Gameplay (8/10)
Backyard Baseball has a fun, cartoonish gameplay that can be slow at times, but easy to control and kind of addictive. To begin, you select 9 kids to be on your team, some are pros and some are just made-up kids. There are special pitches you can get and special batting styles as well when you perform well, such as hitting home runs or throwing strikeouts.
The rules are the same as any baseball game.
Graphics (5/10)
The graphics are very shabby and very pixilated.
Durability (6/10)
Fun for a quick, relaxing, cartoon baseball game, but not for anything else.
Overall Score (6.7/10)
Final Thoughts:
Not worth picking up.
