Xbox 360 Is This Game Any Good

[dannyboy]

Has anyone on this forum ever played this game and if you have, is it worth playing. I love sports games and i was just wondering if this was a game that had any value to it.

Here is a review of it by IGN:

Personally, I don't play sports games at all on consoles or PC (unless they're actual sports in real life) as I find them very boring. However, from the looks of it, the game is deemed to be mediocre to alright in general. If you love sports games so much, I would believe that you can give this game a try as long as the game is at a good price for it's value. Seeing as how the ratings are, if the game sells for around 10-20$ or less, go for it.

I absolutely love sports games so take that into account as you read what I think of it. I've played almost every sports game available for the 360 and backbreaker is alright campared to the rest. I personally think it is a good game and wroth the money, if you can find it in the bargain bin, which is what I did. I actually find most of my games there. As far as game play goes there isn't much difference to it than Madden, the layout pretty much looks the same. However it is not as good as the Madden games, which are my favorite.

If you can find it for a discounted price then I'd say go for it. Or you could even rent it, which is what I usually do if I'm unsure about a game. All in all if I were comparing this game to Madden I'd say that it's basically a dumbed down version with no real NFL teams. If you are looking for actual NFL teams then I'd say stay away from this game. Another feature that isn't the best is the online play. When it launched it received a lot of criticism as a lot of features were missing. Overall though I think this is an alright game for what it is. Don't expect it to be another Madden, though.

Not a fan on the sports games, but feel free to check out the reviews and decide for yourself if its worth getting.

There are a lot of areas where it just feels clunky. They got close to Madden and NCAA football games and things like that, but it just feels...off. If you like football and sports games, just play the originals.
