the review and game.

Is Madden suppose to be a football game or a 10 year joke project?

Actually you've got a good point amongst the sarcasm, I think reviews would be much lower if the review mentality of '50 = F/fail' was done away with and games were truly rated 1-10 in the systems that use 100%. Partially why it's easier to rate stuff 1-5 IMO.

Great review, but really why is everybody getting mad at the review?

"I cant believe OS would let this review to be posted" are you serious? this game by itself without the comparisons is just very unrealistic. Its like an "ok" 90's football mixed with some fly graphics and Dominique Sez: THATS A NO NO

Furthermore, im not going to rule out breakbreaker in their future endeavors but there 1st definitely has to be their worst cause they wont stay in business putting out Pre-K material like this

It's a bad review. It barely mention the biggest feature of the game and the reviewer appears to blame the game for his own low skill level. It is also low to go after the game for problems with the online community when many of the games reviewed here have the exact same problem, yet get a pass.
