Backyard Basketball 2007

"If this were a $50 game, I'd advocate waiting for a price drop, but it isn't. As a $30 game, it might be worth its cost if you have a son who is interested in basketball, but if your children are into NBA Live or something like that, this game would, in many ways, be a step backward, and can easily be skipped. Still, it is reasonably good for what it is and could serve as an entertaining primer for people new to basketball games, whether young or old."

"If the goal is to make a quick buck off the NBA license and younger PS2/GameCube/PC crowd, the Backyard Sports franchise is a success. If it’s about delivering a quality gaming experience to the younger crowd, however, the series has again missed the mark. Being a children’s product is no justification for sub-par quality."
