Backbreaker Vengeance Review

03:17 PM - July 4, 2011 by ChaseB

Jayson Young celebrates Independence Day with a gushing review about Backbreaker Vengeance.

Quote:


	Rushing in, you boldly take the ball. Defenders are everywhere, but somehow your body and this ball have to get around the wet mulch pile, over the wooden bench, through the foursquare area and finally into the clear. You turn around, taunt the panting defenders by holding the ball just out of their grasp, and then you flex your muscles just like Hulk Hogan. Playing Backbreaker Vengeance's centerpiece mode, Tackle Alley, is like reliving a childhood game of recess.

Ratesports isn't a sports site though, it's the guy(s) that did roster work on Backbreaker and APF2k8 (and have been banned here repeatedly)

It's a fan site dedicated primarily to APF and, to a lesser degree, Backbreaker. The fact that they gave BB:V a positive review is hardly a surprise.

Can you prove that?

Because I distinctly remember IGN being plastered full of Duke Nukem Forever ads a month or so ago and then giving the game a 5.5.

Solid deflection. Way to just ignore what I said because you didn't have an answer for it.

I hear this all the time, and sometimes I feel like this has to be the truth myself... but has there ever been something official and verifiable that has revealed this? Wouldn't that compromise any sort of partnership between EA and IGN, say like being able to still review their games?

I'm all for speculation, but I wouldn't throw out the word "fact" and emphasize it without providing a credible source as well.

I agree.

Or better yet, sell the engine to EA. If a football game had the Euphoria engine + EA's perks (dynasty mode, online dynasty, real teams & rosters, less lag) it would be amazing.

Although I will not buy Vengenance because it doesn't have a career mode similar to dynasty or franchise, the physics engine and the animations are beautiful.

The engine has been "for sale" (for licensing) ever since it has existed. EA doesn't need it though, as long as they start using the tech from NHL and FIFA 12 in Madden.
