What Gamespot Users have to say about Backbreaker

  • Rating:7

    After playing Madden for years, I wanted something different, well here it is!

    GAMEPLAY: 7.5/10 The gameplay is very unique. You are simply one man, and you play your position. On offense, you can be the QB and throw passes, or be a RB and run the ball. Defense is quite cool too, taking down the Q... Read Full Review

    The game is pretty good. It runs pretty well.

    All of you who think that Backbreaker's camera angles are horrible and you can't see whats happening around you, are right. It is horrible, but the intense action and bone cracking hits the game delivers, I think makes ... Read Full Review

    "The tackles are different every time. but the horrendous gameplay weighs it down!"

    Gameplay: Backbreaker's gameplay is a total flip of a coin! On offense, the controls and up-close camera view are terrible. When passing, the camera focuses on the player that you have chosen to focus on pre-snap. Even t... Read Full Review

    P.O.S

    The one thing that's supposed to matter most when creating a game is what seemed to matter the least to this development team and that's GAMEPLAY. You can't have great gameplay when you throw 10 plus picks a game and st... Read Full Review

    It was a crime to have this sold as a full game.

    I have a lot of time with this game, trying to perfect the passing game. I have a 100 focus QB, but still throw interceptions, and at this point 97% of them are not my fault. The defenders in this game are worse than Mad... Read Full Review

    Fun game, just needs a few improvements.

    I bought Backbreaker with eyes wide open. I actually like the idea of a game with no NFL license. I loved the first blitz:the league, the second was a little disappointing. So I was really anxious to get ahold of Backbre... Read Full Review

    People who are reviewing this game, and Gamespot, have no idea what they are reviewing. The learning curve isn't too steep, the unpredictability is a good thing and it is an innovation in video gaming. We have been playi... Read Full Review
