Play with the Pros as kids on Nintendo Game Boy Advance! It’s great football action with the Backyard Kids and real pro players as kids.

Joe S. gave it a6:
Gameplay is funky. Biggest complaint is that when you switch players, it appears to switch from player 1 to player 2... to player 5. Not switching to the player closest to the play, which most of the time proves pretty useless.
