What Gamespot Users have to say about Backbreaker
- Rating:4.5
Less like a game of pro football, and more like a pick-up game with 100 people who don't know what they're doing.
I've been waiting for Backbreaker for years. Following every dev diary, watching every trailer, drooling over every new tidbit of information, all the while, fully expecting that it is going to unseat Madden by revolutio... Read Full Review

The Skate of football games
Yeah yeah yeah, Hate on Backbreaker all you want, but in reality you know its probably cause you sucked at it when you first picked up the controller. I don't understand why EVERYONE is so stubborn about this game, sure ... Read Full Review

So much wasted potential as 505 games continues the trend of releasing sub-par games which COULD have rocked!
Backbreaker is a game well known and famous for being the first sports game to use the Euphoria engine. Sadly, that is the games only claim to fame. It serves as more of a tech demo than a stand alone game. As an Aust... Read Full Review

It takes some time to get used to, but its fun once you understand how to play.
Ok first off I am tired of people comparing this to madden. its not madden by any means. Although secondly the game is meant to be interactive and fun and to me the camera angle and unpredictablility makes it that way. a... Read Full Review

Euphoria works as advertised. The remainder of the game is a bit lacking. Overall a positive debut.
Don't be discouraged by all the negatives. A lot of people have been making mountains out of mole-hills because of all the things this game isn't. Drawing comparrisons to Madden is ridiculous because Madden has been arou... Read Full Review

I love this game...
"forcing you to read the defense and go through all your receivers to find someone who's open" Almost like football? Yeah there are a lot of things about the game that you will have to get used to. The view, getting... Read Full Review

Remarkable Graphics, Hard Hits, Has potential and NO it's NO MADDEN, but it gets the job done killing time till Madden11
First off I must say I'm tired of players complaining saying it isn't like madden or can contest to madden or that it's even better then madden because none of the above apply. There are a lot of mixed reactions felt whe... Read Full Review
