Critic Reviews

75 GameZone
Game controls are very simple, and easy to master. Humongous is adept at making sure that games such as this are kept within the abilities of the youngest players it targets – in this case, the game is for 7-year olds and up.
65 GameShark
Some kid games are fun for adults, Backyard Soccer is not one of those games but it is very well done game for younger kids.
49 PSX Nation
Backyard Soccer should, indeed, be buried in someone's backyard and then stepped on forever by kids playing soccer on a make-believe soccer field above its burial ground.
