    This game after the patch is the best football game out. Everything from the tackling and blocking is spot on. There are many people online that have created the NFL roster and logos so the NFL license is not needed. If your tired of madden or NCAA is game is at least worth a rent. The developers of this game are also very interactive with the community and you can tell that they arent just about the money. This technology there using is the future for sports video games Expand

  1. The main reason you will enjoy it is because the twin analogue stick controls are as simple as they are rewarding and each tackle is a cacophony of limbs that is extremely visceral. [July 2010 p73]
  2. Backbreaker is trying to break into a genre that is dominated by a 2,000 pound gorilla and for that alone I applaud them. However they need to do some serious enhancements, maybe even illegal ones, in order to be taken seriously.
  3. Basic, but brutal and thrilling - Backbreaker hits home hard. Hut! [Aug 2010, p.100]
