Football – America’s favorite past time. Over the years as video game technology has improved by leaps and bounds, it is nice to know that the football sports genre has also progressed to what we have today across multiple consoles, with Atari bringing their latest offering – Backyard Football ‘10. This title makes its debut on the Xbox 360 platform after picking up Microsoft’s “Family Games” status that has passed a strict set of criteria based on rating, ease of play and audience appeal. For those who own a Nintendo Wii and PS2, Backyard Football ‘10 is also available on those platforms complete with a star studded roster of NFL players featured as animated middle-schoolers in the game.

Packed with real football action, Backyard Football ‘10 features all new co-op play for exciting 2 vs 2 action, enhanced controls, new unlockables, insane power ups, custom teams and characters, multiple play modes (single player, season play, tournament and all-pro) as well as a hall of fame where kids can compare their season scores and rankings from Backyard Football ‘09. Backyard Football ‘10 combines realistic NFL plays and strategies with wild arcade style power moves and comical scenarios so gamers of all ages can learn the fundamentals of football while having fun. Kid-friendly and non-violent, Backyard Football ‘10 features multiple levels so it is easy for beginners to jump in a play, yet challenging enough for even die-hard football fans. The game lets kids customize their football players and teams, choose the season, style, location, pace, and strategy of the game and play a full season or single games.

Backyard Football ‘10 has been given an “E” (for everyone) rating by the ESRB. You will have to pay $39.99, $29.99 and $19.99 for the Xbox 360, Wii and PS2 versions, respectively.
