E3 2002: Backyard Football for Gamecube
Posted 20 May 2002 at 18:41 by guest
The French publisher and former Nintendo 2nd-party are aiming to bring the sport to a much younger audience which a strange super-deformed look to the players. All the big NFL names will be present, including Donovan Mcnabb, Peyton Manning, Terrell Davis, Brett Farve, Ricky Williams, Jeff Garcia, Jevon Kearse, Jerry Rice, Michael Vick and Rich Gannon in "kid" form.
The game has been simplified down in terms of the look but sports realistic playfields (as well as fantasy ones) and 32 teams, famous players, shirts and realistic plays. A GBA version is also planned, hopefully you'll be able to link them up, but because it's being developed by a different developer (Torus Games) it is unlikely.
The game certainly seems interesting, and with Left Fields track record, could very well be great.
